AluminumHaste 1084 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Issue: Created a map called cath.map.Made a backup called cath.backup.map Went into Darkmod and dmaped cath.backup.mapAfter 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? Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather. Link to post Share on other sites
Fidcal 175 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I didn't know personally but it doesn't surprise me. I'd just name it cathBak.map or similar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Komag 20 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I somewhat religiously avoid using periods within file names, it's only asking for trouble with many programs out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh darkradiant's default autosave feature is mapname.autosave.map Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather. Link to post Share on other sites
Komag 20 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 haha, I didn't notice that! I guess just for backups it wouldn't really matter though, but yeah, it would be better to use _ than . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdude 18 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 You likely just have more than one entity with the same name, check again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Komag 20 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdude 18 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Oh hehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
