Update. I did not make a lot of progress with the map. Last days I was busy with reducing texturecount, hunting "streched textures" in poolhouse (partly success), hunting weird lighting in the underground levels of the map and making some smaller improvements. So I had just enough time to add some lights and streetlights to the map together with some trees.

Very cool detailed map.

But I have one question.
I am on the map "mansion" do not have a fountain. Instead, only a black shadow.
Why might that be?

Are you using mutons build tool ?

Iirc i had the same problem when using this tool on our family-pc. Please check the console after loading the map - there should be more models missing, if I am right. In this case we should report muton about this.

I can try to upload the complete models.pk3 for a quickfix tomorrow.

Btw, you do a great job in reporting map-bugs. Maybe you should think about compiling the game yourself anyway. This way you could use map-get and ensure to be always up-to-date.

Edit : I missed the log you attached, sorry. It is missing more models, not only the fountain, as suspected (in your pic there are no waterlillys in the small sea, for example). Please tell me if you are using mutons build-tool. I will report then.

Reported here : http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php/topic,3843.msg50527.html#msg50527.

Sorry, but models.pk3 is ~170MB wich I have no idea how to upload (due to the death of megaupload). So I cannot help you this way. Maybe someone else ... ?

As the console prints out

R_FindModel: Could not find: 'models//objects/city/fountain/fountain2.md2

while the model is located in models/objects/city/fountain/fountain2.md2

to me this looks like either the game is using a wrong path or the model is not where it should be.

Can not provide further help, sorry.

I really think there is nothing you can do about this. It is not a problem of the map. You do only notice it on +mansion because I use a lot of models there, wich is not the case on most other maps.

Edit : How about extracting the models.pk3 using 7zip? There should be a /base/models/... directory after doing so Maybe this will help.

Hi

since its possible to compile the game in mingw by calling make
im (the script) not doing things my own way.
The script uses make calls as you would to compile models
Code: [Select]
make models Q= -B -j $ammount_cores*2

and this path bug is a map bug
Code: [Select]
