Mapping help for gmod - Developers

[B]Hello, I have a problem with gmod and testing my map, It was working yesterday and my textures are put in the right place, but whenever I try to test my map on gmod, I can look for like a second and then gmod crashes. I don't know the answer to this question so just take a look at the compile log.[/B] _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ** Executing... ** Command: "B:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\bin\vbsp.exe" ** Parameters: -game "B:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\gmodSDK" "B:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\gmodSDK\dev_ragdoll.vmf" Valve Software - vbsp.exe (May 14 2014) 4 threads materialPath: B:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\gmodSDK\materials Loading B:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer\gmodSDK\dev_ragdoll.vmf material "dev/dev_measuregeneric06" not found.

copying your compiling log to interlopers error checker only mentions the missing textures and the lights.rad file,, try using the Hammer in garrysmod/bin folder to see if that compiles better

This will require someone to review your VMF. As this seems as not a compiling issue, but perhaps a problem in the map itself.

[B]I have the .VMF file here, maybe you guys can take a look into it[/B] _____________________________________________________________ [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/tcj5zgu1awxdmdw/dev_ragdoll.vmf?dl=0[/url]

looking at the vmf i'd say that gmod is finding it hard to render the map causing it to crash, replace the dev textures, with ones that will load and rethink the map layout so its not so large, from what i can work out your trying to make what looks like clouds move in the map maybe use a 3d skybox [url]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/3D_Skybox[/url]

The whole point of the map is to use dev textures though [editline]5th August 2015[/editline] OK, another question, I moved all my steam games and it said the gameinfo.txt was missing from my custom config, how do I redirect the location to where it currently is?

is this for vbct ? if you go into the BIN folder ie. Garrysmod/bin theres a file called GameConfig.txt change the directorys listed to match the new positions of the game then try

[QUOTE=taz0;48388104]is this for vbct ? if you go into the BIN folder ie. Garrysmod/bin theres a file called GameConfig.txt change the directorys listed to match the new positions of the game then try[/QUOTE] So Is there any chance I could keep the clouds and the dev textures because that it kinda the feel of the map, I also replaced the textures that are not being seen with the nodraw texture

heres a link to some colourful dev_textures, just when you release your map remember to include them or ppl will just see purple and black missing textures [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/0xx3ajcvtyv4d0z/colorful%20dev%20materials.zip?dl=0[/url] the textures are not mine so dont credit me but theres a read me from the maker :) you can keep the clouds but make them a func_rotating instead of following a path track,, the nodraw textures will just make players see a black void

"Finding it hard to render te map" What does that even mean? Don't give advice on things you do not understand

So is there anyway I can fix this shit?

Seriously, can someone find an actual soultion, I want to start mapping before school starts

[QUOTE=Anal_Febreeze;48411897]Seriously, can someone find an actual soultion, I want to start mapping before school starts[/QUOTE] It has something to do with the really complex func_traintracks you're using try remaking them and making them less complicated.

When they are removed, It still dosent work
