Hi, I just got a strange error while compiling a map for cod4:

Expression:
    EPairList_HasKey( mapent->epairs, "origin" ) || !strcmp( classname, "worldspawn" ) || !strcmp( classname, "func_group" )

Module:    I:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\bin\cod4map.exe
File:    .\map.cpp
Line:    1538

If I ignore it, it doesn't compile the bsp. If I press try again it crashes and if I skip it it just keeps poping the same message up. -.-

Any clues as to what's causing this? I think it has something to do with me maknig func_groups but I can't be sure.

btw, the map is a port from cod2 and I also used the .gdt file from the cod2 asset manager to import the custom textures. It all works until I compile.

I would assume 'epairlist' to be something about when the compiler check entities for pairs of the same values, well lets pick out the key words from the error,

origin
classname, "worldspawn"
classname, "func_group"

My guess is as good as any but i would think to start about looking for thing like:

Have you given an origin brush a classname (worldspawn or func group)
Have you tried to group the skybox

I could be a long way off here but it's what i would check first, do you have a working backup of your map? you can always refer to that a see what additions have been made then through a process of elimination try to find it that way.

Hi Rasta,

yeah that's probably it. I didn't group the skybox but I think I remember making some func_groups with the 'origin' texture for use as a script_brushmodel later but then didn't use them. I'll check the map.

Well I have a backup from cod2, but there it compiles without question, I guess it's a problem in cod4 using the 'origin' texture for anything other than a script_brushmodel. -.-

Sorry for the double post, can't edit post anymore. -.-

Ok, after chaning the 'origin' texture to 'caulk', nothing was changed. I then tried to ungroup everything except triggers and script_brushmodels. Still didn't work. I then ungrouped EVERYTHING(no filters, selected all and ungrouped). Fixed the epair_haskey thingy. BUT now I have a new error:

Expression:
    comparison

Module:    I:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\bin\cod4map.exe
File:    .\materials.cpp
Line:    188

I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the custom textures from cod2. Right now I selected everything again and used one texture on everything. If it works, I'll have to fix the texture prob, if it doesn't,...well, the time to port the map has just lengthened. :/
