Radient Entity Window - No Spawn Flags

Post by diego »

I took some time away from my map. Everything was fine last time I worked on it. But tonight I noticed that my spawn flags and key descriptions have disappeared from my entity window.

Static Objects will still show the "No Static Collision" flag and a description of the object. But all my lights and door entities have a "Not found in Source" message in the key description field. And the first 2 columns of relevant check boxes in the "spawn flags" area are blank and cannot be selected.

:oops:

Must have moved it out a few weeks ago with a bunch of user maps. It was such an obvious thing I was certain that wasn't it. I better hurry up and finish this map before I do something REALLY dumb. :)

entdefs.pk3

The entdefs.pk3 just contains a folder named "code". If you unzip the pk3 and move the code folder to mohaa/main, there will be no need to have the entdefs.pk3 in main.

The code folder has files that end with the extention ".ccp" and they are text files that have all the descriptions and options you see in the entity window. It is handy to have the code folder outside the pk3 because you can read the files without opening the editor. You can also add your own text to the descriptions of the entities. I have .ccp files set to open with Notepad.
