Entities question/cmpile problem

[crazy]

Does anybody know what operation 73 is and how this could compile my level, because this comesup! (PlaceEntities: No valid entities for operation 73) but i do have entities in the level, before it wouldn't load of the leaks but sealed it with the box

Usually means you don't have a PlayerStart, PlayerSetup,
or EnvironmentalSetup entity. 1st 2 are mandatory, maybe all 3.

[ardentcrest]

Not all 3 just the first two,

PlayerStart, PlayerSetup,

are needed

[AndyCR]

are you sure you placed the entities and did not simply make them in template mode? (did you hit enter?)

I did what you what you sayed but know i get this]
Num Detail Brushes : 0
Num Total Brushes : 104
--- Remove Hidden Leafs ---
PlaceEntities: No valid entities for operation 74.
Failed to remove hidden leafs.
Compile Failed: GBSP_CreateBSP encountered an error, GBSPLib.Dll.
Could you tell me what this means.

[GD1]

no valid entitys for operation 74 means you are missing one of the entity trinity that you have to have to start the level. you need a playerstart entity, a playersetup entity, and as good practice you need an environmentsetup entity. all of these must be placed inside the sealed level with no leaks.

Thanks for telling me what operation 74 was but colud you tell me what operation 77 means.

Ya'll may think I'm bonkers, but make sure your entities are inside the skybox.

[AndyCR]

are you 100% sure you have all the entities required? it'
s still saying you don't even have one single entity.

see this section in the tutorial found at http://www.freewebs.com/andycr/realityfactory1.htm :

...The next step is to see your level in-game. However, to do that, Reality Factory must have two "gizmos" in your level; they are called Entities. You add entities much as you added the room. For starters, click the drop-down menu that says ActMaterial. There are a dizzying amount of entities to choose from; for now, select PlayerSetup. Hit Enter on your keyboard. This entity tells the player how to behave, what view to use, etc. More on this later. Now, select the drop-down list again, and choose PlayerStart. Click the floor of your room (you may have to right-click scroll around to see the floor), and you should see a lightbulb thing move there. hit Enter once more. you should see it change to a box saying Player Start. You havejust told RF where to place your player when you begin the level. Now, you are basically done;...

I did what you guys said,(hike1, ardentcrest, AndyCR, GD1, and steven8 the 2nd) told me to do but ever time the operatrion goes up, and i have too put up to 3 player starts, 3 player setups, and 3 eviroment setups. know its giving me this operation.

But really thanks for before, for helping me out with the problems/question that i had!

failed to remove hidden leaves

if you have all the needed entities in the level, then that statement tells you that there is a) a leak in the level, or b) an entity is outside the levels bounds. and since you are being told that no there are no valid entities for operation (insert random 2-digit number starting with 7) then it is probably B and the entity that is outside of bounds is probably one of the three required entities.

here's what i want you to do, start with a new level, make a simple hollow cube and place the three needed entities inside of it. compile and it should work.

and, just a note, i'm not sure if this is true or not, but if i remember right, having more than one playersetup or envsetup can also cause a crash or compile error.

PlaceEntities: No valid entities for operation 86.
Failed to remove hidden leafs.

Does anbody know what operation 86 is because i started all ove with the main three things to start a level, but know it won't let me compile it.

[QuestOfDreams]

You are always producing the same error, it doesn't matter if the compiler writes 73, 74, 86 or any other number. The important thing is
PlaceEntities:
This tells you that you don't have any entities in your level or the origin of an entity you added to the level is not valid. Invalid origin means that the entity is either outside the level or inside a solid brush.

[QuestOfDreams]

if you have all the needed entities in the level, then that statement tells you that there is a) a leak in the level

if he would have a leak he would get the following message:

Code: Select all

*****************************************
*           *** LEAK ***                *
* Level is NOT sealed.                  *
* Optimal removal will not be performed.*
*****************************************

I did what you guys said and started all over but it keeps giving me an operation? or just a leak
i need help i tried samples, walkthroughs but it keeps on doing the samething!
question- if you put all three and the level design togehter wont that count as awhole shape so then wouldn't the operation come up, and whats the best what tomake sure you dont have any leaks in the levels that i make:?:
