Not Understanding This Message

DeathToll_David

<div class="IPBDescription">when compiling</div> I have never seen this message before so I have to assume it is NS related. (That is why I am posting it here) sorry if it doesnt belong but I figured someone could help.

Hullnum 0: No entities in empty space -- no filling performed
Hullnum 1: No entities in empty space -- no filling performed
Hullnum 2: No entities in empty space -- no filling performed
Hullnum 3: No entities in empty space -- no filling performed

Obviously the error is entity related except for one thing - I havent added any entities yet. And I mean that - not 1 entity has been added. Not even lights.

Thoughts?

TheMuffinMan

try adding 1 entity and then compile it

Naturally I had already considered that, the same result occurs.

By the way this error didnt always happen. I was compiling it just fine for a while.

Here is the compile log if it helps. The first thing I noticed is that it says I have two models - which I dont?

Go to www.valve-erc.com and learn the basics on HL mapping.

Lots of tuts there to help you.

Suicide_Run

dave knows what hes doing usually :/

hsa somethign to do with the bsp process

Ollj

could be a point entity thats outside the map in the void (at high z position).

I'm pretty sure you've described the reason for the error -- the fact that you don't have any entities. I've seen this once -- in a cramped spawn room for an SI map, I didn't have a single entity that was in a place where a 64x64x64 cube could fit. Since HL's default hull 2 size is 64x64x64, I got an error message similar to yours, only for hull 2. I'd say, don't worry about it. It'll go away when you add entities.

One problem is, you're using Quakes compile tools which are way to old and buggy.

After that, you'd probably find out that it's more than just what your seeing with quakes compile log.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but..make sure you don't have 'Hide Entites' checked in the View menu. I've done that one a few time <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Also, if you aren't....switch to ZHLT compile tools...Trust me. They are <i>soo</i> much better.
