Problem Running My Map

Smurf · April 2003

I can no longer load my map up in game, been working on it for a little while (nothing fancy, just trying to learn what I can) and I have been able to load it up fine in NS. But now after scrapping a small part of it I can't, it still compiles fine (no error message) but when I try to load it up in game I get what's in the picture below. I can load standard ns maps fine, only mine gives me the error and just stops loading. Anybody have some idea what the problem is?

Confused · April 2003

it is running rad twice
look there at teh bottom.
but that may be a pasting error

Try fixing your leaf portal saw into leaf error first, sometimes errors cause others <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Smurf · April 2003

Whenever I compile with hammer it gives that last extra message of running rad twice (or whatever the last one I run is), don't know why but I usually compile in the ZHLT compiler GUI (didn't for that one cause I'm lazy). Also I fixed the leaf saw into portal and tried again, same problem =\

If you look closely, you'll see

BAD -1:svc_bad
Host_Error: Bad String
executing: listenserver.cfg

In your console output screenshot, and the errors come right after the line logging entry into listenserver.cfg.

This might not be a map problem -- could be server settings. svc_bad signifies an invalid packet transmission, and I've seen some sites (Snark Pit) relate the problem to bad entity key values, but I'd check your listenserver.cfg file first. It could be that you have 32 bad packets in your log because the server hadn't started actually transmitting yet and the cache was initialized to zeros.

If you install the v1.04 server patch, it should overwrite your current listenserver.cfg file as part of the install, which would be one way to check if that's the problem. This is more a stab in the dark than solid advice, but it seems logical given the console output you posted.

Lemme know what happens <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

recompile with -chart on all the tools and post the new log.

There's another thread on the bad host string error <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=29913' target='_blank'>here</a>.

Looks like Supernorn has the solution.
