map2dif error - hand made map

by Fred Harris · in Torque Game Engine · 05/02/2002 (12:19 pm) · 2 replies

Hey all.

I've made a map creator that makes corridors from a set of xyz points. There's not much documentation on the map format, but from what I did find, I managed to get it working.

Problem is, when using map2dif I get the error:

FatalISV::createBaseWinding: Bad face on brush. < 3 points. DMMNOTE: Handle better?

The map comes up fine and can be edited in both WC and Quark. Just the conversion is screwy.

Example map file is at
http://www.chem.unr.edu/~murray/4th-dimension/qmine2.map

Any help would be great.

If you have two vertices that are approx. one unit apart but not integer values, it's possible the roundoff could make both vertices become the same point and you lose an edge --resulting in that error message. This happens with brushes that are too thin.

This isn't a bug...looking at your map file, all the vertices are floating point. Currently, they must be integer. So I think what I said above is what's happening. Change your code to spit out the map with integers.

Ahh, forgot about that. Okay, I scaled it up by 100 and (int)ed it, and it seems to work now.

Thanks for the help. (I posted in the wrong forum, btw. Just couldn't figure out how to delete the post.)
