with bsp 5.1, is there a way to send the output to a text file for viewing?  Signaturebob brozewicz brozewicz.rf@verizon.net [home] brozewicz.rf@mellon.com [work] > with bsp 5.1, is there a way to send the output to a text file for > viewing? What part of the output is it you want to save ? Messages are printed to stdout so bsp foo.wav >bsp.out should do the trick. The BSP data itself is not in text format, so you can't view it so simply. There's a nodes viewer, NodeNav, but it's DOS only. Some years ago I looked into porting it to X and, as is often the case with interactive DOS software, it promised to require a lot of effort. ftp://3darchives.in-span.net/pub/idgames/ utils/level_edit/node_builders/nodenav.zip # The original version utils/level_edit/node_builders/nnav081.zip # The DJGPP port SignatureAndré Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. -- Noam Chomsky > > with bsp 5.1, is there a way to send the output to a text file for > > viewing? > > What part of the output is it you want to save ?

Nope, the -o serves to set the name of the output *wad*. > btw, is there a listing of errors produced by bsp and suggestions on > how to fix them. or is learn as you go?. > > Copyright (c) Rational Systems, Inc. 1990-1994 Oh, good, a compiler that inserts messages in the output of the executables it creates. > Warning: Linedef 2 has no right sidedef > > Warning: Linedef 3 has no right sidedef > > Warning: Linedef 4 has no right sidedef I don't think so, but grepping for "stderr" in the source files would give you the list. "Creating compressed blockmap... " "Error: Could not open output PWAD file " "\nWarning: Bad sidedef in linedef %d (Z_CheckHeap error)\n" "\nWarning: Linedef %d has no right sidedef\n" "\nWarning: Linedef %d is 2s but has no left sidedef\n" "Trouble in SplitDist %f,%f\n" "Trouble in SplitDist %f,%f\n" "Error: Cannot open WAD file %s" "Input was not seekable and failed to create temp file" "%s does not appear to be a wad file -- bad magic" "Unable to read wad directory entry \"%s\" in %-.8s\n" "Failure writing %-.8s\n" "Failure writing lump directory" "Failure writing wad header" "out of memory (cannot allocate %u bytes)" "out of memory (cannot reallocate %u bytes)" "Couldn't find any Vertices" "Linedef %ld has vertex out of range\n" "Trouble in GetVertexes: Renumbering\n" "Couldn't find any used Vertices" "Couldn't find any Linedefs" "Couldn't find any Sidedefs" "Couldn't find any Sectors" "Couldn't pick nodeline!" "Trouble in ComputeIntersection dx,dy" "Trouble in ComputeIntersection dx2,dy2" Most of them are pretty self-explanatory, and those that aren't probably can't be remedied by an ordinary user anyway. The error messages you got (Linedef x has no right sidedef) mean that you created a single-sided linedef (i.e. a wall) and either forgot to give it a sidedef, or put the sidedef on the wrong side. If a linedef has just one sidedef, it must be on the right (assuming you're looking at the linedef as if it was pointing away from you). x end vertex ^ left side | right side second sidedef | first sidedef (if any) | x start vertex > this is the output i get with the command listed above. i also tried > veriations of the command and i still get the same results. i just [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Saved WAD as mymapc.wad OK. The problem is that the error messages are printed to stderr, but ">" redirects only stdout. Ways around this : - If you're running Unix, bsp blah blah >/dev/null 2>bsp.out will send the error messages to bsp.out and throw away the other messages. - If you're running some Microsoft OS, you're screwed because command.com won't let you redirect stderr. You'll have to use an external program like http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/stderr/. stderr bsp -q blah blah >bsp.out SignatureAndré Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. -- Noam Chomsky |
