Are you sure you sure that you didn't get a leak? I got allocblock full when i tried to load eon without realising that the map had a leak and as a result had to render alot more than usual.

Rendy_CZech · September 2004

Bsp log didn't reported any leak. I'm cca on 95% of leaves and clipnodes, other limits are OK. Strange is that the AllocBlock appeard when I run the map without the rad and vis. If I delete suspicious area, everything is OK. I'm now trying to find the texture wich is causing error.

MasterG · September 2004

You should check on suspicious entities.. Some times there are entities in your map that you didn't even put there.. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />
Check the entity report and delete anything you find that you didn't make or that might be causing the problem.

Oh, hey. I noticed in one of your screenshot it says "Embarkation Tunnel". Err well that's a mistake, it should be "Embark<b>ment</b> Tunnel". You don't want something similar to the famous "72th street" mistake that they made in CS_Assault <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

My personal fav. is hera_location_elevator, which somehow still hasn't been changed in the latest version...

DarkATi · September 2004

OK, AllocBlock: FULL, stinks.

Here's the scoop. You have either;

A) A face with a texture scaled down WAY too low OR
B) Lots of textures in your map that are just below the 1.00 scale line.

You say the RR gives you trouble, so look for textures with below 1.00 scale properties. If you don't find any or this doesn't fix the problem then try upping the scaling of textures within the map itself. Basically, this is like a MAX PATCHES error only MAX PATCHES is rad related, you have too much light data, AllocBlock is like a "too many patches. period." error, if that makes sense. Regardless of the light data if you scale down any texture to an ungodly level, like 0.05 or below then you will almost instantly get this error.

As I state in my Common Errors thread, this is not because your level is too big, it only occurs in large levels over small levels because of it's nature, you have more patches, just watch your scaling, look for anything that is too low. And if you haven't already, you can null the outside of your world just incase, even though CSG strips it automatically, it won't hurt, just make sure all your NULLs, CLIPs and ORIGINs are at 1.00 Scaling. And I hope this helps and made sense!

I don't mean to start a strife, but I like embarkment better. Possibly because it sounds more british and therefore sounds more formal. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Crispy · October 2004

Embarkment without question.

1. It sounds better
2. It has less syllables, making it quicker to say and more catchy (in terms of memory and appeal)

Looking good Rendy. Without being one of those all out "kick arse" only reply posters I'll comment on the areas.

Pic 1: A simple and nice feeling. Lighting worked well as I wouldn't expect orange on the right hand side, contasts nicely.

Pic 2: Here you get the feeling of "orange v blue" lighting with some more simple brushwork. I do however think there is a couple of textures out of place on the right hand side of the screenshot (in the blue area lighting.

- Texture at 45Degrees,ceiling to wall, no idea what to replace with, maybe just keep the ceiling go flat to the wall ?
- Texture between blue 'teck' wall and 'bast/vent' wall. Make it the 'bast/vent' wall until the blue ?

Pic 3: Very nice, good use of that under-used under-rated yellow 'bumpy' flooring. I like the new screen aswell and the way the computer console has been architechted.

Pic 4: I just love. Are you sure Lucas Arts aren't going to hire you for vessel design on the upcoming star wars film?

On a side note maybe a few harsh spot lights are needed around but thats for you to decide, I think Pic 3 could definately do with one not too far from the computer console. Would add a sense of angst to the environment. Very good use of repeatative wall patterns too.

EDIT: Is that "ONOS" on the side of that vessel?

It's only joke for Czech players <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

With pic 2 I totally agree, the right side need some "fixage"

EDIT- Btw nice remarks you have got

I wanted the computer screen to be the most glowing object in the room. I've added only soft yellow textlight to prevent "i can't see" problem.

I'd call it original and suiting. It would look terrible if it wasn't bevelled into the ceiling.

Its original of HIM to do it, but I'd rather have the OTHER lights in picture one than that one.

I believe it is a wall texture.

It looks like the "X" is some kind of wall brackets holding the grate shut with what I would imagine to be pipes behind.

the_bERt · October 2004

yes but somehow they confuse my eye, i kinda flashed by those "x"ses and they pull my eye on them
maybe a grid over them would look cool and satisfy me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />
