Hi iam a german and excuse me for my bad english…but i have a problem with a Performance.

The Picture shows a crazy gunfire from. Its no normaly. Its same Effect is by a Flamethrower and a Explosion from a Grenade. My Theory is i have to many Flames( from Torches) in my map or the Q3map2 to produce this Effect. My map is a Singleplayermap and i have read to a other posting that the Q3map2 have Problems with a SP Modus. Iam very glad to find a Answer to this Problem. Thx Dr.Diode

I think it’s a shader overflow.

that my friend is a very bad and annoying bug that is very difficult to get rid of in SP. We’ve posted some extensive info on this bug over at KoS’s place (SP specific mapping), have a look in this thread

http://kos.spot.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=200

In the mean time try using the -nocollapse switch during (light?? - can’t remember which section it’s in) compile.

The problem though is this… if that doesn’t get rid of the problem you’re stuck, we’ve all had exactly the same problem and unfortunalty as a result all the SP’ers have switched back to q3map. You can waste a lot of time trying to get q3map2 to work with this, it currently won’t (or at least we haven’t figuered out what’s causing it or how to fix it…! Just speculative guessing at the moment as it’s more then a simple shader overflow which Fiesling mentioned which is easy to fix).

We’ve been figuring that there’s some odd limit/combination of settings/circumstances that make this bug appear which don’t appear to effect MP mapping as bad…

if you’re using GTK to edit the maps look in the install folder that gets put in the RtCW directory… I’ll try and dig out a copy of q3map asap for you
