Ok, I'm almost finished with my map so I wanted to try out compiling my map to see how the lights looked. The compiling went smoothly in only 10 minutes but when quake2 started the game shut down! I tried again, and again, but it still didn't work So I was wondering, is there some way to check my map for bugs? or maybe it's something with my quake2 engine that's wrong? because it sometimes happends with other maps I get here! I bet it's something obvious though but I'm just too stupid to recognize it

I've had the same problem with a few maps... Like The Seeper... by Le Ray. you go to run it and it just completely crashes Q2 and closes the window before you get an error message...
No idea what the cause is though... could be corrupted download in my case. Not sure what would cause it, if you just compiled it yourself...

It's the env files that cause Quake 2 to crash. I have made the env's for "The Seeper", so I have experienced many angry Quakers... The files are converted wrong. Choose another sky.

I doubt it's the sky because I haven't chosen a sky yet! I'm at school now, I'll try it when I come home

It may be a bad texture. Check your textures..see if any are like 512x512. Also...if you have a large map....you may be getting a vismap expansion overflow. That's when you have to many surfaces. Are there any errors reported? Is this for the contest...or can you post the .map file to be examined? A model in a map without it's .pcx skin will crash it , too.

well there are no error reports, that's the friggin problem. I had compiled it earlier and then it worked, but now it doesn't and I haven't added any new textures. Maybe it's the banner I added, me check when home
