safe_malloc failed... and light compiling

(Zombie) #1

Hi!,

i have a weird Problem with the new version of q3map2.
This is a big outdoor-map with terrain made of brushes.

Now, i wanted to add some trees as md3 Models to the map (onle 5 or 6 for a test), an now i receive this error during light compiling(BSP and VIS are without errors):

************ ERROR ************
safe_malloc failed on allocation of 110376448 bytes
Disconnecting

I have many Gbytes of free Disk-Space and 512 MB RAM.
With an older Version of q3ma2 ( 2.3.38 ), the map compiles properly.

has anybody an idea, what is the couse of the problem?

All the terrain-groups are detail-brushes with standard textures. At the moment, there is only one SUN (in the skyboxshader) and ambient-light.

textures/skies/yavin2
{
qer_editorimage textures/skies/sky.tga
q3map_surfacelight 10
sun 1 0.9 0.8 300 315 40
surfaceparm sky
surfaceparm noimpact
surfaceparm nomarks
q3map_nolightmap
skyParms textures/skies/yavin 512 -
}

================================

the model-shader of the trees looks like this:

models/map_objects/yavin/tree08b_b
{
qer_editorimage models/map_objects/yavin/tree08b
q3map_nolightmap
q3map_onlyvertexlighting
cull disable
{
map models/map_objects/yavin/tree08b
alphaFunc GE128
rgbGen lightingDiffuse
}
}

Post your compile log please.

ok, here it is:

P.S. I have now solved this Problem with the new Beta v2.5.5 and the “-lomem” switch

BIG THX @YDNAR for Helping :smiley:

As I said in your email, you should use terrain, and not simple textured brushes for your terrain surface.

Either that or use q3map_nonplanar/q3map_shadeangle 120 style shaders for the terrain, so Q3Map2 can make a nonplanar mesh out of the terrain triangles as to not create the fabulous waste of resources that your map is currently doing… :slight_smile:

Hmm, I have the same problem- but with a small map, however it occures in the light-process.
I do use some exotic options (-fast -shade -patchshadows -bounce -bouncescale 0.1 -samples 3 -super 4)…
Too I’m running out of virtual memory in windows. I have some other apps running, but only things like chat-clients, nothing that would eat away serious memory (with 512MB RAM and a virtual memory file of 3 GB).

Anyone having the same problem?

(Zombie) #6

try the new Beta v2.5.5 and the “-lomem” switch .
It is working with my new terrain-map :smiley:

du you have a Patch-Terrains in your map, or something like this ?
maybe with Vertex-light shaders ?.
It causes the same problem with my other map.
Try to compile without “-patchshadows”-Switch.

(ydnar) #7

Well, the -super 4 bit is causing it to use 16x the memory of a normal compile.

You don’t need to use -super if you’re using -samples 3, either. The -samples switch uses an adaptive supersampling algorithm to give you -super quality resuilts in 1/3 the time.

Ok, will try- wondered already because it’s nothing more that a small room in which I test those shine-through windows (were the light is filtered by the window).
