[Mapping] Bug with a terrain ingame

[DkD.]

Hi all! I'm a new member on this forum. I'm a french mapper on Jka (sorry for my bad english... ;/ ), and I read for many mounths this great forum, it's a very good job

 

I have a problem with my last map... I've make a big terrain with easygen : 40 000 brushs. But it's an Island, so I have deleted every brushes on the sea ( http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/920649Sanstitre.jpg ), so I have now 22 000 brushs... It's ok for compiling!

 

But ingame, I have a bug : some triangles are too high or too low, like this :

 

 

 

 

But in GTK, this bugs are not existant... I've test to correct map with Bobtoolz, but there is no difference...

 

Any idea?

Thanks for your help!

Probably is some bug of the conversion on BSP format that happen in build process.

[DkD.]

Probably... No idea for debug this?

 

I use q3map2 2.5.16 for the compilation.

I think you can ask to some good mapper like @@Szico VII
i never make terrains, so i cannot help you

I had the same issue some time ago, my guess was, was that the terrain was too big, too complex, so I made a new terrain, which was much simpler:

 

Divisions: 96x96

Widths: 9216x9216

Div.Widt.: 96x96

Max Height: 900

 

and no more issues

 

They suggested me to find those brushes that get higher/lower and remove them in GTKradiant, and rebuild them manually though

That happens if you change the subdivisions (in easygen) by a value that isn't an exact factor of the original subdivision. (or multiples thereof if you're increasing them)

The original subdivisions is based on the size of your starting .bmp, so if it comes out at some weird odd starting number like 507 then just change the dimensions of the starting image by a pixel or two until you have a nice even number.

example.... 500x500 i original subdivisions.

 

If you change it to...250x250, ill be fine.

If you change it to 251x251then it wont.

 

example 2......512x512 original

Change to.....say 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, it'll be fine

Change to say.... 60x60, 254x254 then it wont.

Change subdivisions = change _blocksize?

 

I haved _blocksize 10000 10000 10000 ... I have tried with 8192, 2048 and 1024, but it don't change anything :/

[DkD.]

Or subdivisions in Easygen?

[Asgarath83]

In Easygen It's a structural issue of the terrain itself.

[DkD.]

Yes yes, it's fine!!

It's work so good!!

 

Thanks you Szico Asgarath and Kennith... I was so stranded

[Asgarath83]

No problem
