  • This: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=34959g1&s=4 - consider blinking
    (it is not the bug that model disappears 2nd time - it should, but it shouldn't have reappeared after the first disappearance)

  • I don't see it, but I suppose it is because of bad compile parameters of the map. Was the shader in shaderlist.txt? Was surfaceparm trans used in it?
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • Compiled with test option in net radiant with good lights. That's all, no additional shaders. As I said the problem is not disappearing completely (it should do so), but the blinking thing (he disappeared and suddenly appeared again).

  • Another thing is that the latest dp crashes when capturing video and demo ends.

  • It does not crash for me, and I regularily record demos. Need more information, like a stack trace, and what "latest DP" you used. Are the AVIs written fine (can you seek in them)?

    Also, if you want your videos watched, please post them in a way that does not crash browsers. Can't you simply make an AVI download, or at least post it on a well tested site like youtube (ideally offer both)? I now can't watch it again, it always crashes the flash plugin for me.

  • I posted into this site because it doesn't require registration (not like youtube). I'll rather make the avi to download. I wonder, why every and each site, where I upload smth, crashes your browser in one or another way. It's not MY fault.

    Tested two DP builds (vc and mingw builds), both crashes (might be windows related). I could check in Linux too, but ext2 went down because of constant power outages and I need to recover data first somehow (currently in kernel panic state because of corrupted fstab).

    Anyway, here it is (direct download):
    http://rghost.ru/40401/download/b27d174 ... earing.avi

    I don't get avi's if I don't disconnect before demo ends. I'll post stack trace later if it's ok with you. Will check dp svn again, maybe I got unsuccessful build.

    EDIT: fixed the link.

  • The browser crashing isn't MY fault either, but Adobe's. The Flash plugin for Linux is known as being unstable.

  • It's clearly a badly compiled map, and sv_cullentities_trace failing for that reason.

  • As I said I used test option from netradiant menu. I have no idea what cullentities are.

  • Without the map I can't check anything, but I am absolutely sure you messed up when making the map. What is the shader you use for the transparent walls? Is it in shaderlist.txt?
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS

  • That shader works fine inj other maps. Need the .map source and the .bsp to verify and debug this.
