If ya got bats on Skycastle, ye did not install the map updates proper, or you have one of those odd foreign windows systems that doesn't like HLCSG/RIPENT, and thus it crapped out.

Ya can check your MSC/maps folder for "map_update.log" - and open it with notepad - it may give you a clue as to what went wrong. If it ain't there - then it was never installed. (Be sure to read the readme.txt in the zip).

Map updates are seperate from the beta package as only server hosts need em. The ripent installer is due to the fact that the map updates come to 18MB, if we just distribute the BSP's.

...and other than stretching the forum out and making my text impossible to read, that pic ain't helpin' none.

I dunno if you do not have admin access, or something similar is preventing Ripent from going, but somethin's stopping it.

*sigh* I'll have to put together another 18MB map update package tomorrow. I dunno wtf this thing is rejecting some systems - mean's you can't compile maps either.

Just the batch - the batch uses ripent.exe and the hlcsg.exe.

Do me a favor, and try installing these:

I'm thinking maybe it's an XP service pack 1 thing or something - maybe some older versions of XP don't have the required VS libraries.

If that's not it, just post up again, and I'll go rip my eyes out and setup that compiled upload.

D'oh - for some reason I thought I had those in installer form...

Drop those in your maps folder with the rest of the crap. If that doesn't work, add them to windows/system32. And if that doesn't work - we'll go back to that bit where I rip my eyes out.

*sigh*

If anyone can tell me why HLSCG and Ripent don't work on Biorage's system, it would be very useful!!!!


Meanwhile... I'm going to tear out my eyes... brb.

Uploading now... As an added bonus, you'll be the first to have ms_snow with frozen water.

If you REALLY want to do me a favor, try installing THIS, and take another shot at it, while you wait:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... 0b62a191ee

Hmm... even that may not work...

EDIT:

You aren't by chance running XP service pack 1 still are you?

That *maybe* it, but tis my last theory: SP1 dun like C++ 2005.

In anycase, uploading is done, eyes are ripped out... Thank god for speech recognition...

That's 20MB

If people who CAN get this to work proper want that same update
for only 165K
You can get at the usual place:
http://www.thothie.com/ms/msc_map_updates1.zip
Remember to clear your internet cache if you downloaded that recently.
