crash


(Datrix) #1

Well, Its just my first map I maded so nothing to difficult. I made an simple duel map, I putted a alied / axis spawn in and a deathmatch camera and a skybox ect ect. So just a duel map, I compiled it whitout any errors but then I run it in ET, and when the loading bar in ET is full ET crashes. What could be the problem.

On this adress you can download the .map file of my map: www34.brinkster.com/games08/viol(1).rar

If you could look at it and maybe tell meh why it crashes or what I did wrong?

Have you set the mapcoordsmins and mapcoordsmaxs coordinates in worldspawn?


(Datrix) #3

yes I have


(nUllSkillZ) #4

Could be that you have too much pk3-files in your etmain directory.


(Datrix) #5

I already deleted a bunch cause people said that to but no still the same

it’s what nullskillz said…you have too many .pk3s. Sometimes it’s just one of them that causes a problem.
You should not map in the same installation that you play the game. Do a separate installation just for mapping. You’ll avoid this and many other problems


(Datrix) #7

so what you wanna say theres nothing wrong whit the map? Only that there are to much .pk3 ? (then I’m going to reinstall et for mapping only. Gonna try that. I will let you know something

Okay its working now, but theres one problem, I readed tut about how to make a .pk3 file of your map but I don’t get it. I got these files in my maps dir: viol.map, viol.bak, viol.prt, viol.srf and viol.bsp
But how I make now a .pk3 of this so they can put it on a serve and can play it?

Well all okay, but I made the .pk3 like everything was told, I putted a .arena @ the script map and @ the map maps I putted the .bsp , then I made a .pk3 file from it whit pakscape and thats it. But now I don’t get the map run? Heres my .pk3 file : http://www34.brinkster.com/games08/viol_1.rar
Tell meh whats wrong in here?
I don’t get it :expressionless: Normally Like it is in the link is perfect @ my thought dunnow whats wrong now .

I just noticed that my .bsp file is 99 kb and my .arena file 1
but the .pk3 file is only 19 kb :expressionless: WTF???

But if you open the .pk3 file I see the .bsp file standing :|||

Can you fix this?

I just noticed that my .bsp file is 99 kb and my .arena file 1 but the .pk3 file is only 19 kb WTF???
The files in your pk3 are compressed :wink:


(Datrix) #13

shaderman , try right click and save as.
Yes okay that they are compressed but dunnow anymore whats wrong and I’m going bit crazy. Could I contact anyone over irc or somewhere?


(nUllSkillZ) #14

Hmm, strange.
Should be working.
Have you placed the pk3-file in the etmain directory?


(Datrix) #15

yes I have but nullskillz it works @your et ?
that .pk3 file we have putted also on a real server, but it didn’t even start loading the map if we wanted to change it , but it is correct made, as you see yourself :slight_smile:
