cm_inlinemodel: bad number

Post by gForce »

OK, not sure if this is the right place to post this. I'm very new to mapping and have very limited knowledge. So far my map loads OK, but for some reason, since my last changes, the map won't load and I get a cm_inlinemodel error. I've tried deleting all my changes and the message is still showing. I've tried googling to see if there were any useful tips but alas, nothing.

Any ideas....??

Total brushes: 7261
Total entities: 72

func_door : 9
func_group: 26
info-player_deathmatch: 1

Do you have any origin brushes?

Edit: To clarify, look for the origin shader in your shader pane. Make sure that you're only showing those in use. Likewise, have you added a bunch of doors or platforms recently?

There are a couple of things that can cause this nasty little error. See if one of the following helps you:

A) One cause may be that you have a brush with the origin texture that is not attached to a func_entity of some sort. In other words, you have an origin brush in your map that is not associated with some sort of entity. You can select an origin texture on one of the faces of one of your origin brushes and hit shift+a. This will select all of the origin brushes in your map. You can then hunt down the one that is not inside of an entity of some sort and delete it.

B) The other possibility is that you have busted the brush model limit (Not sure what the Quak3 limit is, but I would guess it to be 256). A brush model is an entity that is a brush complex. Examples are func_rotating clusters of brushes, Func_pendulums, Func_statics used for platforms etc. You may just have too many brush entities.

I hope this helps.

My question is, why do you have 2 threads on the same thing?
