[SOLVED] Client/server crashes on map load :(

Hello!

Thank you for your help, anyone who might be able to answer this <3

I recently started mapping and had a little issue resolved yesterday.
Now that that's resolved, another's popped up.

The issue with the map is simply that it crashes client and server, and doesn't leave anything in the log.
Loading it up on a dedicated server, I managed to get it to run once without crashing.

Not sure if this is important but I was able to join it with a friend, and the server console was spammed with a lot of something along the lines of "out of range value.... *something something* eye angle."

Touching any surface at all, even the ground, in game also makes the camera go weird and it forces the camera to look in other ways.

Now though, both server and client are unable to load up the map.

I have attached the vmf file below, and here's the compile log:

The log above mentioned only one possible error I see, which is the cubemap thing, but it shouldn't affect it...right?

The only issue there is says, "There is no player start", however there are already info_player_teamspawn, so I don't need info_player_start, right?

The "There is no player start" can be ignored for TF2. I'm not sure what is the problem, and the best thing may be to just restart if no one else can help you out. Gradually adding stuff until wither you've gotten back to the same point, or you run into the problem again, as then you'll know what thing caused the problem.

Are you messing around with parenting info_observer_points or using point_viewcontrol by any chance?

When you run the dedi server, before loading the map enable developer 2 in server console so all I/O is spit out as well as debug messages. Then do con_logfile logname.txt in the server console to lg console output to a file so you can check it later.

It's possible you have an infinite logic loop and it's *freezing* the server or client because its doing the same thing over and over again. If that's the case you'll see the I/O spammed in server console constantly but it won't be logged to file because of the fact it's frozen.

If you haven't done so you can also install Accelerator on the server to catch crash logs.

I won't be free these few days to try and fiddle around with it, but I'll revert back here when I do (hopefully with good news).

I have however used info_observer_points, I think 2 of them if i'm not wrong.
I simply put them down and did nothing else, might that be a problem?

No, they should work fine on their own.

Do you have:

1. two sloped roofs (or similar) that are mitred together on a 45 degree angle
2. have you selected both and THEN made them a func_detail?
3. is that roof next to other large walls?

this will cause a crash as the engine doesn't know how to put it together and do the lighting at the same time

It's a weird one to be sure - the above.

Use your cordon tools, start sectioning off sections of the map and compile (don't need full vis or rad) then run map find what parts work and what parts don't then start to decrease the box until you find the area causing the crash - then fix them item inside and do it all over again.

Also check your compile log over at interlopers - error checker to see if that also helps < I'd do this one first.

You can also compile in stages i.e. just do the world geometry, then add in displacements, then func_details, etc

I've got new ideas for the map, so I'll leave the original one alone for now and recreate whatever I may need to in the new one.

Should such issues arise again I'll revert back here again :)

Thanks everyone for your help so far!

Hi all :)
I've found the issue by chance, as it happened to this new map I worked on.

It's got to do with "Display Game Title" in Map Properties.
Enabling it somehow causes the map to crash, no idea why or how, but it does. *shrug*
