Hey,

 

This showed up tonight when working on my map. I've not seen it before. Anyone know what it is?

A more detailed explanation (I hope, it is correct, if not, I hope someone who know better, corrects me):

AAS, in general, is the system used for pathfinding for AI. The number indicates the size of the AI. When you dmap the regions your AI can reach are calculated based on the volume given by the AAS of your AI (this is a spawnarg each AI has). When you change your map, it can happen that regions are no longer available and thus the AAS is out of date. As soon as you dmap again it is recalculated and removes this error.

Ahhh I see. Thanks to both and for the more detailed explanation. Much better to understand why things happen. :)

Still having this issue. What is the spawnarg that controls calculation of the volume given by the AAS as you said? If I knew which spawnarg was causing it,

I might be able to fix it. The geometry that the AI can use hasn't changed since the AI we made, so it shouldn't be happening.

Even though the geometry hasn't changed, doing something as simple as moving an AI can require a dmap.

 

It's best that when you get that error, just dmap and you'll be good again.

 

Edit: The spawnarg that defines the AAS size is "use_aas".

I've had a stubborn AAS100 out of date that persisted through dmaps (no leaks). What solved it was to delete the .proc, .cm files so the compiler can make a fresh start. That can also fix a handful map loading errors.

Yeh I did delete all the files from my map folder except for the map and .darkradiant. Dmapped it again and still have the issue. Very strange.

I've been Helping with this map for a while, removing the horses, enclosing thier stalls - nothing has worked. Do thier stalls need to be a certain size..?

 

After dmap I am seeing the no entities inside console error...

This got sorted. The problem was the the horses need a 100 x 100 x 100 box around them that doesn't touch any monster clips. Repositioning fixed it. :)

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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!
