Help with Scorge of Armagon!!!

[Kaiser]

Sup fellow Quakers. I'm gonna get right to the point. Everytime i go to the main menu of SoA and click "New Game" the game won't come. It says something in the lines of "parse error" The command lines are all fine, Darkplaces.exe -hipnotic and the menu shows up perfectly with the marines and dogs. It's only when i click it. What should i change??

Thank you.

It only works with command Line, so just make a shortcut.

Hello Kaiser,

I am not sure according to your description.
A screenshot of the console with the exact error message would be nice.

Just a guess from my side:
You are using DP and the replacement mod with the weather files for ID1 ?
Then the parse error will come when starting hipnotic. Yes.
It says something like: ...can�t find function seven_think...

Reason is explained here: click

If you do not use DP, then ignore this post.

I can't print screen it for some unknown reason. So i wrote it down:

"Military Complex

CDAudio_sysget AudioDiskinfo: Drive not ready. Progs/eyes_ MDL: could not load texture "01- Default" "Maxplayers" set to "1" corrupt .lit file Cfile size 556187 bytes, should be 539684 bytes

PRVM_ED_ParseEpair: Can't find Function Rain_Think in server
Host_Error: PRVM_ED_ParseEdict: Parse Error"


I hope this will explain my problem

Yes, "rain_think" shows that you use the weather .ent files, but your engine does not support it (because it is a QC/engine extension).

Please download that file I linked to above here to solve the issue.
(put that .ent file into Hipnotic\maps)

But you must know that the weather .ent files only work with DarkPlaces + "small mod compilation" (or other custom mods which make use of the rain code)
If you use a different engine, you must delete the weather .ent files.
Because you still did not tell us what engine you use


Regarding your other error messages:
- eyes_ MDL
- .lit file
You seem to use corrupted replacement files.

Regards,
Seven

Hey, IT WORKED MAN! Religious or not but god bless ya I got the Quake Collection at Steam 25% of cause of Quakecon, so i got every Quake game except 4, so i wanted to try the expansions but i had gotten addicted to the high definition graphics of the Epsilon Darkplaces engine when i played Quake 1, so i had to try it there. Hope i don't get the same problems with Dissolution of Eternity after i'm done with Armagon

Sounds like Steam is selling your mod Seven.

No man xD Why would you say that? I got it from here: Quake "Epsilon" Builds for Windows/Mac/Linux

Then i bought the full retail Quake from Steam. I sense some Steam haters here

[bluntz]

Sorry my bad,confused 2 diff threads.Another post is asking for help with "enhanced Quake" he bought from Steam.

It there anything weird or unnatural in hating Steam?

Not really. Tough i understand some players want DRM free games just like in the old days. And i have seen lot of people bashing Steam

[ezzetabi]

Bashing steam is losing time, too many fanboys and unreasonable people that see DRM as acceptable.

Exactly. I really don't get this DRM free thing. You can play your games wherever you want, on any computer you want. You always have full access to it. What if you lost or destroyed your cd? With Steam you will always have your games. No matter what. Though sometimes the updates on Steam gets on my nerves...but thats another thing. Nothings perfect.

Sorry for being off-topic. Interesting discussion.

[ezzetabi]

I do not get this ``DRM is acceptable'' thing, so we cannot communicate I am afraid.

But, you know... without DRM you can play wherever you want, on any computer you want. Lose the CD? Are you kidding, I do not think to something such ancient. I think to shops like gog dot com where you can download drm free setups programs. No matter what, even if they go bankrupt, technology changes or Internet connection goes down for a while you can keep your backups safe.

Rogue Start Map Error

Hi. Would it be possible if you could upload the original Rogue start map as well? When I try to start a new game with the Dissolution of Eternity mission pack, the game returns this error:
HOST_ERROR: PRVM_ED_PARSEEDICT: Parse error

The hipnotic start map fixed this error with the Scourge of Armagon mission pack, but I don't have a map to fix it with Rogue.
