DarkRadiant - Failure reading map file


Recommended Posts

Hi all, first of all I want to ask not to blame me very much because the same question was somewhere discussed but I've not found anything related to the subject, if not taking into account several cached lines of the source code on a github.

 

I've got the error (see attachments) when trying to load custom Doom 3 maps and every time DarkRadiant blame some token of negative value.

I'm new to Doom3 Level Editing and familiar only with Quark Editor, which, I should mention, loads these levels pretty well (in fact they were created in it :)).

Please, help me to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure Quark Saves correct Doom 3 .map files? Have you tried to open your map on the official Doom 3 editor?

 

Make a simple box map with a player start on Quark and DarkRadiant and compare the two .map files on a text editor to see if anything is unusual.

No, I didn't, but this maps are correctly opened by Doom 3 itself without any errors (if not taking into account not-related to subject textures/sounds absence errors).

Thanks for advice, I'll try.

Probably I've found out the rison of the error, but I'm not shure that get it right :) Please, help me.

Quark generated map file:

{
 brushDef
 {
  ( 272 -192 96 ) ( 256 -192 96 ) ( 256 192 96 ) ( ( 0.00000 0.00781 -1.37500 ) ( -0.00781 0.00000 0.00000 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah"
  ( 272 192 -96 ) ( 256 192 -96 ) ( 256 -192 -96 ) ( ( 0.00000 -0.00781 -1.37500 ) ( 0.00781 0.00000 0.00000 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah"
  ( 272 192 96 ) ( 256 192 96 ) ( 256 192 -96 ) ( ( 0.00781 0.00000 2.37500 ) ( 0.00000 0.00781 0.12500 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah"
  ( 272 -192 -96 ) ( 256 -192 -96 ) ( 256 -192 96 ) ( ( 0.00781 0.00000 -1.37500 ) ( 0.00000 0.00781 0.12500 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah"
  ( 272 192 -96 ) ( 272 -192 -96 ) ( 272 -192 96 ) ( ( 0.00781 0.00000 0.00000 ) ( 0.00000 0.00781 0.12500 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah"
  ( 256 192 96 ) ( 256 -192 96 ) ( 256 -192 -96 ) ( ( 0.00781 0.00000 0.37500 ) ( 0.00000 0.00781 -0.75000 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah"
 }
 }

Opposite to DarkRadiant generated map file, here is no 3 digits/numbers after texture definition. Error dissapears after I've changed map file like that :

 {
 brushDef
 {
  ( 272 -192 96 ) ( 256 -192 96 ) ( 256 192 96 ) ( ( 0.00000 0.00781 -1.37500 ) ( -0.00781 0.00000 0.00000 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah" 0 0 0
  ( 272 192 -96 ) ( 256 192 -96 ) ( 256 -192 -96 ) ( ( 0.00000 -0.00781 -1.37500 ) ( 0.00781 0.00000 0.00000 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah" 0 0 0
  ( 272 192 96 ) ( 256 192 96 ) ( 256 192 -96 ) ( ( 0.00781 0.00000 2.37500 ) ( 0.00000 0.00781 0.12500 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah" 0 0 0
  ( 272 -192 -96 ) ( 256 -192 -96 ) ( 256 -192 96 ) ( ( 0.00781 0.00000 -1.37500 ) ( 0.00000 0.00781 0.12500 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah" 0 0 0
  ( 272 192 -96 ) ( 272 -192 -96 ) ( 272 -192 96 ) ( ( 0.00781 0.00000 0.00000 ) ( 0.00000 0.00781 0.12500 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah" 0 0 0
  ( 256 192 96 ) ( 256 -192 96 ) ( 256 -192 -96 ) ( ( 0.00781 0.00000 0.37500 ) ( 0.00000 0.00781 -0.75000 ) ) "textures/lab/duffyblah" 0 0 0
 }
 }

Could you tell me, please, what last 3 digits means exactly? Are they texture offset?

BTW, Doom3 editor accepts Quark-generated map files without any complains.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
