Malformed Map File

Haven't had that one in a while...
Tried to open map2 of my mod in TB, but I had this in red:
"Malformed map file: expected token of type opening parenthesis, or closing parenthesis, but found integer number at line 178, column 65"
I opened the map file in Sublime and went to the line, but it seems perfectly normal...
"( 32 2960 -48 ) ( 32 2960 224 ) ( 320 2960 -48 ) rock 6 0 0 0 1 1"
I tried to delete the line, but the error kept coming, so I deleted the paragraph, this time the error went to another line, which has the same "rock 6 0 0 0 1 1" in its paragraph.
I'm kind of afraid deleting all the paragraphs containing that line would delete an integrate cave I had to model, and TB didn't bat an eye to this.

That Looks Like A Quake 2 Map File

Somehow the texture "rock6" from the first episode of Daikatana was changed to "rock 6". I wonder why.

Need Some Help...
All I need is some stats.
My question is what is the longest time it took you to compile a map with lighting on a modern machine?

That Depends On

Size of the map, how much detailed brushes...optimized design etc.
Anyway, about 5 or 10 minutes

Show BSP Information Ingame

Hi!
Is there a hidden console command or something else to display BSP information ingame? Like how the Map is divided, which sections etc.
Just like this picture here:

Unknown Command R_DRAWFLAT

I use darkplaces. Which Quake 1 engine do I need to use to get this to work?

Any Quake 1 Engine
Which DarkPlaces is pretty much only on paper.

This One

DP Uses Different Names

r_showsurfaces (= r_drawflat)
gl_lightmaps (= r_lightmap)

Other DP Stuff

"r_drawportals 1" shows the BSP leafs/portals
Also for finding cvars in DP:
"apropos lightmap" will list all cvars with "lightmap" in the name

Awesome, Thanks!

Is there is a quick way to align textures on different brushes in TrenchBroom? I can easily tell which ones are not aligned in-game but it's hard to tell in the editor.

Alignment
For me is easiest when I turn off texture lock. That way textures are always grid aligned.

Leaf/portals In Other Engines??
Or is it only DP?

Map Compile Error.
#16438 posted by Sgt-PieFace on 2016/05/16 05:07:28
I'm getting an error when compiling a map. I am using trenchbroom to make the map and TyrUtils to compile, with a compiler GUI. I think the compiler is losing track of the
.bsp after it converts it, but I'm not sure why. It was working one day, and the next day it was't.
Here's a link to a couple screen shots: http://imgur.com/a/P70o2
Also, I tried resinstalling TyrUtils and the GUI, but that didn't help.
Any help is appreciated!

Mixing Liquid Faces?

like water and sky/lava?
Avoid that by having a small gap between them.

Windows
Looks like it may have been a Windows issue for the above ^^
When he showed me the file, I noticed windows said some content was blocked because it came from another computer. I unblocked it and was able to compile with Quark, but it also had some errors. Very weird , but maybe he can explain better what actually stopped the errors.

Another Thing To Note Regarding Liquif Brushes

You have to avoid clipping them out to the void, compensate that by putting worldspawn brushes on/around said liquid brushes.

Mfx and daya have it; mixed contents error stops the bsp from being created and then vis says no file found. :(

Arcane Dimension Spider Jumping Through Ceiling
#16443 posted by NewHouse on 2016/05/17 15:59:00
Hello!
I made box that is 4 pixels higher and 8 wider than spider entity, but for some odd reason it jumps, stucks, then jumps, starts to slowly get through the ceiling. Like what am I doing wrong? Is there any updates or fixes for that issue*
Here is some screenshots:
