WzMap - The Enhanced Q3MAP2 alternative.

[UniqueOne]

New download link in the main post.

 

Mostly bug fixes, also increased some limits, improved speed with multi-threading in a few places, and fixed some bugs.

 

You can see some screenshots of some of the new stuff added in this post:

any chance of better BSP decompiling back to .MAP files?

Not too sure how much is possible. It's been a while since I used it, but from memory it only can't do the shaders, right?

When I decompile a .BSP file,  the texture scaling, rotation & positioning aren't kept and are reset to default values.

Tried this on one of my DF2 maps and I get a warning in-game saying "light grid array mismatch" and I have a few missing textures that appear to have been replaced with caulk.

I see. I will look into it when I get some time.

Think I know what the light grid issue is. I might need to compile a version of wzmap with original lightmap size for basejka.

 

Missing textures is a bit odd though. Anything special about them or their shaders?

maybe you could chat with paulvortex or others who have written BSP decompilers?

Nah just your typical base JKA kind of textures and shaders. I dunno, maybe fixing the light grid thing will fix this too..

Try this update. I set MAX_MAP_LIGHTGRID to the jka default.

Not sure it will have any effect on the missing shaders. Think I need more info to track that down.

@@UniqueOne - perhaps it would be enlightening if you compiled an original demo map file... and then decompiled it to see where it fails to reproduce the original .map file?

Still no change.

Hmm. I will look into it some more.

[DarthDementous]

doesn't decompiling a .bsp also remove all entity lighting? I've had that happen a few times and I wasn't sure if that was the intended side effect or not.

[Tempust85]

Lights aren't entities, unless you tell q3map2 to keep them (forget how exactly).

[Smoo]

Still gets rid of the lighting though

Here you go. Try this version. Seems to be working for me.

Sorry about the mega.nz link, jkhub uploader(s) seem(s) to be broken.

 

EDIT: New full upload on first post in the thread because of jkhub file issue.

Any idea if this will work for SOF2 aswell?

I mean the amount of models being used or is this only for Warzone Mod. And if only for Warzone Mod, could it be possible to make the adjustments  for SOF2 aswell? (not saying you have to)

I think it should work as it is now. You might be limited on how much of the procedural geometry you can add.

ok I'm testing it out with a testmap I once made of CSGO's Italy, using a lot of its models but I get 2 errors: libxml2-2.dll and libpng14-14.dll missing, I'm using the base of GTK 1.4 and Q3MAP2 2.5.16

EDIT: Fixed by using paulvortex's BloodMap x64 folder and your .exe

You need to download the main wzmap file on the first page and then extract the last version over it.

None of the downloads work mate

& when compiling I get this error : http://puu.sh/snJkI/811968f3c5.png , perhaps cause of the use of bloodmap dlls?

Could you reup the whole deal ? I'm really curious if this'll work

Full new upload in the first post. Also put a few checks into the code you crashed on. Hopefully it will help.

[Guest KENNITHH]

Yeah it keeps crashing for me at FixBrushFaces with both my maps

I guess I could compile it with threading disabled for that section. Will need to wait though, i'm compiling a map at the moment, so I cant compile the exe.

[Guest KENNITHH]

Perhaps it's better that I post my log here as there are multiple FixBrushFaces:

And no problem waiting
