IIRC, map files are just text. Have you tried to have a look at the offending line in the file to see if anything is obviously out of the ordinary?

[[rD]MrPink]

Yes, that would be the way to go. Just use notepad or something.

[SuperC]

isnt there an easier way, there is no way of knowing which line it is anyways cause they arent numbered :eek:

[damocles]

The only alternative is to open the mapname.bak file in your maps folder, that will be you previous, previous save.

Get http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ and open up the .map. It has line numbering.

Good grief!!! If you can't even use notepad how are you ever going to learn radiant? Open up your map file in notepad, and press ctrl+g, then enter the line number you are looking for.

[Irrelevant]

Uhh... Ctrl-G does nothing in notepad.

Just tried it.

:suspicious:

I think he ment TextPad.

[Irrelevant]

OK.

I use SciTE (http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html) for everything.


Googled up a link for TextPad (http://www.textpad.com/). And discovered an advantage of SciTE over it - it's free (and open source)! :D


PS: Yes, I'm one of those open-source hippies.

No I meant notepad, you know, the bare bones editor that comes with windows?
Ctrl+g will open up the goto line box. Or if you don't like shortcuts, click edit>Go To...

Of course, I'm running w2k, but I can't imagine that m$ actually added functionality to notepad after all these years?!

[digibob]

They did, scarily enough. I don't think ctrl-g was introduced until 2k.

I have ctrl+G on XP but it's permenantly shaded grey for not usable in the menu :/ (shortcut doesn't work either)

[Lostmyed]

It works in XP Pro yipee.. Thats what the xtra £80 was for.. :disgust:

[damocles]

Hmm, I have pro. Wonder why it doesn't work on mine :/

[Doc]

Nope. You won't know what's wrong with the file unless you examine its contents. Get yourself one of those editors above with line numbering, then check the offending line.

The only time I have had this error was when de-compiling one of my old
maps from its .bsp... is this the case with your map SuperC ?

Basically the .bsp wasn't de-compiled fully, there were several lines of code missing
from the resultant .map file.

EDIT: Crimson editor all the way ;)

[SuperC]

lol, thanks guys i found the problem my last line didnt end with a }

Turn word wrap off.
