Compiling warning, The handle in invalid.

(stebbi67) #1

Hi all.

When I compile my map I start with BSP -meta and then BSP -vis. BSP -meta runs with out any problems. BSP -vis runs fine until the very last steps when I get this Warning :

gdkdrwable-win32.c:1568: BitBlt failed The handle is invalid

The compiling continues, but is now taking very long time and is slowly eating up all memory on the computer. When the memory usage is up between 3 Gb and 4 Gb the compiling terminates ( I believe that this is in the very last stage of the BSP -vis compiling ) I close GTKRadiant and start it again, continue compiling the same map with BSP -light fast with out problems.

After all of that I can run the map with the devmap command.

I have googled this warning and searched here but no luck.

Any ideas what might be wrong or where I can get some information about this warning.

I’m using GTKRadiant 1.4 on Windows XP.

Could be an idea to upgrade to GTKRadiant 1.5, I’m just comfy with GTKRadiant 1.4

Thanks.

Try using a compiler frontend like “Q3Map2Build”. It is usually faster and uses much less memory. You also have way more options.

Not sure if it was Q3Map2Build or Q3MapBuild… :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t know if it will fix the problem but it might… It’s worth the try :wink:

Thats an error from radiant, not q3map2. If it continues working, I’d just ignore it :wink:

Thanks, I’m relay thankful for any respond.

The problem is that now the warning is filling up the log, the compiling goes on for hours and hours and it just continues until the computer runs out of memory :uhoh:
