Title: Sdk skip/hint Issue
Post by: terps4life90 on February 22, 2012, 10:11:16 pm

I am having trouble getting both of them to work properly, they are set up around the map in sdk, but when i compile and play the map it fails to do whats it is supposed too. I typed in mat_wireframe 1-3 and it clearly shows the that map is completely rendered at all times. I would really appreciate help on this.

Did you do a full vis compile?

Also a hint is just that, a hint, it's not guaranteed to create a new leaf, I believe.

That might be the case. Am I to say yes to VIS when compiling?

Ah excellent. Is anything else required to make those two things work, or is that it?

You have to make sure the map doesn't have any leaks. If you see anything along the lines of "**suppressing portal errors**" or something like that in your compile log, then your map has a leak which means lighting won't be calculated correctly and vis won't run at all.

If that is the case, go to "map>load pointfile" and it'll load a little read line that points to where the leak occurred.

Thank you SSL, that was my problem. I had a leak.
