Numbers/Letters Appear After .BSP Filename

[IrocJeff]

So I've noticed that I seem to have two bsp files generated with my maps. Like, my brewery map is brew.bsp.53cde14e. Any idea as to why this happens or what this is or anything?

Perhaps a bug in the compiler ?? Which version are you using ??

 I'm using 2.5.16

are you referring to GTK Radiant or the compiler itself? Also information such as what operating system you are using might be would be helpful

[Xycaleth]

What q3map2 options are you running with?

Well, since when was there a GTK Radiant version 2.5.16? The compiler, silly.. 

 

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

What q3map2 options are you running with?

 

When I test everything I usually just run the second stock test BSP choice. The one with Super2 in it. If that is what you mean.

Did you happen to change some settings in your Windows 7 users policy ??

[IrocJeff]

I'm set to administrator and I'm the only one that uses my system. I haven't touched any of that in a long time.

 

Its no big deal, really. I just wondered if anyone else ran into it.

Does the compiler run into any errors? (Check the console output, that might have some more info but I can't think of anything atm)

No errors. 

 

I think I only noticed this after I installed Quake3mapToolz .

It is a possibility that it originates from there. Did you try un-installing Quake3mapToolz ??

Had a quick look at the q3map2 source code. You should only be seeing a file like blahblah.bsp.******** if q3map2 failed to write over the existing .bsp file. So try looking for blahblah.bsp (without the extra stuff), delete it, and then try recompiling.

Maybe try running it as administrator?

That seemed to work great, thanks.

What would cause this ?

[Xycaleth]

Only reason I can think of is the file permissions on the .bsp file got messed up some how, or maybe was created as an admin, and you were trying to compile as a non-admin.
