Map Troubles

[Pc_Madness]

Load the point file and see where the leak is? Map -> Load Pointfile in the menus.

 

[Psy]

If you don't have enough areaportals to seal off an area then they will cause a leak. You can read my tutorial here to gain a better understanding of how they work.

 

[Baraleth]

Well before this problem never happened. I didn't change any area portals and when I go load point file, it just points from one of those office chairs through a roof into the void. It doesn't even branch or nothing. And I've checked that entire area and there are no leaks in that area. I've even tried moving the map into a new one but that didn't work either.

 

[Psy]

Then post the compile log.

 

[grazr]

You may think you didn't touch any areaportals but what you probably did was change some of the geometry around an areaportal. That's usually how i wind up getting that compile error.

Here is the compile log.

Well I solved the problem. I remembered that I had tested an earlier version on another computer in my house, so I just copied that map over and decompiled it. Then I placed in the edits that I did and it works.

 

[Baraleth]

How do I solve these problems.

Description:
Usually preceded by some coordinates, the best explanation I can give at the moment is that this is caused by certain models (a b0rked subpart). In particular the "/wasteland/InteriorFence002d.mdl"-model. I've also heard small panes of glass and some other (even self-made) models can cause this error to occur. This error can also be caused by bad displacements. If it is displacements they may fail to collide with vehicles and physics objects on the triangles that are causing a problem. Parts of the displacement may still work others may not.

Solution:
You can look for ages to find the model causing the problem, after hiding all your models first and see if that is causing your problem. Once found, you can decide to reconstruct that model, there doesn't seem to be a real error in the model itself though. In other words, leave it be, it won't hurt you. Unless you bite first! I haven't seen any bad effects caused by this error ingame. The displacement problem as of right now has only 1 solution and it is to delete the displacement.

As from the Interlopers error page (http://www.interlopers.net/index.php?page=errors).


Your map will run fine with the error btw

 

[Baraleth]

How do you get the lightning_striker particle from the swamp theme to work?

 

[Baraleth]

I'm having cubemap problems. I've compiled a map in HDR and built the cubemaps on my computer. But when I transfer it over to another computer, none of the cubemaps are built. I've tried everything and I've looked all over the VDC but nothing seems to work. So what am I doing wrong?

 

[tyler]

Are you changing the filename?

 

[Baraleth]

no the file name is staying the same

 

[absurdistof]

Holy crap you have an overlay touching 138 faces?! Did you carve or something!? Tried to make displacements with brushwork!?


EDIT: Oshi-- did not see this was 9 pages long my bad

 

[Baraleth]

lol

 

[Baraleth]

Is there a way to pack the built cubemaps with pakrat or anyother map packing tool?

 

[YM]

Built cubemaps are packed into the map automatically. If they're built, they're in the .bsp.

 

[Baraleth]

I fixed the problem. Thanks guys
