In Sapien I can't move the camera. I'm pressing the WSAD keys while holding down the middle mouse button but the camera won't move. I need to navigate to the skybox because the camera loads outside of my BSP. Help?

Make sure you've clicked inside the 3D window, and maybe press shift while holding that mouse button.

I tried holding shift, but I still can't move. I can pitch/yaw though. Do you think there's something wrong with my world geometry? Tool.exe didn't complain about any open edges so I'm a bit stuck.

My map is very simple, it's just a frame linked to a skybox with a ground texture applied to the bottom two faces. I placed my frame outside the skybox; does it need to go inside the skybox?

Tapping shift increases camera speed. Are you sure you're not just moving very slowly?

It's hard to tell with only the sky visible, however I've tried moving the camera up/down with f/r and nothing appears to be happening. I set the camera speed to 60x. I think something's wrong with my BSP, either that or Sapien doesn't like Vista.

lol, I got it. You didn't run lightmaps.

tool lightmaps levels\YOURLEVEL\YOURLEVEL YOURLEVEL 0 0.9

if the bsp YOURLEVEL is in the scenario levels\YOURLEVEL\YOURLEVEL.scenario

okay as i was typing i think your problem just got solved.

I already ran:

radiosity_quality 0

radiosity_start

radiosity_save

in the debug command in Sapien, isn't that the same thing?

Did it work? Do it in command prompt, it's faster.

Faster because it's lower quality.

Yep, I've tried both the command-line method and the debug method and neither had any effect. I tried building the cache file and running the map and I couldn't move. My guess is there's something wrong with the BSP.

On a side note, after a scenario compiles in tool is there supposed to be 0 kilobytes of collision data, vertices, etc.? I noticed that when I built my scenario but since I got no errors I thought I was good.

The map I'm trying to create is the one from the official HEK tutorial, without any of the bases or anything added in the second part - just the skybox with the ground texture - which is why I'm confused as to where I could've went wrong.

did u make a shader? and and no its not supposed to say 0 kb of collision data
