Compiling Errors - List 'em and their solutions

Give the door an origin.

Read this tutorial: http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Emap/mohaa/t.php?id=24 (rotating doors)

be sure the door + origin are the same func_rotatingdoor

g/l

I did all that and it still does not work.

Hi i'm kinda new in mapping and found most off the stuff on my own and fixed errors and suddenly when upgrading my map i ran into this one

********************
ERROR: LoadTGA: Only type 2 (RGB), 3 (gray), and 10 (RGB) TGA images supported

********************

Any ideas what i have 2 do?

[bdbodger]

make sure your .tga is 24bit rgb format or 32 bit if you have an alpha channel . PSP exports as a 24bit .tga with alpha channel so it actually a 32 bit file if it has an alpha channel.

I just got a new one:

Code: Select all

************ ERROR ************
Backwards tree volume

It means there are no structural brushes in the map.

Don't ask how I got this error.

[jv_map]

^^ It's been in the list for a while

Whoops... Sorry, then... Maybe delete my post, then?

Hello aLL !
Nick : [SAS] Alvin C. YorK
I am From Hungary and I Play MOH:AA SP BT

I did a MOH:AA Movie yes a Movie Or Film With a Story and that was the First Part and it was More than Half an hour.

The Film 1st part was about The SAS Special Air Service, The Born in 1941 and ther Fail in the first mission.
The Recording was too long. Every time need 20 or 30 player who are moving and acting and lots time we make 20 second for an Hour lol:o)

I Looking for a Map Editor and Script maker how help in the second part.
If you interested plz Throw a Mail for me alvincyork@sasklan.hu
Or if you want only what the film you can download here http://www.sasklan.hu/film/film.html

LET?LT?S Mean Download -In The 1st part The Language only hungarian without Subtitles ;(

Huy all!
I made my own trailer with own wheels (now only static), textured it with opel's wheels and
when compile my map, receive error (see below):

'textures/static_opeltread' : Shader has no surface type specified!
WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/static_opeltread
'textures/static_opelhub' : Shader has no surface type specified!
WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/static_opelhub

Then i went to the opel.shader, find opeltread, static_opeltread, finally I made my own opeltread in opel.shader and opeltread.TGA . But nothing is changing.
HELP me, please.

[PKM]

post your shader for view. also list the full directory for the image.

[Guderian]

The opel.shader has next (base )parameters:

I put in my map every kind of textures of this list (opelhub, opelhub_norotate, static_opelhub), but the error only changed the names of textures, and nothing else was changing:

!#!#! 'textures/models/vehicles/opeltruck/opelhub' : Shader has no surface type specified!

That's all. If you know how to avoid this problem or had this problem and decided it - answer, please.

[no_mercy]

How about this one.

max_surface_verts

after making prt it show that message.

[no_mercy]

Well i see none of know about this maybe!
I try by my self & i find that i didn't use in my map caulk textures so my map didn't compile.
I change it so it compile & didn't show the message again

[bdbodger]

Most of these errors speak for them selves

max_surface_verts

If you try for example to make a sphere you get that I think it is just too many vertecies on a surface or touching a surface it may also be the same error you get when you make a ladder and have too many rungs touching the rails . You just have to cut the rails into several brushes to avoid that error . As for Guderian's post those errors can be ignored most of the vehicle shaders don't have a surface type . For static models you have a .map file in the static directory for the vehicles collision that is made from clip brushes such as metal clip or tank clip . Those give the correct effect and surface sounds not the models texture . For script models the model targets clip brushes that have been made into a script object such as the opel truck you select form the amimate directory I think it is in . The script object is placed under the map or out of the way and it's used for the models collision .

ALTN.SOLUTION: Be sure to close SDK before you use MBuilder to compile your map.
