PF_setmodel null Remains at console without starting level. |
| An entity that requires
association with a brush, Such as a func_wall, func_door,or trigger_once
has no brush associated to it. N.Weer |
| This can happen if you make a bush entity, like a door or exploding box,
then set the content to detail. I had it occur only when I compiled the
level using the -nodetail option in this case. The brush didn't exist in
-nodetail, so it returned this error. A.Stackpole |

Ran out of faces for bmodel Happens when You trigger a func_water. |
| The problem seems to have been
directly related to having a single large surface of water moving *and breaking complex
solid surfaces as it goes*. My func_water fills up a tall, large cylindrical tank with a
large pillar in the center and various lights, pipes, and catwalks cris-crossing the tank
space. When I triggered the func_water, one large face (radius < 512) was seen moving
up, "filling" the tank with water. When the face broke any complex surface
(still not sure exactly what circumstances caused this -- it was rather inconsistent,
really), the console would echo the message "ran out of faces for bmodel" and I
would see the occasional visual artifact on the water surface. It seems that a large
moving face like that must be broken up into smaller *on the fly* because that is the only
explanation I can think of. It seems that if you want to make a func_water that will cover large areas and break surfaces along its journey, you must put its initial position somwhere where the visible face (unless someone gets *really* creative, the top :) is already broken into the most possible faces by BSP. I simply raised my column of water to the top position where there were far more solids breaking the surface and set the entity spawnflags to START_OPEN with a direction of down. This made the entity behave the same, sans the error messages. Woohoo. Freznor |
| droptofloor:ammo_bullets startsolide at: (-152 -1712 -224) |
| Happens when you have placed
an entity such as the noted sample of ammo_bullets, or an item_health, etc too close to
the floor so that part of it is actually down within the floor. Often that item will then
not actually appear within the level. Note the coordinates and then go back to your
editor, find the item and lift it about 8 unites and should be ok. N.Weer |
| com_sprintf: overflow of 47 in 32 |
| This is a text overflow
message, like when you add a map name in the worldspawn that is TOO long, as indicated
above, you are only allocated 32 characters, but this message says 47 characters
entered... Gary |
| CM_InlineModel:BadNumber |
| This was caused by not doing a
quick or full QBSP3. I thought that since I was only creating new entities that I could
just compile with Entity Only. WRONG!! R. Merrick |

ERROR: Bad surface extents |
| I had a friend that made a level that crashed Q2 each time he tried to load it. |
| Well one thing my friend and I
found was that the map NEEDS a worldspawn message. His map was seemingly perfect, yet
crashed for days, until he "named" it with worldspawn. Worked fine. Soupy |
| If you are using Uppercase letters for Animated
textures in .MAP file, that problem will occur. Animtexture names MUST
be on lowercase letters! For the example, E1U1/BTACTMACH1 shall be

Error: Cannot initialize (this is a pop-up window before it can get intoQuake2) |
| Not really an editing problem. It is usually
caused when you try to use an old gamex86.dll that is not compatible with the new
version(s) of Quake2. PsycoMage |

Not really a startup error: It always happens in the same place: after
climbing on elevator, striking a trigger_once that, in turn, enables a
trigger_multiple. Quake 2 crashes and, at the console, it says: error: floor area_r reflooded |

ERROR: GL_Upload8: too large ====ShutdownGame==== Can't "cmd", not connected |
| It seems that there is a hard coded
model/skin size for items, at least for glQuake2. Odds are you are dealing with
a custom model that has exceeded the limits. My unofficial source tells me:
Any skin larger than 512x256 causes the error. I understand
that this is only caused by 3dfx processor based cards. There is a hard limit of 480 tall on the skins. If you place a skin taller than that you receive a Skin taller than 480 error message. N.Weer |

sz_GetSpace: overflow WARNING: msg overflowed for Envious Netchan_Transmit: dumped unreliable Envious is my multiplayer character name. The errors appear to continuously scroll in the console. They appear when I enter a door from one particular side. I have a func_areaportal in this door, and I was going to remove the areaportal just to see if this had anything to do with it (haven't done it yet). I also had the errors appear at another door (also with an areaportal). I had to resize some brushes in that area for alignment purposes, and now that door doesn't give the errors anymore. When the errors occur, the screen goes to a cross between a hall of mirros effect and an earthquake of sorts. That's the best way I can see to describe it. You can't move while it's happening, either, only look around. Then I get the Netchan_Transmit error and the view jumps to an area nearby where the error happened. |
