Sounds as if the script were missing some paths and thus unable to load all the map entities.
Assuming you indeed have your map entities organized in subfolders, you could try and open up your main script, then add some path "xyz" statements at its top, where xyz is the name of the subfolder with all the map entities in it.




This didn't seem to have any effect:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// A6 "Walk Thru" Project wdl:
// Created by WED.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// The PATH keyword gives directories where template files can be found.
path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio6\\template_6"; // Path to A6 templates directory
path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio6\\template_6\\code"; // Path to A6 template code subdirectory
path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio6\\template_6\\images"; // Path to A6 template image subdirectory
path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio6\\template_6\\sounds"; // Path to A6 template sound subdirectory

Nope, I haven't had any problems like that, but then again I'm not using map entities most of the time. If you like, you can PM me a download link to your project and I could take a look at it, I still think it's a camera.clip_near , camera.clip_far issue, eventhough it could be something else.

By the way, not that it really should matter, but preview mode uses the standard amount of nexus, which is not 500, unless I've missed a new feature.

Cheers




I tried changing the nexus to various sizes, and it didn't help. It did indicate at one point though when i set it too low that I needed space for 750 entities, but that was the only semi-meaningful message I saw.

Do you know where I'd be able to upload about 700MB worth of data to?

Seriously, anyone, any ideas? This level doesn't want to load regardless of what directories are referenced, and I've tried a bunch of different variations of the script file, and nothing works. It loads fine in preview mode, and loads fine with no level script, but as soon as I attach a level script--any of the A6 template scripts, the level will not load properly.

I've uploaded the level files, so if someone at Conitec is curious to see what's going on and would like to take a peek (Doug or JCL?) I'd be happy to PM the download link...

I'd still assume that there be something wrong with the paths. Although your setup looks quite okay, I'd at least have a try and simlpy copy all the map-entities into the same folder your level is in. Then simply open up your .WMP in Notepad and do a quick search-and-replace to correct all the map-entities' file paths. Open your level in WED again, recompile it completely and finally have another try.
Currently, that's the only reason I could think of... if this problem were related to the nexus, A6 sure would spit out an error message.

I checked the .wmp file, and all the folder/directory paths appear to be fine. All my entities and models are in the same directory as my level file already anyway.

Alright, I suppose that's out of the range of possibilities then.
The only other things that currently come to my mind are materials and origins. If you have any material effects (i.e. FFP effects or shaders) applied to your entities, I'd try to disable them in order to track down the problem. As for the origins: You might want to check the origins of your entities - if they are in a position to close to the camera, I think it likely that the whole entity might be clipped. I suppose I don't have to go into detail since you seem to know 3dgs's basics
But if I were you, I'd make sure all the origins are in the right place.

Currently, that's all I can come up with... keep us posted

I don't have any effects or shaders applied anywhere, so I guess I can check the origins thing, though there are plenty of entities that *should* be visible then according to that theory, since the camera is far enough back that it shouldn't be touching anything anyway (and I've tried from various camera positions already, with no effect)...

Regarding the origins issue, you could also try to find out whether fiddling with your camera's clip range does anything... I'd probably set a really huge clip range just to be sure nothing gets clipped.

Okay, I installed the 6.50.4 update, and now when I try to run the level with a script file attached, I actually get an error message before I see the messed-up 3D engine window view. It says "Malfunction W1508" and "Can't load". It doesn't say what it can't load, though according to the manual supposedly I'm trying to load a saved game or an info file from another game/project, but I don't see how that's possible since I'm using the basic walk-through script file as my level's main script file, unaltered. Can this error mean anything else? Is it indicative of some other error?

Well, this might be a long shot but, do you have a map entity inside of a map entity? The engine will (strangely) spit that error out if you do.
