Strange, compile time 8 hours

Ive been trying to find out what it is with my map that is causing it to take 8hours to compile and then when it finishes i cant open it cause it crashes

The problem seems to be on rad side, cause it takes rad forever to finish...

Heres a error in the log :

Warning: Redundant 'frenzy/frenzy_stripe' def in 'lights.rad' AND 'D:\Steam\SteamApps\frissihl@hotmail.com\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\lights.rad'!

If im right this meens its loading two rad files and they are telling two different values of each texture... but why does it load two rad files, or am i wrong with that error ?

If there is anything else causing this error it might be the white001 texture, i use it alot and the value of it in the rad file is : "206 253 255 20"

Its scaled from 0.50 up to 2.00 all around map, (stripes in ceiling and on floor.)

I would post the log but i started compiling again and then stopped it when i noticed it would take another 8 hours and its midnight here now so,,, ill show you the log tomorrow or something.

1)
Compile the map without rad and see if the map runs.

As the warning suggests, you have the same texture listed twice in the ***.rad this error refers to- delete the duplicate entries.

Check that out, try the compile (both) save the log, post it up if you still have problems.

This, my friend, is a lightcasting texture. Do not use it in the world unless you really have to make light coming in from the windows, such as behind a glass window. That's where it is used. Not for stripes on the floor!

Heres a pic of the main arena that shows you how im using the white001 texture to lit up the map



Is it to hard for the engine ?

I did compile map without rad and it worked fine, when i compile with rad it tells me 4272 direct lights !

then takes 8hours to finish







isnt 4272 lights way to many ?

No it isnt, whats hard is for you to understand that the white001
texture isnt meant to be used on world brushes, they are meant to be
used on func_brush, func_wall, func_illusioary. Plus:

1)

Compile the map without rad and see if the map runs.

is a valid answer, why not actually try it! And post results. Then we can decern if there is anything else/

One question per thread, dont bring up other questions.

If there is anything else causing this error it might be the white001 texture,

This, my friend, is a lightcasting texture. Do not use it in the
world unless you really have to make light coming in from the windows,
such as behind a glass window. That's where it is used. Not for stripes
on the floor!

Again this is another valid answer, once again TRY IT! Then come back
here and tell us if it didn't work, not mark an answer wrong!

The moral is: We help Those who help themselves, don't expect us to do
all the work FOR you, you have to actually try things and help yourself.

My suggestion:

Use a different texture than white001 texture. Then try crono's
suggestion. And what part of the compile prcess is taking a long time?
BSP? VIS? RAD? Do you have a leak?

---

Posting And You

First of all, i did try everything they suggested me to do..

"I did compile map without rad and it worked fine, when i compile with rad it tells me 4272 direct lights !"

and i actually replaced a custom texture with white001 and then tried to replace white001 with a none light texture (wall texture)

I know i dont have a leak and the rad compile process is taking the long time.

btw : "what is max size and length of an mp3 sound for hl2" i was checking if that was causing my map to crash :-|

---

http:www.frissi.com

No the mp3 didn't crash you map.

You never said "Yeah, I ran it without rad and it ran fine" ... you need to actually mention that because I asked to help you further.

Did you even try checking for a repeating valid in the rad file? Which is the compile error, even if that's not the reason the map isn't working, it's still a problem.

You need to post your compile log instead of marking every suggested answer wrong ... (which is ridiculous anyway, because you can just mark a correct answer when you come across one and leave it at that)

Anyway, post your log. The whole log.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Just off of what crono said, compile the map, then when the process
that takes the longest, just crt-alt-del and stop the vis/rad/bsp
program that is going, then copy the compile log into the forum.

Maybe then we can actually tell you whats wrong.

And:

"and i actually replaced a custom texture with white001 and then
tried to replace white001 with a none light texture (wall texture)"

So what happened? did it work?

I can also give you this:

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Material_System

That can help you create your own custom texture, maybe your doing something wrong when compiling it (the texture, not the vmf).

Posting And You

did you even tie the lights to func_illusionary or something? and make sure only the faces that point outward are the light, the rest should be nodraw.

If animals weren't meant to be eaten, then they wouldn't be so delicious and easy to catch!

