Looks like the problem is with your map file. It is way past loading the compile arguments when this error occurs. Perhaps you should post this in the q3map2 forum.

dime1622 · 2004-03-02 21:44:06 UTC

i was browsing some other sites, and they told other people that overlapping brushes may cause this, i just imported some trenches from my old map into this new map, and theyre sitting inside terrain brushes. i bet this is my problem

dime1622 · 2004-03-02 21:48:30 UTC

nope, i took out all those brushes and it still happens

chavo_one · 2004-03-02 22:25:45 UTC

I saw that post as well. The overlapping brushes solution was in reference to another problem that person was having. The were unable to come up with any solution to the ParseEPair error.

You should break the map down into smaller sections and test each section for the error. It sounds like a parameter error or something not recognised.

Use the region compile option to find the error quicker.

:moo:

Do you have any entities with very long key/value pairs? Open the map in a text editor and look at all the “” quoted sections.

dime1622 · 2004-03-03 22:46:11 UTC

lol i got this in there, have no idea how it got there, but:

// entity 0
{
“classname” “worldspawn”
“gridsize” “128 128 256”
“vertexremapshader0” “textures/bluffs/terrain_0;textures/bluffs/terrain.vertex”
"mapcoordsmins

" “-4160 4160”
“mapcoordsmaxs” “7360 -7360”

however in notepad it shows mapcoordsmins with 18 rectangle boxes (you know, the stuff you get when you have a non-ascii character) after it

i removed all those boxes and it compiled beautifully.

thanks ydnar. i humbly bow to your greatness
