BUT THE MAP WONT SHOW UP!!!

lizardkid · Post by **lizardkid** » Tue Jun 15, 2004 4:23 am

checklist....

did you add light in any way?
is the bsp in the folder?

if not, make sure mbuilder has paths set correctly
is it mp? most likely... no one here makes sp anymore....

if so make sure you're using the right mode and teh bsp is n the correct folder

problem: if your map doesnt load and seems to go through a quick compile, you probably have 1 problem... your mapname has a space in it the prompt will read only the first part of the name and look for that. it wont find it and it will go through a close down process instead of compile
solution: put an underscore instead of a space!

ERROR: Max_Original_Edge

Prevents compile of the the map caused by too many small brushes with the same size, shape, and texture. It occured in one map that had over 12000 brushes, so it may be just the number of brushes in the map.

SOLUTION: Re-think your "eye candy" brushes. Replace them with larger brushes or a new texture on a single brush.

ERROR::::

I have no idea !! can anyone help?? one minute the map was working fine the next........well........nothing. The map loads and runs but is overbright with no Ambient Light changes affecting it whatsoever or suncolor changes too.

You've got too many lights affecting one surface, combine mutliple lights into one brighter one or increase the ambient lighting and remove lights. Look for an area with lots of lights and decrease the number of them...

The whole purpose of this thread is to list solutions to compile problems. Not to list problems. That one is on the first page!!!!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: MAX_MAP_LIGHTING

One light affects too many surfaces.

SOLUTION: Improve vis design by using
vis_leafgroups, hint brushes and / or areaportals.

you must make sure you have the .map file in the correct path (again).

u also say

when its done doin its thing

does that mean it compiles?
cause if it does ,it might be a case of you not being able to find where it was compiled

I looked and didn't find this one in here:

ERROR: func_rotating door::cross connected doors. Targetname = ????X?????G entity 7116480

I found that for some reason I had 3 or 4 doors on top of eachother. Erasing them cured this problem.

what about:

CM_InlineModel: Wrong Number I think it's to do with entities but im not sure.... also how can i remove an entity that was named manually and went wrong, now i cant see it

tltrude · Post by **tltrude** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 9:21 am

Open the .map file with Wordpad and fix the bad model name there. All the entities should be at the bottom of the page. The last entity added should be "Entity 1". Make a back up of the .map file first.

Actually if you get this that means that there are too many lights affecting too BIG faces, make your brushes/polys smaller and this should fix it too.
Also check your lightmap resolution, default is 32 and that can handle lightmaps on bigger brushes but as soon as you go to 8 you can not make very big ones.

WHen you load up your level and about half-way loading it you get popped back to the console with the message:

Can't find 0.tga
Couldn't load shader .... etc...

When i first got this one i thought what the hell is this, I do not use 0.tga or anything and i do not have any custom shaders.

What this actually means is that you have an error in your script.
Check for typos or anything that could be wrong.
