Missing CM

[grayman]

I'm working on packaging my vert map.

 

I noticed that if I delete my *.cm file, it's not recreated when I execute dmap. Since this makes no sense (I've got tons of *.cm files from previous builds), is there something I need to do to force the creation of a *.cm file?

 

Thanks.

I've never known that. More likely the path is wrong. Has it gone in another folder? Another FM current? After dmap, check the time of the proc file to see if it has been updated. Where is your map file? In the pk4? If so, try moving that pk4 out of the way and extract the map file back to the maps folder.

I searched and the *.cm was nowhere to be found. The *.proc and *.aas32 files were correctly timestamped.

 

This was on my laptop.

 

I copied everything back to my desktop and a subsequent delete and dmap created all the necessary files, including *.cm.

 

Not sure what happened.

There should be some record of what happened in the console. Use the command condump to dump the contents to a text file.

If you are dmapping in a game folder and you definitely have doom3 pointing at that game folder, have you got another copy of the map and files in the darkmod folder? Maybe dmap is looking there and seeing there is already a cm file so it's either replacing it or not making one at all.
