I was going through a tutorial to make my first map, and followed everything that the tutorial guy said to do. I go through tool (after setting it up), create the map file, edit out unnecessary stuff in .jms file as tutorial shows, open up Sapien and open the map file, and become quite confused. In the tutorial it shows the map that was created in Gmax, but mine just has black emptiness, despite doing everything the tutorial said to do. Can anyone tell me if this is a simple matter of clicking a few buttons/changing some settings or something else? I toyed around with it for a few minutes but nothing changed. Thanks.
EDIT: question rephrase: How do I get my Gmax created map to show in Sapien? I'm using Geometric Geek's tutorial if that makes a difference... Edited by Dusinator on Mar 26, 2008 at 01:36 PM |

Did you run lightmaps?

Yes to both questions.
I tried again from scratch, and now instead get a blue background (the color I temporarily chose for the sky). Progress? This time, however, I get warning messages: Quote: Warning: 1 clusters in structure_bsp levels\beginner\beginner have no background sound or... (message trails off of the side of the screen) could not teleport camera into starting BSP The messages follow a very quick flash-by of my Gmax created map. Can you help diagnose what is going wrong? I'm doing everything the tutorial tells me to do! =\ Thanks! |

Do I need to restart on the map again or can I move it (and if so, how to drag the map over)?
Edit: I opened my gmax file and found that my map is smack center of the workspace.
