DMAP again before you load your map. And if everything is still black, make sure you have lights.

 

Your error message means there was an entity out in the void, not enclosed by your brushes. Maybe a func_static that's in your map but whose origin is out there. Try selecting func_static6 from the entity list in DR (J) then switching to vertex mode (V) to see where the origin is and to move it.

Thanks, I think that did it.

Thanks, I think that did it - I have no idea how all the lights vanished... There are four of them blasting out but no show in the game... Think something's screwey here.

 

It's happened to me as well that the map loaded in with a black screen and unable to move - as in, no footstep sounds. That was solved by going to the maps folder and deleting everything but the .map and .darkradiant files to give the compiler a fresh start.

That is useful to know, thanks again.

No gas mine. Only an explosive mine and flash mine.

 

IIRC, someone made one for their mission, but I don't recall which one, or if it was ever completed.

Sotha made the def: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/14823-the-custom-mine-thread/

 

It uses the flashmine model but models/darkmod/player_equipment/gas_mine.lwo actually exists in the mod.

Edit. I see you already solved the OP issue so it moots this post now.

Thanks for the link to the gas mine code!

First a "leaf" means a room bound by brush walls and portals. (The tree is the whole map. Leafs are linked by portals to make the branches.) A leaf can leak to another leaf the same way you can leak to the void, by any gap without a portal. I'm guessing leaks and flooding are related. Messy brushwork, splinters, gaps, overlaps, and weird angles can also open unintended leaks by I guess rounding errors.

 

You know a leaf has a leak when a portal doesn't work, i.e., doesn't show up when you type "r_showPortals 1" in the console or it never closes when it should.

thanks for the explanation:)
