lauser Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Help....help.....me..... I just can't get rid of the prt and srf files in my map directory after compiling for the 12 th time. What is wrong I tried correcting the map file in NOTEPAD but that doesn't seem to work..... I have searched for info on the matter.....I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I have gone over and over this map with L J. And we can't seem to get the problem solved........ Any help or suggestion would be great.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattysbox Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 For inquiring minds, what are prt and srf files? And why are they bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge2211 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 The .prt file is a list of the portals in a map, generated by an optional -saveprt option in the call to VIS (this lets you load the portal file in Radiant to see where the map is splitting). A .srf file is used for surface lighting in q3map2 compiles. Neither is necessary after a compile is complete, and neither is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Judge Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 An other little add-on. The .prt file is generated by the BSP phase of the compiling process. It is for the VIS phase which deletes it normally, but with that -saveprt switch you can prevent this deletion. So if you have the .prt file you have two options: 1. you used that -saveprt switch and everything is OK and/or 2. there is a leak in your map L_A_User: every time you send me that map file I fix it for you. What are you doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauser Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 You know Leslie I really appreciate you fixing my map. But I have to go in again and fix it myself yet again. I can't help what my computer does to the game engine or to the map. When I build a map I try to make as little mistakes as possible. But my comp. just wont let me do what I want to do. Believe me when I say I can map like Wedge2211 or Livingdeadjedi!! I just need the right tools!! If my comp wont compile properly ther is nothing I can do. I guess Radiant programs wont let me make great maps....... If I can't get Radiant to do what it's supposed to then I will have to stop mapping!! Thanks again L J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
