Include .wad in .bsp
Hello!
I have problems with including my .wad-files when compiling to .bsp.

Picture: Batch Compiler CSG Config
I have checked so the wad.cfg is in the right folder.
----- Wad Config -----
I have these lines put into my wad.cfg:
cs

From the compilation log you can read:
Using mapfile wad configuration
Wadinclude list :
[zhlt.wad]
But, I can't seem to find anything anywhere that is including zhlt.wad, I have checked every setting, config everywhere I can find.
I hope someone has an answer for me, I am sure I have made a simple mistake somewhere or something is missing!
Thanks, j0kER`
Try this file I made for you, usually people don't include wads anymore
Click
Just put that where your hlbsp.exe and the rest of the exe also put your bkz_assualt_v40.map in the same spot too and see if it compiles
on just write "$csg_exe" , "$path\$file -nowadtextures" this is without batchcompiler.
try withtout this compiler , if works then the problem is configuring the batch compiler.
I think you're misunderstanding something here. Wadinclude does not write the textures into your bsp. The parameter that makes this happen is -nowadtextures with the CSG compiler, which is still missing from your compile log.
Try checking additional parameters and type in -nowadtextures.

Tried exactly what you said, did not work :(

I have tried -nowadtextures both on additional parameters in CSG and when compiling the map in the "game parameters"-field, none of those worked either :(

I do not really understand what you are saying in the first sentence :S
I could try to compile the map without batch compiler, but I have no idea how to do that, how do I disable BC without removing the program?
Why don't you just fit your messages in one post?
I couldnt quote all at the same time when I was replying, so this was the easiest way to answer those peope who tries to help me.
well, BC is better but i think you is new at mapping so my tip is :" try to keep simple.
know how hammer works than you search more prograns to help your work. I dont use BC so often but you need to add a parameter on CSG Compiler:
-nowadtextures
Try to unmark that Wad config and leave blank space. And keep "No Wad Textures" marked.
j0ker upload your .rmf file for me and all the wads you used and I'll compile it for you..
He need to solve his problem on his own.
First off did you add your .wad's on your WAD.TXT file? Not .cfg the one I'm talking about is on the HLFIX folder. You do not need to mess with wad.cfg AT ALL
Find your wad.txt in (Batch Compiler\Half-Life Editing\HL-Compiled\HL1 Tools\HLFix) maybe it's different for you. And add there your wads like this.
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\cstrike\xComblock.wad
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\cstrike\xDeathtales2.wad
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\cstrike\zTemple.wad
Then open Batch Compiler and in the HLFix tab, add the wad.txt, the option is down there. Then in CSG tab check No WAD Textures and WAD Auto Detect.
That's all. If it's not working, you're doing something wrong on your end.

That would be the easy way sure, but as sn00p says, I need and Want to learn to solve my own problems, otherwise, am I going to ask someone to compile my map everytime?:D Thanks anyway!

I have added them to the wad.cfg, so that was wrong by me, but I cant seem to find this hlfix folder anywhere, I even reinstalled BC..
I would like to try and compie my map this way though!
For now I have solved the problem on my own and I am including my .wads I want in the .bsp with the following:
[blockquote]C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Mapping\hlcsg.exe -estimate -wadinclude arrowsign.wad C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Mapping\Maps\bkz_assault_v41.map

notepad.exe C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Mapping\Maps\bkz_assault_v41.log[/blockquote]
Saved as .bat and run the file in the same folder as the .map, the problem I came up with then was that the textures I use additive on doesn't become additive, but that will be the next problem hehe :D
Use this BC http://halflife.bluefang-logic.com/file.htm?act=view&id=1
And do as I said, everything will work just fine.

Tried to do exactly as you said and it is still not working, this is making me go nuts soon -.-
I tried almost every possible combination of settings that would make sense and nothing is working that I try..
This is my BC Preset File: -link-
[blockquote]RMF Directory: C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Mapping\Maps
wad.txt Directory: C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Mapping\Maps
Full path to .wad-files inside wad.txt(one per line):
C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Mapping\WADs\arrowsign.wad
C:\Users\Tommy\Desktop\Mapping\WADs\timecounter.wad
Input File: RMF
[/blockquote]
I have done exactly as everything says it should be configured, and it is still not working.. I am starting to think that something is broken somewhere..
Sorry, why aren't your .wads in your /cstrike/ folder?
And second thing, leave the wad.txt where is it, in the HLFix folder.
Move the wads into your /cstrike/ folder, re-config everything to match your new locations, check them twice, wad folder, wad.txt file and BC settings and paths in HLFix tab, the problem is on your end.
And seeing that you keep your map/rmf on Desktop is a bad choice, that might require (in some cases) admin rights, as Run as Administrator on Batch Compiler, so you better do yourself a favor and organize your work better.
As keep a folder in your D: partition or w/e you want with your .RMFs files.
man use on batch /csg/ wad auto detect
