<div class="IPBDescription">Problem</div> ok i got this problem while using batch compiler so hopefully one of you have come across it before and know what to do. Here's what it says:

Now from what i think of it it is saying this i have the same text written twice in the lights.rad file, if this is the case i do not and those are the only lines i have in the rad folder. Does it matter if they are on the same lighting amount like 500 eg ?

texture names are too long.
it cuts after some letters so it becomes the same name.

In hammer you can change all textures into other textures by theyr name.

If that's all from the same compile, it looks like it's reading the file twice and reparsing all 6 lights in the file... not sure why it'd be doing that.

Parasite · September 2003

It does that for me too, I think if you "link" a .rad file from batch compiler, as well as have it in the correct place for the tools to read it automatically...it reads it twice.

It doesnt seem to harm anything, and it only takes the compiler 1/2 a second to report the error and ignore the redundant content.

Ahhh OK, that makes sense -- and it wouldn't hurt anything, since the definition is the same each time.

Kalopsia · September 2003

since i have seen that when i join a team sometimes the map crashes.

Kalopsia · September 2003

ok i removed it from running lights.rad file and it works ok now, but like before it is still crashing. Heres the compile process:

I don't see anything there that would predict a crash in-game... is there any error message when you join the team or does it just crash to desktop?

usually it will freeze when joining but i have had a time where it went to the desktop.
