Another request for pipeline

#1 The .map importer in the latest version of Pipeline *should* load Quake .map files. Let me know if it gives you any problems and i'll fix it.

#2 I try to import the QUAKE 3:AREA default map q3dm1sample.map and got the following message:

.\Map2CSM.cpp @ 428
Unexpected token looking for next entity at line 797!

[EDIT] I've converted this map file into a DIF using map2dif_plus without problems except for the
lights seems not work yet.

#3 I'm not finding q3dm1sample.map in my Quake 3 install. Could you point me at the location to get that particular map file?

#4 Forgot to mention about the map file itself, sorry about that. It's from the Q3 Arena demo downloaded from the 3dgamers.com, the url is:

www.3dgamers.com/games/quake3arena/downloads/

and I install the q3toolsetup_dec221999.exe map editing tools.

BTW Do I need to put the textures with the map file?

#5 Thanks Steven. I have what i need now and i'll take a peek at this issue tonight.

I don't think your error is related to the textures, but your textures should be somewhere within one of the Cshop/textures folders when you launch Cshop. If not the default textures are assigned.

#6 Ok i took a quick look at the map and it seems that it's the curved surfaces. I guess my test map didn't include any and i overlooked it. I suppose that map2dif_plus just skips them as there is no real equivalent (short of DTS shapes) in Torque.

#7 So will you fix this problem by skip them just like map2dif_plus does and maybe report the error in the meantime right?

#8 Well it will just skip them at least. I could maybe add a warning on exit with details of what was skipped over.

#9 Ok, looking forward to it and the importer is a awesome idea really.

#10 FYI. I didn't forget about this. I'm just out of town this weekend. =)

#11 So, cant use curved surfaces/patches then?

#12 Nope... Torque has never supported Q3 curved surfaces for DIF interiors.
