Hi,

For a while now I've been trying to use over 4 mb's of texturedata. First off I tried it with Zoner's CT, but I still got the error message MAP_MIPTEX etc... :( Then I tried it with Nem's Batchcompiler. I failed again...

I used the -texdata 8192 command with Zoner's CT, with NBC I just filled in the 8192 value's at the correct places.

This is really a darn problem for me as it concerns my latest map: dod_holland (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39875&perpage=15&pagenumber=1) :(
Does somebody have a NBC preset for me? Does anybody know a good tutorial?

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

tomato

PS, sorry Gingerlord, but I just couldn't figure it out on my ow :o

the only thing you need to do on Nem's Batch Compiler is go to the "shared" section, check "texture data" and put "8192" in the box. you dont need to put it in additional parameters.

if you get an error it is most likely not due to the textures (unless you are using more than 8mb)

with my last map i wasn't able to do a wad include over 4 megs...strangely.

you dont want to do a "wad include" anyways, you want to select the exact wads you are using (to the right of the 'wad include' box)

Great!

Siron, can I have your NBC-preset? :D

tomato

sure, but you'll have to remove the includes for veghel, im too lazy. (its just wad files)

I thought I read awhile back that you cannot go over the 5MB texture limit or it causes problems and that is why Dog1 had to go away.

I don't map so I don't know the validity of that statement, but I believe I read that somewhere.

not true, but i wouldn't go over 8mb, just as a good mapping practice. if you have more than 8mb you are probably using too high quality textures or too many textures.

i think you can use up to 8 and a bit, 9mb or more and it gives you errors

Thanks Siron!

I will defenitly try tis preset out! ;)

Thanks a bunch,

tomato :p

Man, why do these things always happen to me!?

I configured NBC just like it should be and it seems to compile my map without problems, except the DOS-window beside the logwindow says there was a problem compiling the map.

But my real issue is I'm trying to get Hammer to compile my maps with 8,192 mb of texturedata...

What am I doing wrong?

somebody? :(

lol ... I posted about you using a Batch compiler in the other thread.

Sorry man I don't use this so I cant help you :kitty:

haha, no problem mate ;)

Hey,

Just for the record: I've solved the problem just by unselecting the changedir command in hammer's expert mode.
Now I don't have to worry about my texture usage in my renewal of dod_holland :)

Cheers!
