Compiling Errors - List 'em and their solutions

[omniscient]

shoudlnt eb too hard to find an EXTREMELY long brush lol, if its long enough for an erros whouldnt be too hard. and yes it does tell you in the compile error window.

[tltrude]

A "mirrored plane" should be two brushes occupying the same space with the same texture. That happens sometimes when you use "undo" a lot. You can see them when you highlight a brush twice and the red tint gets brighter instead of going away.

************ ERROR ************
num_entities == MAX_MAP_ENTITIES

C:\MOHAA\main\maps>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

I did a search for that error and got only one post by my man mohrox (and it duz) and he got no answer, this is why I have popped it in here.

If anything it has too many pathnodes, but I was under the impression they didnt count??

Thanks for any help

[bdbodger]

could that be like the max_surface_info error that you get when you have too many shaders in the main directory maybe you have too many custom ai's or models defined in your main directory ?

[small_sumo]

It turned out to be too many pathnodes, took me hours to remove them. I just populated it way too heavily doe.

[Vampir]

Yes cant have too many ents!

[Bjarne BZR]

It turned out to be too many pathnodes, took me hours to remove them. I just populated it way too heavily doe.

Let me guess... you set the grid to 128 and snapped out pathnodes at every snap? Thats what I did...

*** CM_AdjustAreaPortalState: negative reference count ERROR ***
I got this error while manipulating areaportals in the upper and lower doors of a 2 stop elevator, its more an execution error than a compiling error: areaportal open/close result in this console text:

Code: Select all

CM_AdjustAreaPortalState: negative reference count

The portals worked the first 2-3 times I closed/opened them... but then there were more of these errors and they failed ( = I saw the void through them ).

*** PROBLEM ***
I open and close them manually from the script ( the areaportals are inside the upper and lower doors of an elevator ) whith code like this:

Code: Select all

// open
$liftdoor_upright openportal
// and close
$liftdoor_downright closeportal

The reason for this is that the portals did not work automatically even if the doors were func_door objects that I controlled from the elevator triggers (move/call buttons) by executing

Code: Select all

$a_door doopen

on them.

The combination of controlling doors with doopen/doclose and areaportals with openportal/closeportal was the prob...

The doopen/doclose commands do work as expected on door movement, but it seems to tell the areaportal half the story: telling them to play used, but dont actually close/open. Because of this: when you execute the openportal/closeportal commands you get some form of overflow after a while.

*** SOLUTION ***
Don't use func_door's, make the doors script_object's and control the movement and sound yourself, this way you get the expected results from your doopen/doclose commands.

On the Mohaa Console I get this: "FS_ReadFile with empty name"

It was working fine tell I started to pick up my trash in my main mohaa folder, LOL...

I know it was something I did...

Anyhelp would be cool

Also, ty for all the help who ever has helped me.
This site is really for info on this new hobby for me



And I don't know if I'm spaming for putting this up, but here is what my MOHAA Console did:

Chec to see if you added an info_ammobox_mg to your map.
If so remove and try.

AS U ALL CAN SEE IT WONT FINISHING LOAD PRT file. I have checked the map over and over again, and no leak. i dont get the lin file eiter. Can somone help me out here. If there is a leak how do i find it out..

[M&M]

this topic should be locked, cleaned and then updated only by moderators.

Once a good idea, this now becomes a place you won't search for compile errors because of too many off-topic posts, discussions about maybe-compile-errors and so on.

it makes no sense to tell about a error HERE, if no solution can be presented.

i agree totally ,some1 clean this up .its getting 2 long and its not becoming a helpful thread .i suggest instead of locking this up and cleaning it,make a new post that is locked (only accessed by moderators) and move all the good and useful stuff there,and it should always be kept locked and maintained by a moderator.and leave this one open so we can still post about problems if they arent solved in the "new post about compiling errors"thread

anyways.my error,

************ ERROR ************

Q3MAP Version 1.34

After this do you get a whole list of parameters? Like:
-info - get information about the map
-light - get taunted
-vis - perform vising on the map
and so on?

its the same as this one,but i have the paths perfectly right,although everytime i load mohradient it gives an error(something about wrong paths) and asks me 2 give the paths of the game and mapspath ....etc,and everytime i write them correctly or copy past them but it just keeps appearing (the 2nd error)everytime i load mohradient ,and gives the error above each time i try 2 compile from mohradient

ERROR: WARNING: SurfIsOffscreen called on non-bmodel!

This is printed in the console a million times when facing ceirtain directions while running the compiled map

SOLUTION: As the error gave no clue as to WHERE the error was: I walked around in the map, stopping at about 5 distinct points. From these points I slowly turned the player while looking at the console... at the exact angle where the error started pumping into the console: I took a screenshot... then I turned the other way around and did the same the other way.

After getting the triangulations from these placec: I returned to Radiant, drew a brush around all of the map and started Clipping the brush in accordance with the triangulation screenshots... when I was done I had a brush that almost exactly encased a single patch-mesh that made up the floor in the tobaconist:s shop in the Canal.

I deleted it and re-made it... Problem gone!
