compile status

[echo_rancid]

Here is my compile screen...I was just wondering if someone could point out things I need to fix...there is a lot of warnings, many I have no clue about...I read most of the compile errors awhile ago but Ill check them out again soon. I just want to understand these errors. If its a pain in the arse don;t worry about it but if you hve time to help I will greatly appreciate it.

there are brushes with faces textures that don't go together. if one face has a fence with a texture (like grates) the other faces must be fence textures or nodraw as well

there are brushes using 'notexture' try to find and replace notexture by e.g. common/caulk

Is this a custom shader?! u seem to have forgotten a line like 'surfaceparm stone', but we'd need to see it to know

these look strange but then maybe it's okay for Spearhead?! Or same reason as above?

[tltrude]

OK, first make sure there are no non_original pk3s in main or mainta. These errors are cause by using more than one texture with nodraw texture.

To fix them, go to edit > Find Entity/Brush and type in the brush number of each to find the brushes. Then texture them with nodraw and only one other texture. You can always make frame brushes if needed.

This next error may be form some other pk3s in main or mainta, but if not you'll have to find the shader for 'textures/notexture' and 'textures/unnamedmap_ddt/brick' and give the brick one surfaceparm stone. It should be in your"scripts" folder. Delete the notexture one.

Next is the leaked warning.

This means you have a leak in your skybox and it need to be closed. It is causing the vis compile to fail, and the radiosity lighting to be skipped.

Hope that helps.

[blmeanie]

Did you figure out this part of your error :

"LoadPortals: couldn't read C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\mainta\maps\storm_on_revi
.prt "

I am getting a similar message on mine.

[tltrude]

reading C:\PROGRA~\EAGAME~\MOHAA\mainta\maps\storm_on_revin.bsp
vis_derived = 0

It could not find that file because the vis compile failed before it could make that file. The vis compile failed because he had a leak into the void. But, having too much vis data (2.9Mb is max) can cause it to fail too.

[echo_rancid]

Alright I have another compile problem. Not an error but something that has I believe has not been in the compile before. First I have it set on -fast for vis. Now after it compiles vis this pops up:

creating vis leaf...
after about 10 minutes an error comes up about the q3map.exe encountering an error. The command window doesnt close but goes to Initial lighting and then starts to compile from there. Does anyone know what is going on here.

I havent checked if my bsp and vis are working yet but I just thought I would throw this out here until I get to that.

Thanks, Ill let you know if I figure it out.

[tltrude]

Using -fast means it wont show all of what it is doing. It can not do the vis leafs if a bsp file was not made in the first (bsp) compile. Try doing the compile again with a log for both the bsp and vis stages. It should print why it is failing to compile vis.

[echo_rancid]

I dont understand this error, the vis compiled and so did the bsp...I can load the map without it crashing and all changes are visable.

The vis Increased by 1,000 kb but mayne that is normal. So pretty much everything is fine but there was an error. I don't know. . Ill try that Tom and see what happens, thanks alot.

[tltrude]

Did it make a .lin file? If it did then there is a leak in the skybox and you can hit File > pointfile to see it.

[echo_rancid]

Nope it made no .lin file. I did do a pointfile and it does show up, there is a redline running all over the map but there is no leak indicated in the compile(mbuilder). The map loads fine and everything looks good, maybe it is nothing or has something to do with my computer, right now im using a laptop maybe I have a memory problem...My desktop comes in a couple of days , and then Ill try it on there and transfer everything to that.

**********************
******* leaked *******
**********************

are u sure there is no leaked message in mbuilder ????

anyways try following the leak line (s) and block them
leaks can be blocked by adding structural brushes ONLY ,no lod ,or meshes or detail brushes .

[echo_rancid]

I no longer get the ******Leak******, but I still get an error, a pop-up error like the ones you get in radient...but then the compile continues and everything is fine.

The thing that creates the error is the creating vis leaf...that takes about ten minutes, then error pops up...what is that? I have it on fast and I never had this as part of the compile before.

[crunch]

I am not sure about the vis_leaf error, unless you have targeting leafs overlapping by accident.

But the hash mismatch error (which could be ignored if you choose) is caused by either patch meshes and/or primitives that are very close to each other, but that don't line up to one another on the grid.

Usually it is when you have a long thin primitive (such as telephone wires) that are not aligned to each other. Just start them on the same plane where they meet and you should be ok.

[blue60007]

Try running the VIS stage with -v > C:\vislog.txt and then copy the file: C:\vislog.txt here. The actual "Creating vis leafs" is not a problem, but like cruch said it could be overlapping vis_leafgroup's

[echo_rancid]

I didnt manually put any vis leaf groups in my map.

I tryed that blue and it made a empty log ?

Im stumped but i know one thing, my laptop slows down alot during this compile and especially during that certain time when its creating vis leafs...
