hl2dm crash- brush vehicle

Hi, I've been making this map with lots of different brush vehicles in. When you enter one the game crashes. And in the other one when you press escape to goto the menu it crashes again. Why is it doing this on hl2dm?

How many vehicles have you put in? Have you tried the level while putting in less vehicles?

Any specific error reports you get or does it just jump out?

Nope it just crashes. There are only 2 brush vehicles in the map, Something tells me this is a bug in hl2dm?

What tells you?

And without those two vehicles everything is fine?

How did you make these vehicles anyway (what entities)?

I used lots of logic compares, gameui and the usual- theres a plane and a helicopter.

The reason I think its either a error with my half-life version and not me is that other peoples brush vehicles seem to crash the same way. Any other time when you press escape it doesn't crash.

Thanks for answering anyway.

improper values in the .qc file of a model vehicle will cause a fatal crash. like if there was a 2 as the value of something that was meant to be between 0 and 1. i know yours is a brush based vehicle, but there may be some sort of connection.

as far as game entities go, i've still got very little idea of how they actually talk to each other, but even if i was an expert(few and far between for HL2), then i think i'd need a lot more detail than you've supplied to come up with an educated answer to your problem. all that anyone could do at present, would be to make a map with 2 working brush vehicles and tell you exactly how they managed it.

lots of people like to tinker with broken cars to try and make them run, but very few people will try and build one from scratch. posting a bare-bones .vmf of your setup might get better results. maybe not, though. :smile:

I made a brush based plane one time, I think I'll go look for it.

Until Later...

Brush based cars and planes dont crash for me in CS:S

Reckless disregard for childrens well being, women and nothing but utter contempt for other cultures.

This thread is now 10 replies long and still the authors only helpful comment is "My game crashes"

Its no wonder so many of these threads are ignored or go unresolved.

I suggest the author give a bit more information specific to this crash if he/she truly expects its eventual solution.

There is no history until something happens, then there is.

The reason I left it was I assumed it was unsolvable...

The error is simple really...When your in the plane or car and press esc the whole game freezes and you have to turn off the computer, No messages, No Logs just a complete crash! (You see the title screen for hl2dm but then it freezes)

I thought I pressed problem solved button but never mind, I left it because I just mentioned in the message at the game start saying don't press esc while in a plane.
