Hi All,

We're aware that maps have been losing some saved contents or replacing content. If some of you have a map using default media when either.

1) Saved media isn't being kept.

2) Media is being replaced with other media after lightmapping.

Please email me an FPM with full instructions of what is happening and a step by step. Ideally I'd like to see some videos showing it happening (youtube please).

Many thanks,

SC

As an update to this, if users aren't able to replicate this consistently but have experienced this, please also post here so we can get a global picture of the problem.

hi,



yes this is happening to me,it will remove about half of what i have placed and its always stuff that i put down last.

would some screenshots of this help in any way?(before and after)

also it will flatten ground out thats underwater.

Hi,



I'm only interested in the disappearing entities at the moment. Are you able to make a video of before and after? i.e. place some items, save the level and then show the map afterwards as one whole process? If so, could you please do this and upload to youtube as unlisted and then please send me the link.



Bandicam is a good free screen recorder.

This has been happening to me as well. I have been working with Wizard of ID's sewer pack and for some reasons the corner models keep disappearing when I save. Also Legacy models will disappear regardless of changing the FPE file settings. The only thing that seems to help is locking the model with the widget and this seems to allow the model to save and remain in the level

Can anyone who is having this issue prepare a video please, showing the before map, the save process and the after map?

SC

i will try and sort out a video.(how to make a link to the video?)





EDIT:its now not doing it!!!!

If you can replicate it, please upload the video to youtube and supply me with the link.

Thanks,

SC

Saved media isn't being kept.

Same problem in Windows XP-SP3 and Windows 7 Ultimate.

See the video below...

Ok I have this missing entities problem and can provide you with a video so you can re-produce it. It happens every time. It happens on my competition entry (which I have already emailed the FPM to you). As you can see in the video, when you delete all the slab entities around the outside of the map, the 4 same rocks vanish and completely disappear... it doesn't matter if you use a new save name for the level it always happens. I hope this can help you in tracking the issue down. Let me know when you have watched the youtube video and I will then take it down off my YouTube.

@Old Larry,



Thank you very much, that's a good sample.



@Duncan Peck,



Thanks as well, both of these are very useful.

And now another error when I try to save stand alone game:

"entitybank path not found"

but haw I put the entities in my map if that path not exist ?!?

In test mode work fine, the error appear just when I save stand alone game.

P.S. Please see the pictures

Later edit: I've make a fresh install of the FPSCreatorReloadedBETA-1009 and I gained the same path error, like in photos from previous post.

Any idea please ?

In which file is written the entitybank path ????
Error is: "Could not find path at line 16610" !?! - see the photos from the previous post please.

It sounds as if the media hasn't been transferred over to the standalone. This is most likely because it doesn't follow the correct format for Reloaded.



I would assume from the screenshots that you are using a lot of FPSC Classic media, which in many cases isn't compatible with Reloaded, but will function in test game.



@Everyone



We think we've got enough information to fix this now, many thanks.



SC

When you can fix this entity path issue?

@Old Larry,

It sounds as if the media hasn't been transferred over to the standalone. This is most likely because it doesn't follow the correct format for Reloaded.

I would assume from the screenshots that you are using a lot of FPSC Classic media,

I tested an trying to save Stand alone game just with the entities from FPSCR v.1009, after an clear install, and was the same error under windows XP Professional with SP3 and Windows 7 Ultimate.

@Old Larry,

Email me a level using just default media and I'll look into it.

SC

I partially solved my problem this way: I've removed from the map the last entities used, one by one, and I saved stand alone after every remove entity. I spent a lot of time on this, but now my new map in the v 1009 works.

NOTE 1: Please DO NOT USE ANY ".tga" file, the FPSCR doesn't know to import this type of files when you save them in stand alone (the models appear in black color) so, USE ONLY THE ".dds" FILES !!!

Also, don't forget to use that "whatever_D.dds" file in the "visualinfo" fpe too.

NOTE 2: The FPSCR staff must put back the "it is objective" option on the entities, because we still can't make a game with objectives !



To have an idea about the new animate gun turret, civilians, waterwheel and many other stuffs, just watch the video below.

Many thanks to all the people that helped me with scripts, entities or advice.

FPSCR community has good professional people.

nice level, lots of work and entities in that, good to see it all working pretty nicely

Thanks @Smallg

I still waiting to can use the objective in game -condition to finish the level, like I've writen in the previous post.

Hi! This is my first time here and i thought i wouldn't need much support but after one day work i found a major problem in FPSCR wich makes it impossible to work for me.
i'm sorry, i don't have a screenshot right now but i'll discribe my problem.

i tried to build a cruise ship level. i made the flooring for the ground floor with a concrete plate. i put quite a lot of these concrete plates in there and after one hour of work i saved (i saved before already) and suddenly my map was empty again!
i was kinda angry and i tried it again. i built the floor segment again, always saving every five minutes, everthing was alright.
then i made the walls wich took me about one hour again and when i clicked on SAVE all of the walls were gone again.

what can i do to avoid this? is there a combination of things i'm not allowed to do when i save? because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

i'm kinda devastated because i can not work with FPSCR without having a bad feeling like when i save everything could be away and i can NOT be undone!!!!!

kind regards, nunc
