If you have a monster spawning in using the point entity method set the spawnflag to 2 for silent. That will solve this issue.
When I made the entity tutorial I was unaware that that hack caused the teleport sound to play at origin 0.0.0 Hopefully this is the cause of your issue. Greetings everyone! I'm pretty new at Quake mapping and mapping in general for that matter and need help.
I'm trying to build a map for Quake Rally. It is a rough recreation of Bowser Castle 1 from Mario Kart. When compiling the map it seems to do fine but when it runs Quake (I use Qrack by the way) it plays my pc's error sound and closes Qrack. I can fix this by changing the sky brush to a different texture and getting rid of the lava. This allows the map to compile and launch. Once I get in the game though it spawns me in one of the outer walls instead of where the info_player_start is. I can walk out of the wall and fall to the floor. Once i'm on the floor I am able to walk around the bottom of the map until i hit an invisible wall or the game window turns black. I've tried all I can think of and can't get it to work properly, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. What are the coordinates of your info_player_start? Likely the entire map needs to be shifted to be inside +/-4096.
Yep that's it. Select all and move to center everything over the world's 0 0 0. Make sure you have Texture Lock on when you move it or everthing will get off.
Quake has a max positive or negative position of 4096 in any direction. I believe you can still have stuff past 4096, like distant towers or some such, it just won't be reachable. <side note> certain engines allow for larger maps if you compile with -bsp2 but I don't recommend it for beginners unless your map is truly that gobsmackingly huge. Merry Christmas ! I see that you are the author of the top notch youtube tutorials. I did not want to be more specific in my initial post. What I am attempting is to add a generic game, namely Kingpin. I again followed your setup tutorial. I was able to add a def file(which initially did not provide for a worldspawn) but by cutting and pasting other def or fgd files I overcame that problem. That does not mean the I solved the problem. I was also able to get the textures in Trenchbroom though I can't be specific as to how.
Maybe this log will help.

WARNING: RecursiveLeafFlow: recursion on leaf 550 Help please. Yes I have googled and searched through this thread and see leafs mentioned a lot but don't understand what is going on nor how to fix it. Yes I have used a LOT of func_detail_walls and func_detail_illusionaries Yes my map does have a lot of botched rotated stuff tho. Ta x Any idea how to fix or reduce the Leaf Recursion error?
Incidentally, I didn't get this error when I did a fullvis a week or two ago, when I already had almost all of the rotated stuff in place. I assume the warning message doesn't indicate the area of the map where the problem is?
Is what you've posted all the info that you have? trying to compile map with options (using ericw-tools 0.18.1):
light.exe -lmscale 4 And here results on different sourceports (latest available versions): FTE https://imgur.com/a/6mLY1mM QS https://imgur.com/a/GyzozC8 QSS https://imgur.com/a/jE0nvBA For FTE all working well. According to http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=4&start=19267&end=19267#19267 this feature supported by QSS, but actually not, or im doing something wrong? Maybe i need some additional parameters or config tweaks for QSS? And is this feature supported by QS? And one more question about ericw-light. When im using options: light.exe -extra4 -lmscale 4 it reports error: C:\projects\ericw-tools\light\trace_embree.cc:696: Q_assert(rayindex <= 32767) failed. Anyone know any workarounds for this particular options combination? Hey, I downloaded gtkradiant, made a test map, and found the bsp menu empty, so I cant compile. I then found a link to netradiant, made a testmap and tried to compile. it makes a testmap.bak file. I need a bsp file right? the hell do i do?
That's because GtKRadiant is an editor, not a compiler.
For god compiler files search for ericw compiler I tried a long time to get the compiler running under Radiant. Then I decided to use the editor for maps, and save the map to a different file with the compiler tools. Works fine now. thanks for the reply madfox. I see now in radiant when i use the compile options it writes it to qe3bsp.bat, but the syntax is all wrong so it doesnt work. I downloaded the ericw tools and did it manually. The level loads, but the textures don't. Any idea why?
Check for spaces in the pathnames to your wad. Compilers can chock on those. I recommend using Necros' Compiling GUI to simplify the process. https://shoresofnis.wordpress.com/utilities/ne_q1spcompilinggui/
I don't know why you're getting different results in qss from either of the other two engines.
what I can say, however, is that you should be using the _lmscale worldspawn/entity key instead of the -lmscale commandline arg - this will fix QuakeSpasm/others (by providing multiple sets of lightmap data in a backwards-compatible way, allowing for opportunistic upgrades). (This also allows different lightmap scales per func_detail etc, unlike the commandline arg.) When the wad file doesn't load it means the path is unclear.
You can open the *.map file with TexPad and at the beginning you see something like: "classname" "worldspawn" "message" "MyMap" "worldtype" "0" "sounds" "4" "wad" "C:/Quake/ID1/Quake101.wad" It is the wad path you should look at and make sure the wad files are in C:\Quake|ID1\... Hello, I am teleporting monsters into my map. I have made two functioning examples. They work fine. The third teleports the monster to 0, 0, 0 no matter what I try. I know the third example is set correctly because when I make a map just to test it no problems occur. Any thoughts?
There's a problem with the teleport destination. Check if the targetname is correct, if the (skill) spawnflags are correct, and if it's placed correctly (enough space, not inside geometry).
The first teleport combo was set wrong but none the less it worked. The second was a copy and paste of the first with target and targetnames changed and it worked as well. The third one was a new build with the same target and targetname scheme used previous with minor changes to indicate new events. Initially I was transported to 0, 0, 0. I saw an error and fixed it then the monster went to 0,0,0. I spent a couple hours trying various things but none of that was fruitful so I began asking for help and rereading the docs. I interpreted them differently and fixed my scheme. It now works. The reason my third scheme worked in a map with no other schemes seems to verify that one or two mistakes can be forgiven but as in life if you keep making the same mistake over and over you will pay. Thanks for the reply negke
