G_FindConfigStringindex: overflow

[PasaKuningas]

Hey,

I already used the search function and found one unresolved problem that did not satisfy my needs, so I made new topic for it (Hope it’s OK.)

Anyway, can anyone point out what that might mean? “G_FindConfigStringIndex: overflow”
I got that error after I made system that remaps 9 shaders in different script-blocks (remapshader, remapshaderflush).

One of those blocks look like this. (Well all of them, different names.)

func_invisible_user is connected to target_script_trigger

find_e2 { //Scriptname in target_script_trigger
	trigger find_e2_trigger { // target in target_script_trigger
		remapshader textures/dist_pathfinder/s_e2_att textures/dist_pathfinder/s_e2_b_att
		remapshaderflush
		wait 4000
		remapshader textures/dist_pathfinder/s_e2_att textures/dist_pathfinder/s_e2_att
		remapshaderflush
	}
}

So essentially what it does is turns light on for 4 seconds and then turns it off again.
When I remove one of those 9 script-blocks then the error disappears and system works fine. Which I think means I exceed some kind of limit. (Not because of faulty code.)

So, if anyone got some insight to this problem I would appreciate it.

One alternative to this problem would be brush-swapping (swapping brush with “light off” texture with brush with “light on” texture.) but that method is kind of sucky if you ask me.

Regards,
Pasa.

Meh, found out the limit is 16 flushes (remapshaderflush) total.
Oh well, got to figure out something else.

Instead of the old question, can someone tell me, is it possible to add animation (texture animation/swapping in this case.) in MilkShape without using bones?

Not really in MilkShape, but you can modify how the model looks like ingame by using shaders.

Maybe this is also of interest:

And scroll down to animMap:

Another variant you can maybe use, is to rotate the model, and by rotation showing a different part of the model… well kinda complicated depending on what you want to achieve.

About remapshader, as far as I know there is a limit on remapshader (because if a new client joins in, he gets that remapshader configuration sent over inet - thus its very restricted), but you can flush it certainly more then 16 times.
