memory read

For some reason my map has started to cause the memory read error. Compiles ok, no errors but when i start it up in console it just crashes. Its been working all along so what have I done?

what have you done? did you leave and some gremlins fiddled with your PC in your absence?

think about what you have done recently, load up a prior save. if you have no prior saves, well you just learned something valuable didn't you.
post any error message you received.. and it may help to post the compile log, you may not be experienced enough to recognize a vague error

all I did was change my skybox and my my light_enviroment and the sun :sad: Hammer brings up no error in the error check. Ive placed alot of prop_physics and prop_statics in the form of crates do you think that could be the problem?

this is the compile log -

I'm guessing the giant pile of degenerate triangles has something to do
with your problem. Since it seems to take place during the
"Building physics collision data" of bsp, you're probably right in
assuming that the physics objects you placed are causing this
problem. You could either check them all for errors, or just
delete them all and start over.

I'd be willing to bet all those "Degenerate Triangle" warnings are the
cause of your troubles! Dunno what is causing them but it is most
likely linked in with your props - perhaps one you are using is corrupt
or something. Try copying the map into a new file, deleting all your
props, and recompiling - if it works you know its some of your props
that are causing the problems.

Oh and 10 bounces in RAD is entirely unnecessary - between 1 and 4 are adequate for most purposes.

Ive got a good idea what the problem is now so im gonna get onto it asap! Reno how do you change the number of bounces? and oh...wtf are bounces?!

bounces are the calculations the tools make for light to bounce off walls.

the more bounces, the less stark shadow lines within your map. in other words 10 bounces should look allot like fullbright, which is no shadows at all.

and as for the number 10, you musta set that up yourself, cause the default used to be only 1.

look for the words BOUNCE in the rad part of your compile. i use 1-5 depending on the mood of the map.

I dont remember setting anything to do with bounces up Also I found out what the Degenerate Triangles where - my bloody grass! Deleted that and still the same, Deleted All my Props, still the same, for some reason the more i delete the longer it takes to compile! Hmmmmm

i take it "Alt+P" doesn't work on this error?

and since the bounces is now 10 instead of 1 you must have added a zero. just find it and change it.

ALT+P was clear, cant seem to find anything about the bounces! Still getting the bleeding error.

P.S some of your maps look fantastic!

hmm how are you compiling? are you using hammer?

and now is not the time to discuss my old stuff. if you like them, post it in the map comment itself :smile:

plus, i think you are confusing my stuff with reno's :razz:

</DIV></DIV>
No I was talking about yours :razz: Yes im using hammer to compile. Ive got it to work by deleting things one at a time until it worked, I think it may have just been a bad texture!? Ill keep you posted.

<DIV class=quotetext>I'd be willing to bet all those "Degenerate Triangle" warnings are the cause of your troubles! Dunno what is causing them but it is most likely linked in with your props - perhaps one you are using is corrupt or something. Try copying the map into a new file, deleting all your props, and recompiling - if it works you know its some of your props that are causing the problems.

Oh and 10 bounces in RAD is entirely unnecessary - between 1 and 4 are adequate for most purposes.
</DIV></DIV>
Reno, not trying to second guess you or anything, but I think "degenerate triangle" is a natural thing for... uh... whatever compiles that I think. I get that sometimes, and no massive problems ensue, or anything!

Yeah G-ball it didnt help, it was the displacement of my grass brushes :rolleyes:

Is your displacement surface "have no thickness" cause I encountered a glitch in hammer that made one of my displacement surfaces "thick".

My suggestion is to delete any displacement surface you have and rework it/them.

Ive since deleted the disp surfaces but they werent the problem. But yes they had some thickness to them as I was unsure on how to use them properly. Should they be totally flat then as in just the texture thickness?

Sorry to bring back the dead... but I'm having a problem with this too.. but I don't have all those crazy Degenerate Triangles. And please don't tell me that I have to delete all of my displacements.. I spent way too much time on them..

I don't see anything wrong in that compile log, it all looks perfectly in order.

