Ok, I have tracked down the ripent 'bug'. It seems that the DoD team decided to pump the maximum texture limit to more then 4 MB (I assume 8 MB). Zoners Half-Life tools are set (by default) to use a maximum of 4 MB of textures. Any more and it will fail with a memory exception.
A small exerpt of code, took I took from '/common/bspfile.h': #define DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_MIPTEX 0x400000 // 4Mb of textures is enough especially considering the number of people playing the game // still with voodoo1 and 2 class cards with limited local memory. If you change the value of 'DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_MIPTEX' to '0x800000' (just replace the 4 with an 8) the texture limit will be 8 MB. This should be enough. Recompile the tools you need (ripent in this case) and they will work with DoD 2.1 maps. To Valve: next time, please use a variable memory buffer for these things :) Jeroen "ShadowLord" Bogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "MoD" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2002 10:50 Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [OT] ripent.exe and DoD v2.1 maps > I believe it is because of the large bsp size... couldn't rip caen2.
