He labeled all of the lightmap bitmap pallet unused, except for one int, causing my map to render black.....

Ok, I have worked every kink out of my maps except this last one. Entity can view the BSP fine, along with the BSP and lightmap meta. But According to UberAnalyzeTool my map is missing all BSP and lightmap meta/raw. I have no idea why either.

UAT is correct, no matter how fucked up the results are. So UAT tells me I'm missing all BSP and lightmap raw/meta data. It also says I have 3 holes because of this. I know that the data is there and that I have 0 holes. So I said fuck it, let me see what halo 2 has to say about this. I loaded the map, and it left the lobby, then returned to it. Sooo, something is indeed wrong

UAT is always correct. Always.

I remember having the same issue when I was writing my data shifter, I think the problem was that I had altered the lightmap pointer in the scnr which I shouldn't have done because it fixes itself...how this would effect you I dunno...

There is no lightmap pointer in scnr. And I have found the problem. Now, this was an accident. When I generated a list of idents, I accidentally included Constant, wich is the primary magic modifier, instead of FirstIdent. I later found out that the first short of the Tag ID's is an index into the taglist, that points to the tag it belongs to. I'm compiling a map with it fixed now so we shall see if it loads

Arrgg! Prey's Meta Editor is done in HTML!!! It works nice, but trying to add things into it is way harder.
Oh well, new challenges = new learning experiences.

So Grim, How'd the load go!?!??

Didn't load. I fixed a few more things, not it freezes right before it leaves the lobby. Could be a broken reference, or some reflexive thats labeled unknown by Xzodia....

The only Lightmap pointer is in the bsp header, it is also magiced. I got that.

Don't you hate it when you're waiting for a certain day to come and then the day after that day you look back and it feels like it went by too fast. In fact I think it always goes by too fast.

I hate it when you say the way you feel about something and how you understand the others opinions and all they listen to is your opinion and not how you understand how they feel.

Chrome is not is as great as people made me think, it's quite glitchy, as sometimes flashes, often forgets my Cookies(Logging out in the middle of browser any forum) and the right clicks don't always work the first time

I now see why companies spend over $1000 on a graphics card

I cannot load this one Lamborghini Murcielago model in wireframe without extreme lag.

Why can't they just make an all in one...

Other thoughts:
I've been getting these thoughts lately that makes me see that no matter how hard I work at earning something, I'm going to end up loosing it in the end, so what's the point in getting it. But at the same time I keep thinking that if I'm not going to have it forever then I should hold onto it for as long as I can, but then I realize that there's only one thing I want, and the closer I get to having it the more screwed up things get, but yet things get better at the same time.

And the more I see how we live and function the more I see how we are just like a computer. Think about this, every creature has a built in bios that has specific commands, the main being survive, and then it branches from there. Think about it, that's the first thing you try to do when you're brought into this world. Then you start to learn how to interact with your environment, you learn to walk and talk, you learn what things you should do and what you should not. Now I know a computer can't do that but it does try to find a way to use the hardware provided, thus being able to stay functioning. You can compare someone with short term memory loss to a computer that can't keep it's ram fresh.

It seems like everyone has a built in personality and the more they learn the more that personality reacts, and everyone reacts differently to the same situation.

And don't you notice the parents always try to stop their children from making the same mistakes they made but it seems to fail then the children try to do the same thing for their children, and every generation it just keeps looping and looping and nothing ever changes.

Oh, and I'm trying to remember this one day when I went fishing with my old friends a long time ago but all I can remember now about it is the story one of my friends brings up from time to time. I used to remember that day very well and it slowly faded away. I know it's still there in my head but it seems like there's nothing linking to it so I can't find it. You know, there's so much I wish I could remember but I can't, I barely remember anything that's more then 2 years ago, it's driving me nuts not knowing what I did. Like I know what I did but I can't see any of it, I just want to remember.

You know, I find that no matter how much I hate where I fit in, I find I can't find a better place for myself. It's so weird, there's all these things that makes it seem like life is just survival and we just happen to have emotion with it, but then there's these few things that make me believe that we all have a purpose in life, and that maybe we someone get regenerated and get placed in another life to do a task that no one else can do better, even though we have to relearn everything all over again.

Wow my minds racing.

And I think someone may have forgotten the most important part about the entire day and I'm the only one who knows it, and I'm the only one who can try to get them to remember.

All these thoughts and all these experiences are making me go insane

But I can at least see it coming and stop it.

Grr, I almost deleted this whole thing by accidentally clicking Cancel...

Just an observation here, but you started getting all emotional and crazy when you started dating that girl...

I'm sure she's a great gal and all, but it appears as though the situation is taking a toll on your mind that will be difficult to recover from.

Just think about what's happening, why it's happening, and how you could stop it, because you haven't seemed very happy for the past while.
