Possible issues and questions. #11

Hi woot! :)

I recently started getting back into GL to play with some friends, and I noticed a few things while generating maps. Sven 5.14

  1. Bug:

The first issue is "FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Host_Error: Backwards mins/maxs in entity at X-1279.00 Y464.00 Z-1034.00: 9999.00/-9999.00", with the same error on a few other maps. The one quoted is from " that I have generated.

Digging into the ripent that entity is the following: 

{
"origin" "-1279 464 -1034"
"rendercolor" "0 0 0"
"sequence" "37"
"angles" "0 269 0"
"body" "1"
"pose" "2"
"is_player_ally" ""
"displayname" "sat_globe scientist_dead"
"classname" "monster_scientist_dead"
}

I'm unable to find more information about this error. It could be that the model is clipping through a brush(?), or missing hullsize "0 0 0"; based on a quick glance at the map.

  1. Question/Bug??

Another thing is that some configurations within the gsrand_config isn't being followed. Mostly scale and flip. With the config set (shown below) and used to generate another set of maps, scale isn't as noticeable, but map flipping is still being ignored.

My config is: 

corruption_mode  = random
corruptions      = weird shift grey bw contrast invert

If you would like to see the maps for yourself, here are two files zipped for you. [Zip Removed]

Thanks for linking the maps, that helped me find the problems right away.

"FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Host_Error: Backwards mins/maxs"

The problem seems to be with the model replacement used for that entity. I tried a few other replacement models and only the globe/flag model triggered the crash.

The globe and flag models are now in the blacklist for monster_x_dead entities. Download the new gsrand_models.txt and hopefully it won't happen again.

Eventually I'll do a stress test on every model ever and add all the bad ones to that list. For now, the safest thing to do is make a whitelist for the monster_x_dead entities.

gsrand_config isn't being followed

You've got "Corrupt Mode : Super random" selected in the program. It should be set to "Use config settings" if you want to restrict corruptions to whatever is in the config file.
