.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Really JV, how do I do that? The texture looks like the night sky [check the link at the top of this thread and see what you think], but how do I fix it through say notepad?

Generally notepad is a dangerous program to use, although it can be done. I'd advise a more advanced text editor though. At least make a copy of your original map file first.

Then, search for 'sky'. You'll find a number of matches. As soon as you find a texture that differs from the others, you've located your phantom brush. Just remove the entire brush from the .map file and you should be fine.

Any suggestions on an app to use [and why is notepad dangerous]?

Thanks for your help.

JV YOU HAVE DONE IT

I have found the rogue brushes and there are loads of them, but I have no idea how they got there [the brush was sky/africanight].

I will delete the brushes and recompile.

You may have just saved my first map!!

And saved it is

The brush entered my map due to the one and only prefab I have [a barrier]. The handle on this barrier had the rogue sky texture in it, and this is why I could understand where it had come from.

Many many thanks jv_map [and all the other who helped].

notepad is evil? your crazy. I have always used notepad, and it works just fine and dandy. I can see how other notepad progz could be more usefull with extra features, but notepad doesnt actually cause any problems does it?

Notepad uses a poor text encoding system, placing linebreaks everywhere.

Also it tends to randomly switch on word-wrap and older versions can't:

1. Open large files.
2. Find and Replace

Even the newest versions of notepad have bugs and can't find a string of more than one word.

Crap I'd say.

How about Wordpad? Will that work?

Try EditPlus. Thats what I use, though it's not totaly free of cource. but good.
