whenever i try to create a scenario_structure_bsp,but whenever i try, it says "error 0x00000003 'the system cannot find the patch specified' " can someone help me with this problem?

Exactly what it means.

YOu typed the wrong address.

Where is your folder with your .jms file inside it?

it should be data\levels\test\mapname\models

OR

data\levels\mapname\models

then, the tool command is

tool structure levels\test\mapname mapname

thanks but now it says:
"choose a type of shader for the mtl #
1. shader_environment
2. shader_model
3. shader_transparent_generic
4. shader_transparent_chicago
5. shader_transparent_chicago_extended
6. shader_transparent_water
7. shader_transparent_glass
8. shader_transparent_meter
9. shader_transparent_plasma
choice <1-9>: "
any idea which I should choose?

you should choose shader_enviroment. then you have to edit the shader for your map

i chose shader environment, now how do i edit it?

Compile (if you hadn't already) and find your bitmaps that are for your map. Insert it/those into the slot in the shader that says bitmap or whatever it's called.

since this is my first map, how do i compile?

well i dont want to explain it but i used these tutorails to make my first map and it worked

http://www.h2ek.com/resources/hce-tutorials/index.html - the first 9 tutorails are on basic map making

the one that covers how to edit your level's shader is number 7 "Compiling the Scenario with Tool"

thanks, but now whenever i try to create a lightmap it says "error 0x00000003 the system cannot find the path specified.
couldnt open scenario tag mapname.scenario
need to get following tags:
levels\mapname\mapname.scenario

done"
I am a total noob when comes to makin maps and i need help with this

Just for the record, you are typing your map's name, not mapname, right?

i am typing the maps name which isnt map name

Alrighty.

You are probably typing the wrong thing

tool lightmaps levels\mapname\mapname mapname\0 .9

I think...

well now whenever i try to open the scenario file, the game window is pitch black and i cant see jack.

Did you set a sky?

yes i did put the timberland sky and is still pitch black

What was the result of the lightmaps command?

it said this:
"usage: tool verb <options . .>
lightmaps <scenario> <bsp index> <quality> <stop threshhold>"

now what would that mean?

do you have it set to a multiplayer map?

how do i do that

That failed.

What did you type?

it should be tool lightmaps levels\mapname\mapname mapname mapname\0 .9

I think...keep trying variations

The command is:

tool lightmaps levels\mapname\mapname mapname 0 0.9

that should work (i think after you open it up in saphien you must save radiosity...)

if you do... the command in saphien is radiosity_save

Don't have to, it creates the bitmap for you.

good, lol

ok ill try the commands as soon as i get back to my house at the end of this weekend
