Well it seems whenever I take a break from NS mapping I just forget everything. However, this time I have an excuse!

I was trying to set up the Zoner's setup for Batch Compile and figured I had everything configured correctly. When I would run it, it compiled and opened NS, but no map started. I went in and manually tried to start a map to no avail.

Now, running the compiler out of Hammer worked just fine - the map runs and shows and all that junk, but alot of people tell me Batch Compiler is much better to use than Hammer's compile tools.

Any idears?

EDIT: Second of all, whenever I run NS and try and run the map, it just sends me back to the main menu. However, whenever I compile and run, the map will activate until I turn it off. This being said, I can view the map only after it compiles - I can't access it until I recompile it. Strange, huh?

the only difference with using Bc over hammer to compile is that you are able to continue work in hammer while the compile is going. Other then that it will create the same compiled map if you use the same compile tools.

From what I read I think Bc isn't copying the map to the Ns map. See if the map is there after a Bc compile. I always manually copy the file, so since i never used the copy/run map function of either hammer of Bc I can't help ya there

No worries. I pulled my computer out earlier today and it loaded the level just fine, interestingly enough.

We have competition here for Technology Student Association coming up and I think I'll submit the level I'm making for 3D Video Game Design. Some of my peers said its a sure-fire winner.

EDIT - Im having problems with VHE on Windows Vista. Whenever I try to use my 3D view in terms of simply selecting things, it wont let me - it freezes. Any reported problems of this?
