Map Crashes Server!

murphyt4 · August 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">plz help</div> My map keeps crashing HLDS. is this because its missing a needed file? Is there a program that can look at you map and tell you what it uses? I have the wad, sound files, BSP and all the stuff that the compiler makes in the folders....

(a) who cares if he double posts?

(b) yes, you definitely DO need to give us a lot more info.

It sort of looks like it has leaks in it, but Rad and all those other compilers DO run and make the map work. I fixed these ones in the picture but I dont want to look all over for the rest if there are any.

Does your map crash when you are near this HOM effect?

<a href='http://www.geocities.com/naturalselectionv3/leak.html' target='_blank'>http://www.geocities.com/naturalselectionv3/leak.html</a>

it could be that this brush/face is textured in NULL, this would not register as a LEAK but could crash the server...

In VHE it looks fine, a wall. But my server wont even start when I tell it to load tthis map. Ex I click on hLDS, choose my map, press start, then crash

You said the game locks up when you try to run your map in hl. I would guess this is because you have leaks in your map. HALF-LIFE HATES LEAKS! You said "<span style='color:green'>It sort of looks like it has leaks in it, but Rad and all those other compilers DO run and make the map work. </span>" If the map works with other compilers that is because other batch compilers are more forgiving then VHL is. Go back and do 2 things. 1st go to the map menu in vhl and click on check for errors. If any errors pop up then fix them (by hand would be best cus fix does not always work right). 2nd LOOK FOR LEAKS!!! LEAKS=HL CRASH! I have had problems with hl locking up because of leaks. Hope this helps.

P.S Leaks = ent outside of the map, holes in your map (like what you showed in that pic)

thnx ill try later

If the hlrad and vis do run there is absolutely no leak in the map, furthermore the batchcompiler is not the actual compiletool, the same goes for vhe.
Both of these USE the tools to compile the map they dont actually compile the map itself. And its better to use the batchcompiler since it doesnt suck up your memory like vhe does.

murphyt4 · August 2004

I do use Batch. So whats the prob with it then?

Dark-power · August 2004

Ok if you know someone who you can trust with your rmf file send it to them and see if they can compile it. If you have nobody to trust send me a private message and I will do it. Don't worry I wont steal it.

murphyt4 · August 2004

haha i might do that. Its not worth stealing ne ways lol

murphyt4 · August 2004

hmm I combined all of them into 1 wad, But now, I start HLDS, (Pic 1), Then I select my map and click "Start Server". Then it loads (pic 2), then all of a sudden it stops, the window dissapears and nothing happens. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' />

Can you start the map as a single-player game (map mapname)?

murphyt4 · August 2004

Do you mean, change map to it Ingame with the server? or if you mean start NS and click create server, because it works that way..... 1 sec illl try it the first way..

murphyt4 · August 2004

yup does same thing if I try in game.

brute_force · August 2004

So basically, you just can't start your map with HLDS? That's weird, never seen anything like that before.