Face it: if crime didn't pay, there would be very few criminals.

white001 scaled as 0.50x1.00 on many locations caused the rad to take 8hours and then crash hl2 when loading map.

Map works if i scale white001 more like 3.00x3.00

Im compiling now, and i am sure map will work... cause it only got 1000 direct lights now not 4000

Thanks everyone !

Looks like it would only take 3 and a half hours if you only compiled it once...

"If you talk at all during this lesson, you have detention. Do you understand?"

• My yr11 Economics teacher

wow that helped

http:www.frissi.com

Because you haven't tied all those white-textures brushes to a func_wall etc bsp cut's them up first like it's supposed to for later VIS calculations, then RAD starts making it's radiosity measurements and makes that huge amount of direct lights, because all those brushes with the white001 textures are cut up too by BSP, hence you get 2000-4000 direct lights.

But i replaced all the white001 textures with a metal texture, i only have a few func_detail brushes with the texture

"lights/fluorescentcool003a value : 189 231 232 40"

i forgot some brushes but i tied them into a func_wall and func_ill.. still map doesnt work...

How are you compiling it? If you have a batch file, post it here.

"If you talk at all during this lesson, you have detention. Do you understand?"

• My yr11 Economics teacher

Ive compiled it through "batch compiler" and hammer, when i compile other maps it works fine.

Have you used the replace texture tool? Because you said you left a few out. That in its self could be the problem. Use that tool and then compile.

1 other thing, func_detail wont work if you have the white001 texture on it, func_detail is merely a special brush that doesnt seal the world, nor will it cut vis or split faces. You actually have to use func_wall or func_brush or func_illusionary as the ent that has the white001 texture on it

edit:also it looks liek your posting 2 compile logs, only post 1. And:
11745 faces
1388441 square feet [199935600.00 square inches]
is way too high (Like you said). I would recomend replacing all light emitting textures with something that doesnt emit light (They hardly work in HL2 anyways, best to use light_spots over where you want light to come from instead)

Also go to entity report and tell us how many light ents you have.

Posting And You

Thanks, i did use the replace texture tool... ive started copy pasting parts of map into a "new map"

Now all brushes with light textures are func ill....

Im going to take small steps in sopy pasting from map and hopefully that will work

Interesting thing here:

Loading d:\steam\steamapps\frissihl@hotmail.com\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\mapsrc\goldstar_arena_11.bsp<br style="color: white;"> No vis information, direct lighting only.<br style="color: white;"> 11127 faces

apparently, VIS is not getting any data...can't see a leak in the log though. Another thing I sometimes do is, details that are against the wall, like metal stuff etc I tie that to func_wall so that it doesn't cut in the world brushes and saves some other awkward triangles.<br style="color: white;">

Uhm, since this is the HL2 board, you should use func_detail, no func_wall... :wink:

And from looking at that log, it seems you're running one of the compile programs 3 times. You really need to fix up your batch file. All you need to run is hlbsp, hlvis and hlrad, all just once. This section in the Valve wiki should be of help to you: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Map_Compiling_Theory.

Uhm, since this is the HL2 board, you should use func_detail, not func_wall... :wink:

When using the texture white001 on a brush you want to use func_wall,
func_illusionary, or func_brush. Because white001 texture cant be a
part of the world (and func_detail is considered as part of it, only it
doesnt cut vis, or close the world off). Otherwise you WOULD want to
use use func_detail for everything else, just not on a brush with the
texture white001.

Paladin also raises a good point. Why not try just using hammer's
compile GUI (press F9). I merely use this for test compiling, which is
what your doing by the sound of it.

Hmmmm.....

didnt notice the direct lights only in the log Ill check this out thanks !

Also i did use hammer compile, didnt work by compiling with hammer.

ive started copy pasting small sections of the map to a "new map" hoping that will work

Fact is that func_detail cut's in the other brushes and func_wall doesn't. So that's why I said to use func_wall, all those white textures brushes would then stay intact and save probably hundreds of triangles that otherwise would have to cast light on their own.

Okey, this is strange...

Ive removed all textures that lit up, i have 17direct lights no leak and no error...

Yet, when i compile the compile says direct lights only (no vis information) ive got an light_enviroment

Also after compile through Hammer compile and Batch file compile the bsp is 128mb's :shocked:
