new problem

in the editor you have a tab that says console, textures entity and so on....
well mine (the tab)that says console is missing anyone know how to fix?

kropcke@Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2005 5:14 pm :

Hey all.

Odd bug here...

For some reason, it started out of nowhere - at least that seems to be the case. It's now happening on my machine, as well as other machines in the nearby computer lab which have different specs.

I can no longer cap a bevel or an endcap. Doom3 crashes once I apply one.

Was working fine - now it crashes...and crashes consistently.

Tried using different textures applied to the patch - crash.
Tried saving map with endcap, restarting machine, and then cap - crash.
Tried caps/inverted caps - crash.
Tried on multiple machines (here and lab) - was working, now crashes.

Is so odd.

Any others find a similar problem, or hopefully a work-around?

Thanx much!

Well, I sort of came up with a fix anyway...not too good, but it works all the same.

From searching a little, I found a few others having a similar problem. Their work-around was to:

1. create the brush
2. turn it into an endcap/bevel
3. DO NOT SCALE OR TRANSLATE IT
4. cap immediately!!!!!!!!!
5. then rotate, flip, scale at your will

----------------------

You will notice that the mesh is probably not quite set to the proportions you desire...however...a couple of things to note:

1. rotating and flipping working just fine
2. if you want to start scaling your capped mesh, follow these steps:

This is our currrent endcap (patch) with a cap.
But we want to scale it a little.

Scaling perpendicular to the curve works just fine.

Scaling parallel to the curve will deform your cap.

So...if you do in fact need to scale your patch parallel to the curve, deselect the caps first. Scale. Then move your caps into place manually.

----------------------

If anyone has a better work-around, please let me know - I would greatly appreciate it

All in all, it's just a few extra steps - so no biggie.

Thanx be to the boards!!!

Its because your using a dual core processor and an ATI x1000 series card. Turning off the catalyst A.I in the control center will sort the problem out.
You have to use ATI's catalyst though, if you use ATI tool tray ( what ever its called ) it doesnt seem to turn the A.I off properly.

Ok, here's a new one:

I was trying to attach a func_cameraview to a monster and have the monster follow an attack path.

Well, worked fine in my test map, but wouldn't do anything in my map that I wanted it in. I spend 2 hours trying to figure out whats wrong, I even copy and past the enemy, camera, attackpaths, trigger, and script from the working map into the non working map, and it still doesn't work.

When I was doing this I copy and pasted the imp I used in the test map, and when I pasted him all the flip and rotate controls went crazy.

Now no matter what button I press, whatever I have selected turns to the right instantly.

So now I can't rotate or flip stuff.

Any idea what caused this?

I'm going to reinstall now, I've tried different maps and restarting my computer but my flip and rotate controls still instantly moved stuff to the right and then wouldn't do anything.

3'd reinstall in two days...

@eddy - if you are returned to the menu after attempting to load your map, open the console and see if an error was listed. The cause could be anything from a leak to entity errors, so a specific error message would be helpful.

When I import QuArK Brush Primitives for Quake into the Doom 3 Editor, they don't get converted all the way, and give strange errors in other editors. Don't know about Doom 3 Editor, since I don't use it. To fix the errors, I have to copy and paste one brush at a time into another editor, and save in between each pasted brush. It goes faster if I comment out the assertions in the other editor's sourcecode.

DudeMiester@Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2004 7:26 pm :

Ok first bug yeay!

Anyhow, the doom 3 editor will not work with antialiasing turned on, so in order to get around this problem for now add the command +set r_multiSamples 0 to your editor shortcut.

Furthermore, using a driver override to force antialiasing doesn't cause any problems with the editor, so this bug must lie within Doom 3 and not your video drivers.

This error is independant from system specifications, as other people have reported it, so I won't bother listing my system.

Have you tried to clone it? If not, select the model that is screwed (the box that you don't like) and hit "space". This command clone all selected objects. So, now it has cloned your box, but the new one should show the right model. Delete your old ugly box, and continue mapping..

GTKRadiant and DoomEdit (or quake radinat version gazillion.03) are different development branches. While Ttimo is or was with id software, he still develops GTKRadiant outside the company.

So it might look like a degrade from GTK but you have to look at it as an upgrade to radiant.202 (version?).

