6.1 Compiling Maps
When you have finished editing a map, you’ll want to run it with Ca3DE. The engine
however requires that the map is in a precomputed form, and this section describes how
you turn your map into a fully precomputed world file.
6.1.1 Compiling step 1: CaBSP
This program takes a map file in cmap file format and creates a Ca3DE world file from
it. Example:
C:\Ca3DE-MDK\Ca3D-Engine> CaBSP Games/DeathMatch/Maps/MyMap.cmap
Games/DeathMatch/Worlds/MyMap.cw
WARNING: The specified destination file (Games/DeathMatch/Worlds/MyMap.cw in the
above example) gets overwritten without prior notice! This is also true for mis-spelt
file names. For example, if you type Games/DeathMatch/Maps/MyMap.map instead of
Games/DeathMatch/Worlds/MyMap.cw – catastrophe! As with most other computer
software, in order to prevent a disaster, please backup your files before you begin!
