 Re: Map compiles fine, but crashes CS:S
Posted by Leviathan on Wed Oct 18th at 9:05pm 2006

Ok I have been working on a small map for CS:S and it was going great. I had a tower with teleports, sprites, lights, fire, and playerspawns. I selected parts of the tower and made it func detail and eventually the whole tower was func_detail in different parts.

Then I copied everything (Tower and everything in it) and pasted it for another tower. I now had two towers facing each other, identicle. I changed the teleport properties of the second tower so that it would screw up and get confused with the first tower teleports. I also changed the played spawns to terrorists instead of counter terrorists. Then I alpha painted my terrain and ran the map. The map compiled fine. When I loaded the map up in CS:S it just crashed. I tried several times and tested different maps. The map always crashed CS:S.

Keep in mind, the map would load fine in CS:S up until I added the second tower and alpha painted geometry.

What should I do? If required I will post my compile log.

I doubt there wasn't at least some kind of warning in the compile log. Please post it!

Maybe some error with the displacement terrain? But there's nothing one could possibly say from this description alone :/

Hmm the only error I can find is that it can't load the skybox. Try a different skybox name and see if it changes.

There are also 3 "degenerate faces". Which is harmless.

Sometimes invalid texture references in entities cause the map to compile fine, but crash in-game. If you have beams, lasers, sprites, or any other entities that use a texture or sprite, try hiding them, compiling the map, and then running it to check if that's the problem.


Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

Theres your problem. Run vis on full if you want to see what your map looks like. Judgeign from how long:
BasePortalVis: 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 (0)
Took (0 seconds..) a full vis compile shouldnt take much longer.



Posting And You

I agree with omegaslayer, try full vis.

I for one, never, ever, run fast vis. It's nasty <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
