Func_Msgboard: Mapping Help

Posted by metlslime on 2002/12/23 18:31:29

This is the place to ask about mapping problems, techniques, and bug fixing, and pretty much anything else you want to do in the level editor.

is fitzquake also the only engine that crashes?

Oops..

#539 posted by metlslime on 2003/10/12 01:42:31

i need to read more carefully.

better question: does this happen consistently?

It Happens Only On This Map.

#540 posted by necros on 2003/10/12 11:57:15

i'm looking into all the vores on the map, but i don't really see anything out of the ordinary with them.

And.

#541 posted by necros on 2003/10/12 11:58:22

it happens ALL the time. like i said, software works, but it seems all gl engines crash.
(i only tested with fq, glquake and tq) but it screws up the mouse acceleration and i stopped testing gl engines because it was pissing me off.

okay, does it happen when the map loads, or during gameplay?

Care to send me the bsp?

It Happens:

when i lauched the map from the command like with +mapname, the game loads fine, and almost right after the map's title is printed on the console, i get got a NaN velocity on monster_shalrath then the game seems to continue loading for a few more seconds then crashes to the desktop.
i'll email you the current compile.

Something Interesting...

Metl, you mentioned in your email that winquake crashes as well.

i used tronyn's winquake and it didn't crash (which is why i assumed that regular winquake would work).

so tronyn, what makes your engine so special? :)

You Probably Mean Tyranns' Winquake

& one difference is that the max edict count is increased.

Er, Yeah.

#546 posted by necros on 2003/10/13 13:15:48

sorry Tronyn.
working on the same project + having similar names = bad for necros' memory

Latest GTKRadiant 1.3.12

Has anyone got this to work for Quake editing?

I Don't Have It.

#548 posted by necros on 2003/10/17 22:09:55

but you make it sound like it's more difficult in this version. i was planning to get it a little later, so info would be appreciated...

Well

#549 posted by Abyss on 2003/10/18 00:56:32

I got it working, long story, but it will basically only run once on my machine, the next time I go to start it, it will crash with a windows error "GTKRadiant exe has caused an error.......................and will have to close bla bla bla" you know the one. And basically the only way I can run it again is by clearing the registry when the option is there, but then the second time I start it, its the same thing (Groundhog Day) It happens whether or not I load it for Quake, Quake II or Quake III, so I guess that rules out it being a prob just with trying to edit for Quake. I also tried uninstalling my previous version of GTK, but that didn't help any. So after many installs/uninstalls, I decided to go back to the previous version of GTK. Probably something on my machine it doesn't like, Oh well, I'll try again next release.

Give it a go, you may have better luck

It Works Fine On This Machine...

...except for the clipping bug and annoyances with the surface inspector.

ok, q3 mapping for people who are unfamiliar with id's tech advances since the days of q1?
do and don't, baby's first vertical atrium of death, gtkradiant for complete fuckwits, that sort of thing...

I'm asking here because I don't wanna wade through the muck searching for the juicy stuff,hook me up.

#557 posted by wrath on 2003/10/19 16:43:19

I fight int'l terrorism by not spacing my sentences. Apparently.

#558 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/10/19 17:05:34

All I can say is: Good luck. I've been mapping for Q1 using QERadiant, so I have a slight advantage, but when I recently started Q3 mapping again I couldn't find anything useful, and no one wanted to help me.
