No origins, no areaportals, but still SV_SetBrushModel: Null

(*[SfS]*OpTeRoN) #1

I have removed every origin, areaportal textures.
But I still get the damn SV_SetBrushModel: Null error while loading my map. :banghead:

I had done extensive searching, looking at compile error descriptions, etc.
I still get this damn error.

BTW, I also had a question:
If I was to convert one of my old RTCW maps that I made to an ET map, would I have to remove every RTCW entity like a target_location entity?

i have had this error before a long time ago… try some trouble shooting… remove some brush entities that followed with the origin… the reason this could have been caused is that u either tried to apply the model2 key in an entity and its origin brush is not there…

2 Guesses why you get SV_SetBrushModel: Null:

#1. You copied brushes that uses an origin brush(like func_rotating) but u forgot to copy the origin brush with the copied brushes

#2. You made a brush, with an origin brush selected, be one of the funcs or any other that needs to use origin… and when u made that, u deleted the origin that was using that…

note: these are some good guesses that may lead to your problem, not sure if this will directly solve it or not.

In practice, yes remove all old RTCW entities just in case of problems, in theory, no the engine should ignore entities it does not know what to do with.

Is there a way to do mass entity deletion in Radiant, like find/replace textures. That would be very useful.

If not I guess I could just manually find and delete the entities in notepad.

Thanks.

Select an entity, then do SHIFT+A - it selects all entities of the same type.

Common sources of this are old RTCW TOI’s (cos they didn’t need origin values).

Make sure you don’t have a trigger with a origin texture. I once had a trigger brush accidentally textured with origin and had this error.

I asked lennyballa the other day as I had the same problem… it could be that you have a texture such as caulk that is only one unit thick, like patch mesh i think…

im workin on mine now to see if tahtts the problem