Being an entity is a boolean state of mind in DoomEdit.
I haven't found an option to change a "entityfied" brush back to world and forth to a new entity.

I can only enter the game from the editor one time, it doesn't matter if I use the F2 button or click the Doom 3 button, it only works one time, then I have to exit the editor and manually start D3 to test my map. When I go back in the editor, it works again, but yeah, one time only.

m4rine@Posted: Sat Aug 07, 2004 2:20 am :

try not exiting your game once you tested your map, just alt tab out and the doom window goes away.

I got a bug, Im not sure if this is an engine bug or an editor bug, but creating 2 info_player_start's and deleting the first, leaving the second one named 'info_player_start_1' by default will give you the 'too many info_player_starts' error when you try to run the map. Seems like the engine just checks for a info_player_start* entity name and if one exists with a _1 in it it assumes there were 2 created? Renaming the entity to info_player_start fixed this.

Not sure what my system specs matter but I will post them anyways:

Are you typing "quit" in the console in order to close out ur game window? I used to have the same problem a long time ago, but I can't quite remember how I fixed it

. Also, try typing quit and hitting return even if you dont see the game window open. If there is one thing I have learned about going from game to editor over and over is that sometimes little display hicups happen in certain spots.

When on the media tab in the inspectors window if your right click on most files and select edit the editor promptly crashes. Do I need to have a helper program setup for this to work or is this a menu item that should be removed ? Oh and I've had no trouble resizing multiple brush selections, I've even had problems where it tries to resize brushes that are not the same height. Oh and another kind of random one, I was making a tapered octagon using the vert editing and I would keep having faces disappear kind of randomly on that brush I'll have to look into it a bit more.

I miss alot of good things from GTKRadiant, and I hope that the guys will be able to pump out a working version for D3. (missing easy 3d viewport navigation, and the auto-clip tool the most :/)

Since this is a bug thread though ;

I am not able to change my viewport configuration ; I never worked with the default viewport setup, and prefer to have the four viewports (3d, top, front, side) : Somehow, in preferences, the option to do so seems to be grayed (sp?) out.
Anyone who knows a fix for this ?

i might add that i have found a way around this, if you select the entity brushes you want to move to world, and right click and goto ungroup entity, it drops the brushes back to worldspawn without any errors.

Go to edit/preferences in the "new functionality" section make sure "alt + multi-drag" is not selected. then you'll be able to resize multiple brush.... -OR- simply keep "alt" pushed while resizing brushes...

I create a room, and add some square pillars in it (brushes). I compile and test out my map, and everything is fine. After testing, I move the pillars around, and then test it again. Everything loads fine except that the location of the textures have not changed, but the physical geometry of the pillars has. Basically, the pillars got moved, but now they are invisible, and the old textures still remain, but with no physical presence or solidity.

I've tried restarting the editor amoung other things, but nothing helps. This has happened to me multiple times, on different maps.

This doesn't appear to be something system specific but a straight out editor bug. I created a test map to test a script I'd been working on and upon creating a trig_multiple to turn it on and off with everything looked fine, I hit bsp and it returns an error saying "found #INF on line 129" and the program ends.

The map would no longer reload (would return the exact same error and then the map would exit) until after I manually removed this entity with a text editor heh and I did nothing out of the ordinary to create the trigger with, just right click and selected "trig_multiple" and everything appeared fine until I bsp'd it.

It's probably been added here, but generally, patch meshes are really flakey.

Odd things happen, that I don't know if they are features or not.
I was dragging a flat patch mesh today, in normal mode and it basically started curving in on itself. I couldn't replicate this error.

Undo is very touch and go with patch meshes - CTRL+Z, CTRL+Z - nothing, leave for a bit, CTRL+Z ahh, finally, it undos

The old "bug" of trying to drag a flat patch mesh on a side view where you can just see a thin line is still around - sometimes you can drag it, sometimes it just gives errors, sometimes it drags the texture.

Basically, patch meshes in DoomEdit are a bit painful at the moment.

I spent a lot of time to figure out my light was fucked cause i didnt remove the key/value pair for the fog preset in my light entity properties.

logoliv@Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2004 11:05 pm :

often when i hit F7 to see my work in render mode, i get graphic corruption (color squares) and it stays when i quit the editor... the only thing to make that disappear is to reboot... and it is boring when it happens 3 times in a row

has someone the same issue ?

lol.

