Func_detail objects aren't showing up in-game. - Developers

I have a really nice map going. Only issue is the compiling. When I compile I get 1 of two errors. A. It compiles fine, but all func_detail objects are gone.

What props are you trying to render with prop_detail?

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;35710590]What props are you trying to render with prop_detail?[/QUOTE] I have no props at all. Entirely brush based.

God...sorry...being blind today :)

This is such a random problem. I NEED HELP! it's for a contest, so I need to get this squared away quickly. D:

Tried running it through the vanilla compile programs?

is r_drawfuncdetail set to 1?

[QUOTE=Firegod522;35713034]is r_drawfuncdetail set to 1?[/QUOTE] Yes, but what I'm worrying about is this [CODE]Stack overflow in neighbors[/CODE]

Can you send it over, via PM and I'll take a look?

I could also take a look at it if you send me the vmf

I suspect this is a problem when it comes to your curves. [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3779442/Screenshots/Youre_doing_it_wrong.png[/t] You may not have carved, but you are wasting faces, and when you do that on all of those curves, and func_detail them, you keep the faces that are touching. [t]http://optimization.interlopers.net/optimization/carve.PNG[/t] You should line your brushes up such as in this picture: [t]http://i.imgur.com/lcdj2.jpg[/t] The "correct?" section is correct.

:D using my picture haha.

I realized that when looking over the curves, so I cut them out then compiled. Still got the issue.

I have been having a similar compiling issue for quite some time, and have yet to find anything stating a solution so far. (Sorry if this is old enough to be considered a bump.)

I had this error a few days ago and I found out that a staircase was the culprit. I just rebuilt it and the error was gone. There was also a member on another forum who had the exact same problem and solved it in the same manner so it's worth a shot. Hope you get this sorted out.
