    dude, i fixed that error like 3 times for you, and you mess it up again?!

    heres the best way to fix it.

    select all brushes, and make them all scaled to 1.0 x 1.0 and center them all.

    That's not what I mean...

    I mean half the map is just GONE. Vanished... like it was bitten in two. I swear each time my computer does it's little reboot thing (caused, as far as I can tell, by the power supply being too "small" to handle the load when playing HL2 and such) it screws stuff up... as I told you in the PM, I've reformated like, three or four times... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> The guy is SUPPOSED to be coming this weekend... if not, I'm saying "fark the warrenty, I'm puttin in my own power supply"... and it'll be an Antec 550 watt <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hmm... this is the latest thing I made... I think it looks a bit tacky... gonna have to try a compile on it later in it's own separate minimap so I can check the lighting, but for now, tell me what you think of the "architecture"... I think it just looks... weird... *shrug* But it's something at least!

I follow GiGaByTeS advice to fix one of em, and another comes up somewhere else 0o'

    Is there any other way to fix em?
  • SpacerSpacer Invented dogs Join Date: 2003-05-02 Member: 16008Members
    Yeah dude, compile it.
    AND get rid of those hl.wad textures.

    How do you fix bad surface extent errors though- I've tried what GiG said a couple times... it just seems to move em 0o'

    I may have it this time... no texturing done on the rebuild part, but it should compile... Ihope...


    and the only hl.wad textures I'm using are a few lights and the observation deck sign... I think 0o'



    EDIT

    Well, I've managed to progress another 2000 faces into the BuildFace Lights part... then I get the bad surface extents again...

    I'm done for the night <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I'm going to host up the .rmf for if anyone else cares to give it a shot <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'd like to see that corridor of the attached image you just posted lit entirely by those little computer light things on the walls. Very dark, looming lighting, maybe a flickering light. ^^;
  • BulletHeadBulletHead Join Date: 2004-07-22 Member: 30049Members
    Sounds like a plan... any way I can make an overlay like that?
  • draindrain Join Date: 2005-02-19 Member: 41783Banned
    That latest editor shot looks good. Kind of huge, though. It wouldn't matter if you scrapped something off it. But it still looks good to me. Now, unless those light strips in the walls have an incredibly high value (I assume you're using tex lights), it'll still look pretty bad, I think. I suggest you add some pointlights from the ceiling. But that's just my opinion. See what you like. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    there's the one in the strips on the walls, the computers, and then a strip youc an't see at that angle in the floor


    Just an FYI- unless someone can help me fix this stupid error...

  • GiGaBiTeGiGaBiTe Join Date: 2003-10-07 Member: 21489Members
    dude, you have GOT to stop visgrouping stuff together. and the reason your getting bad surface extents is because you have like 400 leaks. i used the block method to fix one, and 2 more come up somewhere else.

    visgrouping worldspawn brushes = BAD

    I don't have them vis grouped together though! At least, they shouldn't be... I hardly ever use vis groupings to be honest. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Damnit, if that's the problem, what can I do about it? And why wouldn't it come up as a LEAK... why the Bad Surface Extents? I never got that before. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->


    EDIT- well, I just broke up 2 large groups- dont' know HOW they got grouped together, but i just now discovered the use of VIS Grouping... I thought the tools-group was vis grouping, guess not... gonna give it another go! Pray for me!

    Edit2- NOTHING... Everything is ungrouped, there is not a single vis group in the map, and it STILL gives the same exact error... I have less than 2 days now and I am still stuck at the same point

    Edit3- well, I'm out of ideas. Short of re-making the ENTIRE flipping map, I have nothing left to do... and trying to remake the map in less than two days... yeah, right...

    Edit4- er, and I'm banned from nsmapping... my last resource

    Edit5- Well well well... seems my Observation Deck was giving me the greif... I deleted it on a random spasm of a hint, and it seems to be compiling fine... for now... I'm building the vis leafs now <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Now being serious...

    VISGrouping doesn't affect map exporting/compiling at all, that's "editor-only" information.

    In Half-Life 2, what you see is what it's compiled (which means that if you hide a group it doesn't exist to the compiler).

    That's my current lights.rad- it's the Valve standard lights, cause I use a bunch of em... so why are the final numbers in the THOUSANDS and show up so dim?

    <light name> <R> <G> <B> <Brightness>

    red yellow and blue are used in art as color bases, RGB is for the computer definitions.

    visgrouping worldspawn brushes = bad in the sense that if you move one brush, bunches of others go with it. so easier to create leaks..

    AIght, cool

    Well, tomorrow is the day I do the lighting. Then I'll reveal some compiled shots- I still want to work on Marine Start a bit, but I got the Observation Deck working!!!
