Problem with map2dif...

by Earl Li · in Artist Corner · 11/19/2001 (4:59 pm) · 2 replies

** Executing...
** Command: C:\Program Files\GarageGames\v12\tools\map2dif.exe
** Parameters: c:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\desktop\MYGAME~1\tests\TEXTUR~1\maps\testmap.map


and it gives me this error

"error, the map file must have a .MAP extension"


I'm trying to run my testmap.MAP, and it still asks for a .MAP extension.

I followed all the steps in the Doc, can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? thanx.

1. you could try putting the map in the same dir as map2dif to see if it's just confused by those paths

2. did you use any other parameters, like -o outputfilename -t texturelocation -v -h ???

thanx for replying :)

actually I used worldcraft and reference the map2dif.exe in worldcraft.

Also, I tried using -t "texture directory"

but it kept asking for a specific texture within the wad file.

Eg. If the texture within the wad file is called, cement1, and when I tried to use -t "texture directory"(where the wad file is located), it still asks for, "cement1" texture when trying to convert to dif.

thanx for your time :)
