Hi there Marko
its some time back again,
but i decided i wanted to try to make some alternative radar map, just for my own server.

so i downloaded the source from your site, and did a test compile at the lowest setting, but got this error:


it happens after starting the map with the /map 1869_radar in console, that it starts to load, and than this pops up.

but the compile was successful and the .bsp is in the maps folder

you have any clue on what to to with this ?

Hello,
I'm not really sure what could be causing this issue. Here are a few ideas I have to fix it :
  • Did you use sv_pure 0 before starting your map? Sorry for asking this question but it's the most common problem in not succeeding to load a bsp file
  • Are you sure you don't have leaks? Somehow some compile switches let you generate a BSP file even when the map is leaked. This could explain it not loading up in game
    Drop me a line if you need more info on these 2 options

    		ok, the sv_pure 0 worked.


    but now i wonder, my server DO is a pure server, this means i wont be able to run it on my server ?

    		sv_pure means you ask the game engine to look for files outside of your pk3 files. As a result, it's fine to use sv_pure while your map is under development.

    When you want to release your map for real, you will have to package it in a pk3 file to avoid forcing server admins to switch their server to "unpure" mode (which allows all sorts of hacks & crap for clients)
