Map suddenly goes fullbright when playing.

Rip

I dont even know at this point

....me neither man. Hammer makes me want to hang myself at this point..

 

[Zurby]

I keep getting this at the end of every compile using Compile Pal, but I doubt it means anything...

1. Do you have a 3D skybox?

2. Is there a space in the 3D skybox for your map to fit into?

This just means CompilePal doesn't know how to launch the game. I get the same error.

As for the map being completely black, this is just a really strange error with the Source engine, and the most reliable fix I know of is to move the entire map so that the origin (where the blue lines intersect in the 2d views) isn't anywhere inside the map.

nope, it's just a box around my whole map. (not yet proper because I'm planning to make mountains so I'm waiting to put my skybox ontop of them untill I know how im gonna do them)

 

[Zurby]

@Idolon oh okey, glad that's just not a big deal then And for moving the map, that sure is a strange way to go.. but I'll give it a shot. Frankly, I'll give anything a shot at this point..

By that you mean "ensure that coordinate (0,0,0) isn't inside a brush.".

That's not what I meant. I've heard from some people that it's a good idea to not have your map even near the origin at all. Why exactly is beyond me, but that's mostly because I've never had origin-related bugs like this.

 

[Tumby]

These people think that vvis only cuts on the blue marked lines, when really it does cuts on the blue and brown lines. That is the only thing related to "don't put map near origin" I have ever heard at least.

 

[Zurby]

just wanna say, I tried to move it away from the origin but it didn't really do anything.

I also still have the "numplanes + fakeplanes >= MAX_MAP_PLANES" error, which u said could be caused by the " FindPortalSide errors". I kinda don't understand what those errors are. :s All I know is my map won't compile anymore due to that error.

 

[Zurby]

After some googling it said the error is caused by reaching the brush limit, but I verified with some more experienced mappers that I should be no where near the limit. So it's not that..

 

[Tumby]

Can we possibly take a look at the vmf to see what is going on?

I'll send it in a pm, I already sent it to someone else too, which helped me resolve some other errors but not nearly enough ;s .
