Co-planars need to be fixed, portals are made weird but that's because I was sober when I made them

Everyone starts with alpha, my job was to get the thing in game....and I did it.

I'd call that a job done. BTW you all were complaining about crashes and whatever hence reminding me that having these files laying around is doing nothing for my libido, which is why I uploaded them.

But it is true I do suck.

:v

I've tried OS_Tool build-cache-file and OS_Tool build-cache-file-ex "" 0 0 0, I've also tried with a new scenerio tag. Crashes every time.



Look dude, I'm not blaming incompetence on anyone here. I'm simply asking what your setup is when you run the game. I've compiled dozens of maps before, this is the first time I've had this issue. The fact that even a fresh scenerio tag still causes it to crash tells me its something wrong with my copy of HEK.


Just out of question though. Does your copy of the map look like this:


because if it doesn't then you have the wrong copy. I have a horrible feeling that I have a few issues ATM with folder permissions and I may have ghost copies of maps.

well well nice to this still going, and use this os_tool build-cache-file-ex "" 0 0 1

Ok, heres a copy of it as the .yelo then:

Nope

hmm now this is odd, and you say it work's for you?

based on this did you modify your loc bitmaps and sounds maps this could be why it's not working. if not, give someone your tags, to see if they can compile map.

hope this helps

I'd happily give someone my tags to recompile. Any volunteers?

Is this under the tagspace/mapspace whatever limit? Or will we have to compile it as .yelo?
Edited by Spartan314 on Oct 1, 2016 at 11:45 PM

Its well under, the .yelo was just to see what would happen. Just download the map from the first link I shared on the previous page, extract and recompile.

if I have the time next week, if no one has helped ill do it

no reason really. I opened it with OS Sapian once and once you do that the scenario will only ever open in OS Sapian. But I've never had this issue before so I'm not quite sure why that would be an issue. I've compiled several maps with OS Sapian and submitted them before. Blackmoon for example was compiled with OS Sapian and that works just fine as you saw in CE3.

This seems like a no brainer. You used OS tools which changed those files making it unrecognizable for HEk+ to open. My mind is also boggling how you got this far...

Um. I just said that. god man, if you don't have anything useful to say. Don't say anything.

As I said before, I've compiled dozens of maps with OS_Sapian before and all the others worked on other peoples PCs fine. This is something else to do with my computer.

Yea, I'm sure the map file has previously worked fine on other computers but when they go to open it with HEK+ its different. It's probably something with your computer.

Still having this issue?

I guarantee if you move the BSP files to a new tagset, it will work (along with a NEW, not modified .scenario).

which I tried, and sent away to be tested. just the BSP and some player spawns. It didn't work.

I'm actually working on a separate multiplayer map right now, I'll update this post with it when I finish it, see if that runs, at least it will confirm whether or not other maps are affected.

OK,here's another multiplayer map I just finished, try it out, see if it works:

Make sure that OS_Tool didn't add your map's bitmaps to the stock bitmaps.map.

There is a strange bug where os_tool will randomly decide to modify the stock sounds, and bitmaps.map for whatever reason. This will let you play the map just fine, but others will obviously be missing the bitmap references in bitmaps.map.

how exactly do I prevent this though?

Listen, just cut your losses and start a new scenario file that won't require you to use Open-Sauce'd tools.

Thanks again for crashing my halo 11th time ._.

Ok, that confirms it, OS on my PC is stuffed.



I think your right there

Though I wonder if reinstalling OS might work, gonna try that first.

and lo and behold, after reinstalling OS and replacing the bitmaps/sounds/loc maps the maps I compiled now crash.


However I then recompiled, switched the loc, bitmaps and sound maps out again and it now works, will reupload them now. These should work on your PC's with any luck.

I hope you named the map file in accordance with it's actual beta state.

Does this map take advantage of OS features or are you using OS tools because its cool?

I'm using OS Tools because its convenient. It allows features in Guerilla that you cant normally use such as renaming shader tags and I prefer using it over the other guerilla kornman released. Regardless, can you please just tell me if this works or not.

SS Flanker, no, I called it Halo2_backwash, I've renamed it, recompiled it and uploaded it as another version attached to the same link. Now its called Halo2_backwash_beta1

Edited by Jobalisk on Oct 4, 2016 at 06:52 PM

How can naming a tag be convenient. Do you like giving them names of your soon to be family? Im going to name the sky John, my ground map shader will be named Cortana, and my assault rifle gbx model will be named Johnson!

Just stop using OS tools for stupid stuff and your problems will go away. I promise.

face palms. What I meant is that I may wish to change what shader I am using so I simply enter a different file path into the file path box that is greyed out in normal guerilla. Seriously man, if you were any thicker I'd be having a better conversation with a brick wall.

...is this really the only reason you're using OS tools?

E: Pretty sure the latest Kornman lets you do what you're after?
Edited by Spartan314 on Oct 4, 2016 at 08:33 PM

You're the one having problems. You tell me, is that feature really worth the problems you're having? If anyone should be facepalming it would be everyone but you.

As I said, I prefer it over Kornman's one. As for the problems I'm facing, that is due probably to me having to copy and replace the version of OS I have with another one a while back. It's not so much as issue with the software as it is the computer running. Everything running as normal using OS_HEK should not pose any problems what so ever over using regular HEK. But this conversation is going nowhere. I'm not here to discuss best programing practice. Do the new versions I posted work. Yes or No?

IT WORKS, SO THAT MEANS IT WAS YOUr LOC and BITMAPS maps

now it needs a good fog
Edited by DOOM899 on Oct 5, 2016 at 01:21 AM

THANK YOU!

Fog is Flankers job. But its working and that's the main thing. What did you think about the other map?

Finally it worked! I thought it would crash too.... anyways good job m8

ty, but this map is very much a joint effort. BTW. I've gone and made a few improvements to the glowing moss stuff. I've re uploaded the new version with the same link. Flanker. If you ever get round to making another version of the BSP, please remove the glowing moss/fungi bits from the map. I've replaced it with decals. The reason I couldn't light map properly was the transparent glowing moss shaders. So its better if they just aren't there and I just keep them as decals.
