Doom3's map command not working properly...

Issue: Created a map called cath.map.

Made a backup called cath.backup.map

 

Went into Darkmod and dmaped cath.backup.map

After it was done I used that "map" command on "cath.backup" and I got an error saying that multiple entites had the same name. (pews_left0).

So I opened the .map file for cath.backup.map and changed the entities name to pews_left1 for the copy and now there weren't any copies.

 

So I reopened DarkMod and used the "map" command on cath.backup.map. Got the same error :(

So I tried dmapping again and the upon map got the same error. Hmmm that's weird.

 

I opened the cath.backup.map and there aren't any entities called pews_left0 anymore. Even weirder. So I opened cath.map and changed it's entities that were named the same.

I then went into darkmod and was able to use map command on cath.backup.map. I think that their are some problems with the parsing of the filename so that upon encountering the "." period it assumes that's the end of the filename so attaches .map to the end.

So to doom 3 the maps cath.backup.map and cath.map are the same file.

 

Is this known?

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

that post is a bit confusing although I figured it out, so I don't blame jdude for misunderstanding.

 

jdude, he ended up fixing the supposedly wrong map to make the other one work, thus showing that doom 3 thinks the maps are the same because of the . thing

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
