Q3Mod SurfaceParms Problem.

[Perle]

Hmm. What could it be?

[^misantropia^]

*shrugs*

Beats me.

[Perle]

How is your commandline for bsp?

[^misantropia^]

Nothing special: q3map2 -custinfoparms mapname.map

[Perle]

Hmmm.

Custinfoparms.txt in script folder?

[^misantropia^]

Yep. BTW:

Probably not, because then your dump would have multiple "entering scripts/custinfoparms.txt (x)" lines (where x is a digit).

That might be a linux-only thing. If you have a custinfoparms.txt in your baseq3 folder, try moving it out of the way.

[Perle]

Installed it all again from scratch. Not working. Shit.

[bludshot]

I'm somewhat of a noob myself on q3 coding, but I suggest you start from scratch and make a tiny mod where all you do is make 1 new surfaceparm. Try to get that working. Then add the rest of them, if anything you do there makes it not work then you will know what the problem is. Not to mention, if you couldn't get the 1 new surfaceparm to work in the new tiny mod, then you could focus on getting that to work instead of getting it to work in q3rally which could have a bunch of other factors.

[Perle]

Yeah. Could give this a try.

[Perle]

Nothing works. Silly shit.

Just an idea ..
I checked the q3map2 code fastly, and it seems to look for custinfoparms.txt in its VFS .. so if you have any of these in a pk3 - I bet its the culprit.

[Perle]

In it´s VFS? In my SVN Version i don´t work with pk3. Only folders and files.

[ailmanki]

yes, but.. well depending on system, setup, configuration it will check various folders for its Virtual filesystem...
for example .quake3/ as far as I know - well I couldn't think of something else which could cause the problem you got.

[Perle]

Okay. I understand. So where should i look after duplicates of surfaceparms.txt?

[ailmanki]

Hm. Sorry I have not time and will to understand that VFS stuff ...
As far as I know.. it does check by default all pk3's.. So for linux:
./q3a/baseq3/*
first it will read the files residing in file system, then it will 'extract' the pk3's to its VFS, if you specified fs_game, it will also look inside fs_game folder lastly.

I am not sure but fs_basepath should solve this problem, with a installation to work with - and one to play with..

Maybe this is all wrong, but it would make sense if its the problem you got..

[Perle]

Okay. Will try this. Thanks.
