  2. Newbie DarkRadiant Questions

    in TDM Editors Guild

    Posted · Edited by kin

    Had some free time and while trying to get the hang of dark radiant tools, I found very furstrating the "leak" issue. As the map gets more complex I got lost in the structure making it very time consuming to find the leak. I tested a work around by enclosing the whole map or at least the specific area that leaks with a "walled" brush. I am not sure if it is aceptable in terms of performance later on but upon testing the map I don't see any performance issues neither I can locate any leaks opticaly at least. Is it ok to use this method?

    Also I found the subtract tool very usefull (like dromed) but upon watching older tutorials on its function I heard that it is better not to be used because it can lead to problems later on. Does that apply even now after all the updated versions of dark radiant?

    @kin
    testmap isn't ideal when you're starting out because it ignores errors in dmap and loads anyway. It's likely a leak prevented your map from compiling properly.

     

    Regarding Mircea's speaker, it's meant to be part of an addon available to all maps and players, so he has to create the speaker via script rather than use DR. Would seem like something that startSound or demagogue's ambient override should be able to handle, though.

    Ok thanks. Started a new map file using the "map" command but every time I use the "Pointfile" command from the drop down menu I get an error message "could not open point file "miss name".lin (I get that message even after reinstalling everything from scratch, Darkmod and Darkradiant)

    Had my first attempt on testing my skills in dark radiant. Very quikly I run in to my first issue: Once I try to test my first room with "testmap" comand in console I jump in game but I see a simple room with the first texture selection I have made (not the later one) and I cant see my work on the vertexes although it seems that I have collision with them. Any help?

    I just checked on both my notebook and my PC with version 2 and I could kill both of the revenants in the crypt without failing the mission. I really do not know what`s causing the problem on your end  and I am very sad that in general  it caused you so many problems.

     

    Mission is amazing and I am enjoing it apart from those minor issues. I could use a little help on the puzzle with rotating pillars though.

    I just checked and it works fine for me.

    I take it you tried a savegame generated with ver1?

    If so, then I am afraid this does not work as I think the savegames contain specific settings (team settings included) from the mission version the savegame was produced with.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that when announcing the release of ver2.

    I get the "do not kill" objective failed both with ver 1 and ver 2 with new saves in game. I ended up using some console commands to get through

    I downloaded the save, thank you!

    The problem with elementals comes back. Now it is caused by killing an elemental which was put on a list of "registered users" for a door. Opening the door afterwards causes a null pointer crash.

    @kin, I'm afraid you have to noclip past this door, but if some other door crashes on open, just do the same.
    I don't expect any problems     further in game: only the doors analyzed by elementals are affected.

    Ok thanks. How do I bring the console down? Also wich is the exact line "noclip"?

    edit: Ok found it. It is Ctrl + Alt + ~

    Restarted and replaying the game now hopping that it was a corrupt save but kept a save game with the issue just in case someone is willing to check in the above links.

    Thanks for your time.

    edit: replayed from the beginning with fresh download of the TDM and the mission to the point with the issue the game still crashes. I kept another link with a quicksave.

    Do you have the release version of DM 2.08? There was a crash in beta versions that wasn’t fixed until just before 2.08 was officially released. 

    Yes I have the 2.08 version, I am not sure if it is related, but my updater every time I try to use it says that I have admin rights to it and may cause issues. Tried puttingthe game in C:/GAMES/DARKMOD but I get the same message.

    edit: I have windows 7 64bit and the admin message started popping up only after the 2.08 update
