a SERIOUS clusterfuck of errors.

i decided to compile my map, went to play some Halo3, and when i came back and looked at the compile log, i saw atleast 10 different, what looked like, compiling errors.

i need to know how to fix them.

the first one that caught my eye was this:


KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer:  got EOF instead of keyname in file materials/mushroom/lavablend.vmt

worldvertextransition, (*TextureScroll*), 
KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer:  got EOF instead of keyname in file materials/MUSHROOM/LAVABLEND.vmt
worldvertextransition, (*TextureScroll*)

i know this means i screwed up the .vmt material badly, anyone know how to fix it?

anyways, heres the compile log:

also, here’s the vmt code i think the problem is in:


// envmaptint_fix
"LightmappedGeneric"

	"$basetexture" "Mushroom/SinkingSand"
	"$bumpmap" "Nature/sandfloor010a_normal"

		}
	}
}

it’s just a broken material.
You’ve botched the “$bumpTransform” variable, since it takes a matrix rather than an integer. See here:

wardino388-legacy · March 6, 2010, 3:19pm

dosn’t look like i botched it.

when i try to get rid of the ""s in the vmf, it tells me i can’t save it that way.

so i don’t see how i botched it.

in any way…

it dosn’t say it REQUIRES a matrix.

metallics-legacy · March 6, 2010, 3:34pm

It does actually

cough

VDC:

$bumptransform <matrix>
Transforms the bump map texture. Requires DirectX 9 or above.
The default position is “center .5 .5 scale 1 1 rotate 0 translate 0 0”.

   1. center defines the point of rotation. Only useful if rotate is being used.
   2. scale fits the texture into the material the given number of times. '2 1' is a 50% scale in the X axis.
   3. rotate rotates the texture anti-clockwise. Accepts any number, including negatives.
   4. translate shifts the texture by the given number of heights/widths. '.5' will shift it half-way. 

Note:All values must be included!

fine, i’ll try it.

i still got the same error:

also, the BuilVisLeafs part of the compiling proccess is taking so long it stops, and tells me there are too many bytes.

Paste the edited vmt.
For the second error is this part of vvis or Vrad? sound like Vrad to me, if so, raise lightmap scales on large faces with even lighting across them.
