COMPILE ERRORS

Compiler Setup: No Spaces in Path -- !

WorldCraft respects long pathnames -- but compilers like QBSP2, VIS, and QRAD convert pathnames to short (8.3) form. When you compile, the discrepancy can crash the run. DON'T USE A PATH WITH A SPACE -- e.g., DON'T USE "PROGRAM FILES". (Examine the Process window. Compare the Compiler parameters with the Copy File parameters.)

 

 

Error: host_error backward mins/maxs

"It means that the mins and maxs ( the bounding box ) for the sequence is "reversed" (one of the mins is bigger than the maxs). This happens when anything calls SET_SIZE with bad extents. If you compiling your own code, you can wrap the setsize() calls and check it yourself, but that's probably not a simple answer."
