I kept this map really tidy, but im getting ''allocblock: full'' when itry to connect to a server with this running. I have yet to add the light on the map. Any ideas why this map wont run?

Cheers

Well the "LEAK LEAK LEAK" error is because a bit of your map is outside the "world". Make sure your sky is completely surrounding your map.

Can't remember what max_patches is.

RopeDrink

There were times when I found that only a complete re-texture of the whole map could fix some of my previous MAX_PATCHES errors (If I remember correctly - Been a long time since I've mapped) mainly because I used to 'shrink' textures an awful lot and some of the sides of objects (Often the ones that were hidden) ended up being textured on a microscopic scale (The texture going SUPER small and ending up with sizes like 0.03 and **** like that)

I can't remember if that was the max patches error but I first suggest that you check 'EVERY' object and make sure there is no ghey texturing for a start, then see to it that you have at LEAST one light in the map. And of course, like RaVeN said, make sure you have the map completely concealed in the sky box.

allo_block: full means you have too many wads in use..

get rid of a few

and do a search for zoners compile tools.. qrad and qcsg etc dont cut the mustard

angelofdeath

afaik, you should be ok with 8 wad files, its borderline though and yes get zoners

Make sure your sky is completely surrounding your map.

yeah, but its probably better to find and fix the leak instead of taking the easy way out and putting a skybox around the map, you'd notice the improvement in r_speeds

RopeDrink

It's not so much a question of how many texture wads, just how many textures you've used... Of course, having more than say 3-6 wad's is a little much...

I used to use Wally to rip all the textures I needed from other wads and pack them into my own, thus cutting down from 5 wads to 1 and making life a LOT easier...

However, if you use too many textures and you're texture memory exceeds, what was it, 4.12mb (or something) you will most likely get an error.

angelofdeath

oh yeah, sorry, i forgot about the texture limit, tools-map properties shows that, the 4megs allowed though i've never had any problems there, normally for a full sized map for me it never really exceeds 3megs

but anyway back to the original compile report, i see two errors a) leak,leak,leak- the map is either not fully enclosed by world brushes or there is an entity outside the map b) max patches - mainly caused by scaling a texture down too much

DRakE

ever released any maps there angelofdeath?

angelofdeath

only one, didn't go down too well so i havent done much since, focusing more on video editing now, heres a link to the map

RopeDrink

No offense, but it looks more along the lines of basic HL than CS - But of course, first maps never go down well at all 'ANYWHERE' (Anyone remember de_gravel?)

You should keep it up, though.
I was never a good mapper at all, but I have stuck to it and managed to produce one or two pictures that raised an eyeborw or two (Even if just by a fraction) and knew that if I ever bothered to complete a map, I'd get some satisfaction out of it.

angelofdeath

yeah, i would but at this stage im not interested in spending months working on something people will just say is crap and not play anyway, the scene is overpopulated anyway, dont mind making prefabs though, quick n' easy, but no, im much more interested in making movies now, even just for myself i get more satisfaction out of a well put together movie
