Empty texture in E1m2

[Cobalt]

Maybe someone can tell me whats causing this checkerbox to appear on the pad near the player start on e1m2? I thought it was a corrupted file, but its been replaced...and then I thought maybe its an entity issue, but which entity would serve that function? Any input appreciated.

maybe the textures directory/name is too long?

You might look for the same texture in other places to see if appears. If not, it might be indeed an entity issue. Look for another pad, either in the same map or another one.

Also, check the console, and see if there is any message about missing textures.

Ok, I used the texture editor in Quark, and found 2 slipbot textures. I dont know what I am doing, or if the map can be repaired without recompiling...and I dont have a complier, unless Quark has it built in? Heres the file in case theres someone able to fix it, thanks !

I downloaded those tools, but I dont have a.map file , just the bsp.

I also dont have vis, light or any other of the tools you can use with Quark. I couldnt see how to work with the texture when loaded in bsp. I think you mean I need to have a.map file to redraw the brshes and such, and you are saying the map file cannot be extracted from the bsp?

Where did you get that .bsp file from?
Is it the original e1m2.bsp?
Have you tried if the texture is missing when you load the game without a mod?
Is there something about a missing texture logged to the console?

Its the stock ID map I had off my Quake CD. The mod I am using had seperate .ent file and Qbsp for recreating the map with CTF entities in it.

I just ran the map in Single player from the standard ID folder, and can still see the problem. Its only when a GL Quake engine is used, Winquake, it looks fine. So its not related to the CTF mod at all, seems to be exclusive to some GL clients.

Darkplaces, yes
fitsquake, no
Qrack, no

rapq, no
nglquake,no
glq10, no

Some of the other clients like xquake, mickglquake and tomazquake show the problem, but the entire map is in black and white. Im guessing thats some kind of hardware incompatability with the new Video cards with the new system I am using.

No idea why it only happens in some engines.

It probably does have to do with the mod, since you used qbsp and an .ent file to modify the map. I guess the problem does not happen with stock e1m2?

You could try applying the ent file to a fresh copy of stock e1m2 again, with the qbsp program I linked instead of the one that comes with the mod. Maybe the .ent file is broken, too.

Can you link the mod you use, or upload the .ent file?

The test I did with several engines was in single player mode, with reference to no mods. So it does not appear mod related to the Qbsp'ing of the map Im using for the mods. The screenshot in Quark I posted showing the hole and other errors is the same for any e1m2 map I have, even the alt_e1m2 that came with the mod, which I checked when I posted the screenshot. Theres definately a hole in all the e1m2 maps I have, and I suspect this is also called a 'leak' and is not good. I also found a zipped up file of Quake on Torrent, with e1m2 in it, and that one is hosed too. So its a problem with the map, or there is a newer version then the ones I am finding. Does anyone elses map show the hole? If not, all I probably need is that map, and I can re-qbsp it....then check if the ent files create the hole. But I am thinking its a bug in the older maps no one has found yet.
