This is a problem that started out of the blue ca. two (or three?) years ago. At first I thought, there was maybe something broken with my Windows install, but after migrating to Linux, I see the same problem:

  1.  I create a map with a leak (or defective portal) and save it  (name, for example: m1)
  2.  dmap ,  console shows leak
  3. when going back to DR for the pointfile, a message appears stating that there is no pointfile for this map
  4. then I save the map with a new name (m2)
  5. dmap again
  6. back to DR: then there is a pointfile

Anyone has seen this problem as well and if so, is there a fix?

Does it also create a pointfile (lin)?

 

The weird thing I just encountered (but maybe it's normal) is that a dmap only checks for one leak and then stops. In DR you only see this leak, while a second leak is not seen, although it might be there.

Just seeing this problem too while following up a defective portal. In DR, couldn't see the pointfile (...portalD...lin) if I opened it with File/Open Map from Project, but did see the pointfile if I opened map with File/Open...

If any of you blokes could verify the fix for func_klaus and report it to him at:

0005617: "Open Map From Project" prevents pointfile from loading (link above)

that would be good.

Done, left a comment.  It seems to be fixed.

      So on a regular basis I try to start building something in Darkradiant but very quickly I loose interest and give up.
      I tend to
      create a room, position an ai in it (or first ai, then room, probably better) put a light in it Put some stuff in it test the room in tdm Now I had this new idea:
      Start of with a gigantic room. To skip the importance of sealing for the time being and to think broader than one room. Then just use ground without wall, just to visualise the structure of the level.  Then just use prefab walls and other elements (arches, etc.). Just building area's that aren't enclosed. I can always close them at a later point. Maybe this is all very logical from a mappers perspective, but tdm is the first game where I have done any kind of real mapping and I always stop at the start. It just takes too long to make something exciting.
      I want to build something at some point, because over time I accumulated lots of ideas.

      It would be nice to have a link to the forum thread of a mission in download section, rather than having to search for it manually, like on Thief Guild.

      Terribly difficult juggling map designing with work, but I'm still alive and chipping away at something very special. I'm actually making a collaboration of sorts with a friend, I make the map itself and he acts as my "Chief Scope Creep Consultant" that checks in every so often to make sure this project isn't getting out of hand. It's a good system!
