I'm trying to use tremulous/gtkRadiant for an odd purpose (have scans of an actual small cave as a cloud of 3d points--using blender and other tools to turn this into a cloud of triangles, then making a tremulous map out of it just to 'walk around' this scanned cave).
Anyway, I've got GtkRadiant 1.5.0 installed on Ubuntu, and the Tremulous data/common files, and I've created the world's most basic room (empty square). I save this with GtkRadiant, and then B)uild, Q3Map2 Trem: (single) BSP -meta. I get an "unnamed.bsp" file! Hurrah! I copy this to my ~/.tremulous/base/maps directory.
]\map bob
Can't find map maps/bob.bsp
Groovy! Now I know what it looks like if I don't have my map in the right place. But, having scanned the forums, I know it should be in tremulous/base/maps (I think). So...
]\map unnamed
I get the "Starting Up..." screen...
Screens of bars loading terribly exciting things...
And then, the dialog of doom!
Error: RE_LoadWorldMap: maps/unnamed.bsp not found
Sad face.
Now, I'm confused at this point. I have a ~/.trem directory (which is where GtkRadiant is loading and saving things); I have a ~/.tremulous directory (which seems to be where Tremulous is looking for things) and I have a /usr/share/games/tremulous directory, which is where Ubuntu installed the data files.
Clearly Tremulous is seeing SOMETHING useful, because it's not giving the stock "can't find maps/bob.bsp" answer. But I'm not sure why it's saying this now. To try and test it, I copied unnamed.bsp into all three base/maps directories (~/.trem, ~/.tremulous, /usr/share/games/tremulous) to no avail.
Very frustrating and confusing! What incredibly obvious thing am I missing here?
