.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Hi again everyone,

Well it didn't take long for me to need help again

Ok I made a small map with 2 buildings so far one a large shed type building for storing vehicles, the other a bunk house for storing soldiers I did the patch mesh outside the buildings like Tom Trude explained in a previous post. and all compiled fairly ok.

I downloaded small sumo's monastery bot map and placed the script, bot and map pk3's in main. After trying that for a while I went back to my map added some light and a player start. when I compiled I got the error MAX_SURFACE_INFO i took the light & player back out and still got that error so i tried compiling a test map I had previously made with no errors and that gave the same MAX_SURFACE_INFO error. so I know it wasnt the map.

I made a copy of my mohaa folder from my D: drive and place the copy on my E: drive I then deleted all my custom PK3 files and told Mbuilder to use this new copy to compile from. The MAX_SURFACE_INFO has now gone. Do custom PK3 files affect the compile? if so is there a better way to get round this or do I need two versions of Mohaa 1 for mapping and the 2nd for playing?

I also get the following errors:

WARNING: Could not find 'models/static/corona_util.map' I used the static corona util for my light. I placed a static lamp covered short wire then put the static corona followed by the light entity

***ERROR****
LoadPortals: Couldn't read D:\progra~1\eagame~1\mohaa\maps\dm\testmap.prt is this because I havent done a skybox yet? I still only have 2 buildings and a bit of patch mesh between the buildings? what is the prt file?

Sorry this post goes on a bit

Many thanks - Kate

the MAX_SURFACE_INFO error means there is too much shader data, caused by too many custom pk3's.


This error: WARNING: Could not find 'models/static/corona_util.map'

can be ignored. Basically there is no file defining colision for that model. Something like that doesn't matter on a model like a corana.

error eariler? You'll need a skybox to seal off the world from the void. Everything is built in a void, but no entities should be able to see the void. If you were to look at the void, you'd see a smeared screen and it would look a bit funky...

You can make a temp folder in your desktop and put all custom pk3 there, while you're compiling and working on Radiant. After the compile is done, you can put it back.

Once again you guys have been great

Thanks for all the help - Kate

check out the compiler errors sticky .it has alot of solutions for errors like these (including this one)

tips of the day might be helpful too while ur at it