This is not a bug. Where do you see a worldspawn ? You see it in the Entity properties panel. And what is the entity properties panel ? This is the panel to set the properties of entities.
A brush is not an entity. A light is. There are a lot of entities. Each right click on the grid will show a menu to select a ton of them.
If you select a brush, then you didnt select an entity.
The Entity properties panel is refreshed when you select something.
If it's not an entity, it shows the prime entity of a map. The worldspawn.
This is the "container of the map", a global entity in some way.
There is only one worldspawn for all the map.
Selecting any brush will show the worldspawn. Easy so.

Remember, any brush will show the worldspawn properties.

Read up alot on this and some reason this was associated with clipping brushes and CGS Subtract. Well I used neither in this map and took peoples advice of using only resized brushes. The only thing i used besides making a brush is the Vert edit mode which I didnt even use on that particular brush.

Following up on that worldspawn thingy, one can always convert them to func_static if that need to become an entity (right click over the editor window)

**** UPDATE ****

If you are experiencing the below issue try the following
I was previously using the Super Mal theme (Misc>Colours>Themes), but that may not be important.
I changed back to the Original theme and the problem is very much reduced. Yay! I still get the occassional extra "end on" view, but the vertex drag issue is gone. Further, the editor start up issue is gone.
My new guess is I had a messed up cfg/ini or some such. Hope it works for someone

Cheer to Admins for the effort, look forward to messing me pants over everyones maps.

**** UPDATE ENDS ****

I think this ones been reported, but I'll add mine aswell.

I create a brush of equal dimensions. With brush selected I chose Patches>Cylinder. Everything is fine at this point.... Ive got a nice stubby cylinder. However, if i try to manipulate the patch in anyway (resize in any direction or vertex drag) I get ghost images of the cylinder. These appear to be what i'd be seeing from a different orthoganal view. For example if i drag out lengthways in top view I'll get the end view of the cylinder sporadically drawn on the screen. These "extra" views of the cylinder arent selectable, nor do they appear in game after BSP.
Once they have appeared they will not go away until I restart the editor and reload the map. They also persist if i open a new map with/without saving changes Ive made.
Pretty much the same occurs with vertex dragging, except the mess is much worse ... more like a smear.

I tried displaying patches as wireframes and get the same effect, however, when changing back to a non-wireframe view of the patch the patch becomes unselectable in any way. Again, shutting the editor and restarting, and reloading solves the problem until you manipulate again.

This has occured with the last 3 official releases of the ATI Catalyst drivers (havent tried any others). Im currently running Catalyst version 4.11 released 11/10/04 . (machine spec below)

Another very minor bug I experience is when first starting the editor after rebooting. If i do this the editor does not keep its previous display state (ie its not full screen) and the camera window is dead no matter what I do.
If i restart the editor the issue is gone and all seems normal (except the above patch stuff)

Apologies for the length of post, but its a bug report. Wether this is an editor bug or a driver bug I dunno, but it feels like a screen redraw issue to me.

Not a good place to ask a question, maybe go to the editing forum instead.

Okay, I've lost count of the bugs and maybe this one has been mentioned before, so for the hell of it I'll add my voice to the chorus.

If you copy say a room from from one map to another, and have to move the works over a bit, all the models (doors, gui stands, frames, etc) get shifted over slightly. The lights suffer from the same fate. It's a real drag since if your map has lots of models you'll have to adjust each one separately to their original position. This is a real, big freaking drag and almost renders the cut and paste feature useless. What was ID thinking in not solving this problem?!?!?!

A few more things like this - that keep me angry and frustrated - and I think I will chose another game to mod in after my project is complete. Too damn frustrating having to do stuff over and over again. Good game engine but a damn buggy editor.

MercyKiller@Posted: Tue May 10, 2005 3:36 am :

Your doom3 directory is C:\doom3, right? I think having it anywhere else makes the editor...uncomfortable on some machines and may cause problems.

Rayne@Posted: Tue May 10, 2005 6:52 am :

Sorry, but it's not "a damn buggy editor.".. It has his bugs like every other program in the world, and I assure you that there is no reason to switch to another game because "you can't do anything with the editor".

