K, I finally tested it properly on my PC. The only errors I'm getting are the teleporter and the missing sky. Adding textures/skies/meth_clouds.jpg fixed the sky, and deleting all instances of novlcollapse in sfx.shader worked (obviously you only need to remove the one in the shader you're using). The weapon markers work, as do the bounce pads. This means there's some sort of conflict or issue on your end, and it might be due to the names of the shaders. I recommend taking out only the ones you need, and making a completely new shader file containing just the ones you use. It's never a good idea to overwrite baseq3 shaders, under any circumstance (related to level design, at least). |

There were level packer tools out there, IIRC they also put together a comprehensive shader for that map... i.e. ignoring default id shaders and putting only those into the file that the .map file references. Been very long since I used such a tool though. |

Been very long since I used such a tool though. There were and there are, im using the one included in Q3MAP2TOOLZ. But i dont have any knowledge about its Shader-functions / and / or shader related stuff at all. For me this tool does a pretty good job! EDIT: I took a look at the generated .shader file from that tool and its a total chaos. |

It's been such a long time using that tool for me, since I tend to experiment in the main shader file of the respective map, and also add a lot of comments... I seem to recall that comments don't survive... other than that... I'd expect the shaders in the resulting new file to be alphabetically ordered... maybe that's just wishful thinking. Not sure what choas is for you... fixing the order of the shaders to your liking should be a quick job, and then you know what shaders the map needs for sure. Note... I do this only once... and then never again, i.e. updating the map's shader file manually from then on. |

I think my problem is that im not "that" into shaders. Looking at that files can be scary to people with absolutely no programming and scripting background like me. I really have to play around with shaders alot more. Playing around = learning |

Technically I am a programmer, and still have problems with shaders... oh the irony of it all ... though a bit of source formatting/arranging should be doable. |

So I went ahead and did a fresh install of quake 3 and I was able to find the errors KittenIgnition mentioned, so all textures should be working on the map now. Not sure what happened to my other install but from now on I will be doing testing in the clean install, thanks everyone for all the help! AndyW wrote: GOOD NEWS MAN! I was able to fix it, now you have Bot-support Sir! I dont know what caused the error so i started deleting stuff, lights, some items, lava and Voila- it worked. Some items were stuck into walls. I deleted the teleporter-links. You have to rebuild some small things that i killed but i did only some changes to the Jumper and deleted some curves and seald up stuff... And removed the box I also removed the sky-texture for testing, here you go! I'm still having some issues with bot support, I tried sliming a lot of the non-visible brushes down, doing a brush cleanup, removing the curves, adding bot clips to stairs and the bars, pretty much everything you did in the file you sent me aside from removing the lava and bars but I still get the "Tried parent" error. So I'm kinda stumped, I'm not sure why the lava would cause the error I could maybe understand the bars but I put a bot clip on both of them and still got the same result. Download Also on a slightly unrelated note does anyone know how to get bot support for a map in quakelive? The only thing I was able to find on it was a script cityy posted on the quakelive forums but I couldn't seem to get it to work. Code: <path to bspc.exe> -bsp2aas <path to your compiled map.bsp> -forcesidesvisible -optimize

The last things i deleted was Lava stuff and some Lights -then it worked Hmm.. If you want PM Map again, I will try to fix the Error without the big chaos i caused last time |

Use 2.1i. It can build the AAS of your map, due to it having FAR less "tried parent" errors, and the map limitations are increased, that's why I switched to it. |
