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.

      Things have been so bad these days for me...
      Just a year ago, I've been feeling dizzy, I thought it was nothing, today's stress, that type of thing, went to sleep...Still dizzy! 9 more days dizzy, went to doctor (I would have gone on the first day if NOT for the long appointment time)
      Said it may be Neck Dizziness...I did exercises for 6 months, no changes.
      Went to a Physical Therapist, went to another, no changes.
      I've asked my doctor for a full check this time.
      I hated yesteryear so much due to personal reasons, this year might be the same.
      To be brutally honest, I'd rather have cancer or/and chronic pain than suffer dizziness any second longer, especially when nothing helps.
      Hard to enjoy Thief when you're dizzy so I was hoping this year, Winter will be best for me.

      Hello mappers and taffers! 

      Are you still out there? It is so calm here these days and I am afraid this is no good sign.
      Proof me wrong, tell your best friend (=me), that you are still here and that you will not go away!

      Happy Labour Day, my taffing taffers & hard working mapping friends!
      And remember the poor souls who, within the Inventors’ organization, labor under Jonus’s yoke to ensure the success of that very guild! Always remember the hard workers!

      Is there a script command to make a screenshot?
      I just though it could be interesting to be able to create a screenshot at a certain point in time. Then use that screenshot possibly in a debrief.
      I guess the second question is: Can you use a (in-game made) screenshot in a (debrief) gui?