Do you mean this:

Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 48
Memory leak: mempool blocks left in memory: 1

Thats nothing, I get that on a healthy map too.

</DIV></DIV>

I get the memory leaks too. that means "1337 mapper"

Are you getting any errors saying "warning: Degenerate Mapper?" (I get those sometimes)
I'm just joking buddy. See if it happens if you compile without RAD and VIS. then if it DOES work with ONLY bsp geometry you'll know it's wither rad or vis causing the problem. Add them back 1-at-a-time and yuo can use the process of elimination to tell what your problem ACTUALLY has to do with (lighting or vis).

this is like my second time using hammer and i get the same memory leak
error with no other errors. but when i go to test my map hl2dm closes
with some memory error message :sad:

all other maps play fine (not made by me)

Memory leak isn't an error, it's perfectly normal for everyone who
compiles. It must be something else. And as for the other
memory error...anytime HL2 crashes it seems like it's a "memory error".

Im sorry I have no F***ing clue what "1337" means, and i really dont care to know cause i think its as stupid as LMAO

Damn, I read through this entire thread looking for a glimmer of hope but it looks like there's no real answer (yet). I have a similar problem where HL2.exe crashes when you unload the map. I had degenerate triangles: fixed. Alt-P was complaining that I didn't have a player_start entity (this is a DM map but I put one in anyway). So I have no compile errors, no errors when the map loads but when you exit... BOOM! Sometimes I even get a nice Visual C++ error telling me:

Runtime Error!

Program: ...\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2.exe

R6025

• pure virtual function call

I've submitted a support request with Valve but haven't heard anything back. If you want to witness the strangeness yourself you can d/l the map from http://www.mrated.com/photos/thecave

I'll try the "bsp-only" thing to see if it's the geometry etc. then Vis, then rad... I think the only common thread here is displacement maps... little buggers.

Not sure if I've mentioned this before but if you do have degenerate triangles an easy way to fix them is to select the face that's degenerate and in the texture application (Face Edit sheet), under the displacement tab change the "Power" attribute to a different value to the current value (I had 3 so I changed to 2) then back again. It'll knock your face around a bit but you can easily get it back to a sewing point again. Easier than going through the whole process again.

How strange, I get the same error- though it happens rarely when closing other maps, too. Try deleting all the entities (except player starts, and especially the birds) and compiling, and do the same thing with the displacement surfaces.

I seem to get the same error exept i happens when i start the game. Ive isolated the problem to a tower of my church i hide it and it runs fine, but now im on my forth remake and every time i delete it, it works and sometimes half way thru the rebuild but always at the end it gives me an error (not in hammer but in HL2.exe) right after inicalizing cheat = "1" sort of thing (it crashes or gives me an error) im not sure what im doing wrong other than maybe a brush # overflow if thats posible (Its a very big map) but i dont think too huge to cause it any one have some insight?

*cough*startyourownthreadbecausethiswasnotanswered*cough*

hi i may have solved the problem my map was huge and i didnt tone down the quality of the textures in order to fix this it seems that the error happens because of too much stress on the engine, i fixed it by adding nodraw texture to unseen textures, reduced my large brush faces quality as well as the lightmap scale hopefully this sort of optimizing may help you in your map

Wow that's amazing I'm so excited I also don't think that this problem is still a problem as all the posts were done so long ago that nobody cares anymore notice the fact that not using periods is really annoying and makes people want to hurt you because it takes them extra time to read your posts congratulations on fixing your own problem though I'm very proud of you

lol french you are so mean dont u know its cool not use period anymore everyone is doing it

"Everyone" being 14 year old uneducated children, you mean. It's only "cool" in the same way that furry art might be "cool" within furry art circles; everyone else in the world just thinks you're an idiot.

Haha, good call....I usually try to act more educated than I actually
am rather than less educated ;-) (usually fail, but hey, I can
try)

waht a total waist of a post you to should bicker back and forth on your own time

ps yes i know im pointlessly posting too (NOW SHUT UP)
