I cant stand it !!

[GAMER-X]

Hi...
ammm...
Im having a kinda big compiling problem here...

I am curently working on a big map... and I compile it and play it each time I finish some section on it.

So everything was fine, until I finished a section with a building and a Bomb site. I compiled the map using worldcraft + zoner's tools, opened the game, started playing - and I saw that the section I finished wasn't compiled. None. The map was as it was the last time I normally compiled it.

I dunno how to fix it. I dont want to rebuild the section all over (If I wouldnt have any choise I will...), and I dont want to abendon this map - cuz it would be the second map (out of 3 total) I'll abendon for this damn problem.

This is the compile window, maybe the error is inside and you'll tell me how to fix it . Tnx.

************ ERROR ************
Textures exceeded MAX_MAP_MIPTEX

there's your error, at least one caused from not using zoner's tools.
you said you were using zoner's but from the compile log you are not.
http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#miptex

If you downloaded zoner's tools, put them in same spot as the qtools and redirect WC(VHE) to look at them.
hlcsg
hlbsp
hlvis
hlrad
they are zoner's tools.

I dont think it helped...
I changed the compiling tools in the options menu to the zoner's tools as in your tutorial.

I try to run the game after I compile and the game just throws me out.
This is what I get when i compile:

Help !

[Slackiller]

check the set up again.

hlbsp didn't run

[GAMER-X]

Ok I got it to compile...
but now I see the whole map badly lighted - I mean - too much light, and the little light entities I put in are not shown. maybe it has to do something with this error?:

1 thread(s)
LoadPortals: couldn't read C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\cstrike\maps\de_city.prt
No vising performed.

Whats this error anyway? whats a *.prt file and how may it affect on my map?

[Slackiller]

http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#portalfile
just another compile error.
vis didnt run, so it will go into full bright mode.

[GAMER-X]

I dont get it...
I guess it is something with the Vis, but what?

Could you try to find out the error?
here is the zipped RMF file:

http://kuchi.tiptip.co.il/fileupload/store/de_city.zip

Tnx.

[Slackiller]

cant look at it right away but i'll try, also what wads are in use?

[GAMER-X]

The WADs that are in use are:
halflife.wad
cstrike.wad

and the following wich I downloaded from here:

http://blaz.csbanana.com/textures.htm

blazcity.wad
blazurban2.wad

Thanks for the help.

[Slackiller]

ok---->
Here you go
let me know when you get it so i can take link down.

[GAMER-X]

Omfg !
You are the king of CS mapping slack !

I cant belive you actually made it work...
I didnt see very much changes in the map - and its still working!

Thanks a lot!
What did you think of the map itself? does it have a good layout? style? textures? Is it good for a second map, and a first real one? should I finish it?

[Slackiller]

well it needs some work. just keep building and experimenting with different stuff. you'll get the hang of it. practice is the best teacher.

[GAMER-X]

K tnx

Its turning out pretty well ...
Also - when I make bomb-sites, do I need to put more than 1 "Target Entity" around? Or one will b enough?

B sure you'll c my map first

[Slackiller]

not sure what you mean.
if you want one bomb site place one info bomb targtet entity, want 2 place 2 of them.

[GAMER-X]

I meant that is I have Bomb site A for example, I put one info target zone in the place... but what if I want the player to be able to have the ability to plant a bomb in a larger area of the same bomb site? The info target zone has some sort of radius in wich u can plant the bomb. if I want the radius bigger, I need , say, 2 entities?



Edit:
Yei ! Level 2 ! am i the first one to get this?

[Slackiller]

no, it's one entity.
make a brush covered with the aaa trigger texture,make the brush as big as you want bombsite. then hit "to entity" button, and make it a func_bomb_target.