I use radiant for something like 3 years and I know what problems it has and my workflow it's "shaped" around that, nothing more.

Obviously, it has problems, no one is here to tell lies.. for example I hate the small bug that came out when you move certain models or patches.. You move your model/patch and the origin starts to wonder around messing your func_static integrity.. But it's simple to solve: now I simply took the habit to select the "move only, not resize" in the toolbar options of radiant. It's a small icon with four arrows going around. It works, period.

You can just take a look to one of the quality maps are came out from modders.. If radiant works for them, then will works for you too.

I can tell you that I wrote to Brian five or six mails about an issue I discovered on the "envshot" command (the one that takes cubemaps). Actually, seems to work only in 640x480. Since I took my cubemaps in 800x600 them were messed up and not seamless. So, Brian pointed me out that envshot works fine on 640x480 (and btw he will check why it doesn't works on others resolutions), so, in the meanwhile, I have two choices: coming here and blaming "oh well, I can't take cubemaps where I am in 800x600 " saying that i will switch to another game, or.. I can simply write r_mode 3 in console and be happy (and appreciating if ID will update that in the next patch

)

Check out this pic, and maybe you can give an idea of what is causing this.
This occurs whenever I edit/move/delete/etc. a patch. It's more annoying than anything else, it doesn't cause me to lose data or anything, it just looks retarded.

Also, I have no values appear for the Size Info on a selected Brush, and I also don't have Grid Coordinate appear. I tried mucking around with the font color for the Grid Text, but that didn't do anything. These are just minor annoyances, though.

Also, I get the following error message, when I go to save a testmap:

Unable to rename .map to the .bak: 13

The file still saves, but I don't know why it keeps popping up that error message. Again, an annoyance, but doesn't halt production.

my system is a:

Abit IS7/V2
2GB RAM
eVGA 6800GT 256mb AGP
P4 3.0e Prescott

if that has an effect of this. I have the latest nVidia/eVGA drivers for the card.

Could this be caused by a graphical setting in the engine? AA is turned off. Any ideas are appreciated.

thanks

It is rather brilliant of ID to include the source of each level with the game, because it gives us mappers a chance to see how they actually make the levels.

1. do your map cdd things change things whatever
2. do a bsp first (it will be short) it will say something about map un named or whatever
3. now save the map
4 now run the bsp ---and this time you will not get the bak error and everything will work fine

This is not a bug. Where do you see a worldspawn ? You see it in the Entity properties panel. And what is the entity properties panel ? This is the panel to set the properties of entities.
A brush is not an entity. A light is. There are a lot of entities. Each right click on the grid will show a menu to select a ton of them.
If you select a brush, then you didnt select an entity.
The Entity properties panel is refreshed when you select something.
If it's not an entity, it shows the prime entity of a map. The worldspawn.
This is the "container of the map", a global entity in some way.
There is only one worldspawn for all the map.
Selecting any brush will show the worldspawn. Easy so.

Remember, any brush will show the worldspawn properties.

This has occured with the last 3 official releases of the ATI Catalyst drivers (havent tried any others). Im currently running Catalyst version 4.11 released 11/10/04 . (machine spec below)

Another very minor bug I experience is when first starting the editor after rebooting. If i do this the editor does not keep its previous display state (ie its not full screen) and the camera window is dead no matter what I do.
If i restart the editor the issue is gone and all seems normal (except the above patch stuff)

Apologies for the length of post, but its a bug report. Wether this is an editor bug or a driver bug I dunno, but it feels like a screen redraw issue to me.

Heres me spec;

I have a monster and a speaker, both are triggered by one trigger_once, it works fine, until I move the monster to another position, It doesn't matter how short is the displacement, when I load the map, the monster isn't where is supposed to be... then I have to detele it, and put another one.

Board: DFI AD77 KT400
Athlon 2.4
768mb RAM
PixelView GeForceFX 5200 128mb

When saving a map in the editor under a new name I'll get a save error that stated the backup files 1 and 2 cannot be overwritten. The errors persist until the editor autosaves the map. Does not seem to affect the the saving of the map though. As I said, only since installing ROE.
