The id q3asm generated .map files by default. ioq3's q3asm requires the use of the -m argument to generate .map files. However, this is not mentioned in the online help for q3asm:
************ ERROR ************
Usage: q3asm [OPTION]... [FILES]...
Assemble LCC bytecode assembly to Q3VM bytecode.
-o OUTPUT Write assembled output to file OUTPUT.qvm
-f LISTFILE Read options and list of files to assemble from LISTFILE.q3as
m
-b BUCKETS Set symbol hash table to BUCKETS buckets
-v Verbose compilation report
-vq3 Produce a qvm file compatible with Q3 1.32b
-h --help -? Show this help
It would probably be trivial to add an extra line to that help screen/message, but stink at making diffs right now so I figure I'd bring it to someone's attention so they can spend the 30 seconds to fix it, heh.
I know that ioq3's makefile will generate qvms, but the -m option should still be documented.
I tested the compile under mingw, seems to work fine. I also moved the rest of the help message over to the left a bit; on an 80 column display, the message wrapped poorly.
If this doesn't work, I'll just attach the entire file. I tried creating unified diffs and patches but it basically rewrote two entire copies of the q3asm.c file and I don't think that's the kind of diff/patch that is wanted. Heck, I tried 3 different programs to make this; tortoisesvn, winmerge, and finally examdiff. Almost desperate enough to use linux in a VM!

jesus, have I finally learned how to make a patch correctly?
Ok, hey, I think I finally figured this out. Patch for q3asm.c which should fix up the help display.

fixed relative paths
thanks to kevlarman for educating me on where I should be running diffs and making patches (trunk root and not in the file's directory), this should be the last of these from me on this bug!
