Compilers for Windows 64-bit?

[Mikemc]

When I try to compile a map in Windows 7 64-bit I get the error that qbsp3 is not compatible with Windows 64-bit. Are there any compilers (bsp, vis, rad) that will work?

Don't know much about w7 yet, but in earlier windows versions you have an option to run programs in even earliere windows modes.
Don't know if that's possible in your case though.

No problems here with kmqbsp, gddvis, and ArghRad on Win7 Professional 64-bit. If you're still using the original qbsp3 that might be the problem.

Could you please direct me to those files? I tried to search for kmqbsp and Ill I get is a Minnesota television report on earthquakes :*(

It's on the KMQ2 site:

Follow the Downloads linkydink...that'll get you kmqbsp

gamers.org/pub/idgames2/planetquake/arghrad/

That'll get you the version of Arghrad I like to use (I don't use Win7 though, so...)

You could try these for vis. For Gddvis, someone else will have to throw down.

Um, that link is to Gddqvis3 (Geoffery Dewan's QVis).

THANKYOU!!
I am now using gddqbsp3 109, vis3 104, rad3 103
Except now I'm having that "Cannot find pics/colormap.pcx" error. I have one in my Quake2/baseq2/pics directory, as well as the tmpQuark/pics folder. Maybe it needs it in the compilers folder too? That'd be strange.

Quark error?!...

(Go to Quark ---> games --> Quake -->select Quake2

Then
(Go to Quark ---> games --> configuration )..fix path to your quake2 dir.

Ready!.

[Mikemc]

no, that was already set. I've fixed the problem by using Arghrad 2.01 instead.

I'm now able to compile maps with lighting in Windows 7 64-bit, thanks everyone! Project ISSD may just see the light of day after all

Strange, all of the qbsp programs work fine in my W7 x64.

If you're still having this issue, the colormap.pcx issue can be remedied as easily as finding the file online. That's the file that rad uses to determine light/color levels for your map. As for a compiler in Windows 7, I use QOOLE99 with no issues, I know that people don't like QOOLE for its lack of features, but it's a nice program for beginners (and I learned on it so it holds a special place).
