Spark = Entity report ?

Xale

Maybe a dumb question but is there an "Entity report" in Spark ? I can't find anything.


Entity report used to be a tool in Hammer telling all entities used in the level. As a result you be sure you won't have any double for unique entities (such as ns2_gamerule or "light_environnement")

No, there is no such feature in the editor.

Spark has less entities, so it's not a big problem.
Just put them in differently named layers. Check out offical maps for that.
Like "Entities - Locations" , "Entity Mapextends" , "Entities Gameplay" (where you can put in stuff like techpoints, resnodes, power nodes).

You can also filter your selection to get only entities.

Cinematics and Decals should each have a seperate layer, I use one global one for them.

You can also make an Entity layer for every location. It's done differently in every map.

Put the unique entities in the readyroom, where u can find them easily, like gamerules, skybox, spawn_overrides.

Btw there is no light_enviroment, you have to fake skylight with shadow casting spotlights and the other light types. Can be messy.

If all else fails you could always open up the *.level file in a notepad and search for the entities which are spitting out errors to see if you've got a duplicate. Note down those coordinate and go there in the editor to find it and kill it Or if you're familiar with the code, just remove it in there

Yes I taught about that but notepad++ indicates :

minimap_extents      "      origin	          Å‚ªÀ'©µÂ’DA

The reason I'm asking is because I'm reworking another mappers map so it's very difficult without entity report...



EDIT :

Manage to find my entities by creating a copy of my map and remove half the map, then loading the file in notepad++ to see if the entity is still there or not then doing this as many times needed to find the entity...
