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 When you change your map, it can happen that regions are no longer available and thus the AAS is out of date.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I've had a stubborn AAS100 out of date that persisted through dmaps (no leaks).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. :)

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.
