vvis error Created 19 years ago2005-09-11 16:40:14 UTC by Propaganda

I started a small map, on compile I had a leak, and got no errors other then that. I fixed the leak and now my compile takes 5 minutes, mostly on vvis, when it used to take 30 seconds. I get a windows error on vvis, the portals sections.anyone seen this or have any ideas?

No info on your specific error. Sorry.

But the compile with the leak was quicker because vvis didn't run at all because of the leak error. I.e., this error wasn't encountered until you fixed your leak.

Yeah but is this happen to everyone on vvis? It's a windows problem I am thinking, but I don't know why.

It's something in your map, this is VALVe/HL2's way of saying something is wrong. Unfortunately, it's very obscure. Alt-P and look for any bad connections, faces, etc.

It's not even an application-handled error, it's a Microsoft Visual C++ error. You must have seen it before with Explorer, cash machines, etc. It's immensely obscure, and could be pretty much anything.

Nah it's Hammer alright and I believe I have had that error when I make the 'WORST' map in the world with no R_speed precautions and such and such...

I promise you if you try another map it will not show that message

Actually, SM is correct, habboi. That's not an error message that was built into Hammer. That's a stock error message that's part of Microsoft's dlls to handle processor faults.

I get it once in a while in MVC++ for weird stuff, like putting bracketed code in a header file and not following it with a semi-colon.

Ive never seen it, but I get a similar error when I use hl2 too much (reload same map after changing it without exiting) but I just hit Enter and restart HL2

i get that "oftern" with the levels you get to drive the buggy. (like every few min)
i seen it in an arcade on need for speed: underground too.
no idea what can be done about it however

i have a problem like that too.. im making a cave section of a map and it goes smooth until .vvis. then it takes about 1/12 hours to compile the vis on a section that is only about 20ft. long. wth?? then i try to compile with fast vis. then i get this.

heres a screenshot of it in Hammer.

sorry typo.

Those stalagmites are probably not func_detail, right? Turn them into func_details. Your problems will likely vanish.

ill try that! hey long time no see Captain P.

it worked! thanks captain P.

No problem.

Next time, try to keep your base architecture simple. Anything that's somewhat complex or oddly rotated and isn't necessary for VIS blocking is best put into func_detail. Saves VIS a lot of work and it avoids most problems like these.

Nice idea, a cave defusal map. But that path looks very narrow. Might widen it a bit to leave room for more players...

Bj I knew that part but my point was that Hammer was telling it to do it ^^

Anyway good job Captain, you beat me this time!

Actually, habboi, Hammer had nothing to do with the error.

It's a system message generated due to a fault while vvis was running.

Gah fine but I get that error due to hammer and VVIS errors...

Right, discussion's over now, right?
