load a quake 3 map different from tutorial 2

[Guest]

i have download from internet different quake 3 map, but when i load in the engine is all grey. Are the map corrupted ? While with the map of tutorial 2 is all ok.

check the console window (behind the app you run) for any errors. My guess is that it's not finding the necesary media in the path you specified.

Did you try the map in Quake3 prior to importing it? It might also not be working in Quake.

but check the console first.

the console window say: could not find mesh...
what is a mesh ? in the package that i have downloaded there is only a file .pk3

video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
scene::ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Xanto\\Desktop\\warhorse\\Q3clans\\map-pdmq3duel5-BETA2.pk3");


scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh(i don't know what write in this point);

the mesh ib this case is the bsp file.

Code: Select all

device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("./data/irrlicht.pk3");
	
	scene::IAnimatedMesh* level = 0;
	level = smgr->getMesh("irrlicht.bsp");

this bsp must comply to the Quake 3 folder structure to be loaded properly.
