com_sprintf: byte 3 overflow at start of map

(Invultrois) #1

I compiled my map and made the pk3
and when i play the map in localhost, this message started flooding the console.
com_sprintf: byte 3 overflow at start of map

And when walking around in the map, my the little person on the compass and map was facing backwards for some reason.

Never encountered this problem before, Google doesn’t help.
Any ideas? :stroggtapir:

EDIT : I found out when i open limbo or looking at the command map causes these messages.

The map is too big, the coordinates overflow the buffer. I can’t remember which exactly but I remember fixing this for etjump a long time ago. What mod are you testing this on?

(Invultrois) #3

vanilla ET, i tested on etmain.

EDIT : is the little person on the compass walking backwards problem related to the tracemap or is it just a bug?

It depends which direction you face, maybe you think you face the East but in fact you face the West?

Yeah, the problem is kinda like that. Strange because i’ve never encountered this problem before. :confused:
