Func_Msgboard: Mapping Help

This is the place to ask about mapping problems, techniques, and bug fixing, and pretty much anything else you want to do in the level editor.

Limit Range

#18757 posted by madfox on 2017/08/03 03:46:52

It has been an older subject, but what can I do to make my Terminator (867verts/1968tris) model load into Fitzquake085?
Quakespasm plays it fine.

It had something to do with the cache memory for models getting to the limits.
Should I just delete subjects from the base file?

#18758 posted by Baker on 2017/08/03 04:36:49

Does it do an error message?

#18759 posted by HexenMapper on 2017/08/03 05:27:40

Great thanks guys, that should fix it :)

Message : is there a way to do multiple lines in vanilla? longer messages get cut off.

Yes! You Are In Luck.

See screenies - self explanatory. \n == new line

"message" "Hello,\nworld.\nAnd a third line."

The last time I had something similar was with another model.
What I can remember was, that if a model passes the 1000verts/2000tris, it won't be imported into Quake.
So I think I passed these limit again, although slightly. (817v/1968t)

When deleting parts, this count will lower. But it will also damage the solid statement.

Amazing

cheers, saved my bacon

#18765 posted by HexenMapper on 2017/08/03 15:23:28

well I tried the \n but I'm still getting a clipped message and no new line...

...are you using TB2 RC4? According to ericw earlier versions had a problem with this. Also are you using Darkplaces? What compiler are you using? All of these thing could cause an issue.

Search for this post in Mapping Help and read on a few lines down: #18654

I'm using TB2 RC3, but I'll get RC4 tonight.
Using the usual tyrutils to compile and running on a fairly recent quakespasm

That should fix it.

Works Perfectly

#18770 posted by HexenMapper on 2017/08/04 10:18:05

Upgraded to TB2 RC4. when I went into the entity with the message, the \n had been changed to \\n. Changed it to \n and works perfectly. Woo!

Spawnflags 64

#18771 posted by negke on 2017/08/04 11:16:45

Did chapters have the delayed monster spawning that's in Quoth? Or is there some usable QC available for that (not zer)?

Code!

The fact that I'm linking archive.org tells me I should repost this on my blog! But I'm lazy as shit right now so just use the archived copy instead!

Bonus Content!

#18773 posted by Preach on 2017/08/04 23:42:44

There's an issue in the code in the tutorial which I fix when I repost it. Where I do self.model = ""; you should do self.modelindex = 0. Otherwise the monster counts towards the signon buffer unnecessarily!

ERROR: "Local Map Differs From Server"

#18776 posted by quakeulf on 2017/08/05 14:56:55

So I was mappening for the 2 of Quake and suddenly BAM SMACK OUT OF NOWHERE this error message comes and makes it impossible for me to open my map.

I have no idea what I have done wrong. I have recompiled several times and deleted associated files to try to circumvent it, but nothing has helped so far.

It Works If I Change The Name

#18777 posted by quakeulf on 2017/08/05 15:03:50

Changing the map name from "tech1" to "tech" worked.

Weird workaround and I have no idea how to fix it or why this works.

Glass And See Through Grates

#18778 posted by Ilpadrino on 2017/08/05 15:26:31

How would one make glass or grates in trenchbroom? I have seen some in maps just curious how it is done.

Upon Further Investigation...

#18779 posted by quakeulf on 2017/08/05 15:52:58

"ERROR: Local map version differs from server"

is an error in the newest version of the Quake 2 Pro-client only so far. No issues in v3.24 or vaniller so far.

For grates, you can use textures with alpha channel, commonly referred to as fence textures. Not sure about glass. You should study maps that use the things you wanna do.

#18781 posted by ericw on 2017/08/05 17:15:17

for glass, you add the brushes to a func_wall entity and set the key "_alpha" "0.5" (or adjust as needed)
