added 1 additional animating textures.

All the files are there. I'm running -nowadtextures. What's happening?

I'm guessing you have an invalid texture, like one that is too large or contains an unacceptable character. A good place to start looking might be your animated textures.

Removed the animated texture. Same error.

Removed all of the WAD's involved except for two, same error.

i had the same error not too long ago.

i assumed it was another way of saying there was a max_miptex error, because when i increased my -texdata setting, the error went away again.

i've resized some of the larger textures since then, but i've not given the map another compile with -texdata back down to 8000, to find out if the error is gone completely.

I had this problem once. I see that you are using halflife.wad and some dod.wads. They all need to be in the same folder and then compile.

Now this is truly bizzarre.

The WAD's are all in the same folder, even halflife.wad.

The map contains no liquid, animated, or invalidly sized textures.

As it turns out, one particular texture - 256x256, standard, no special properties texture - kl_sidewalk from kleinluka's classic DoD WAD - caused this error. It messed up the compile independent of filename or what WAD it was placed in. When I removed that single texture, the entire thing went fine.

What the f**k?
