Quake 1 thin faces bug

[hardkore]

I loaded up my map file.  I ran a thin faces search. 

Nothing shows up in actions and nothing shows up in numbers found.  It shows that i have one that is to thin. 

I click inspect and i get this

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\QUAKE\quark\plugins\mapthinfaces.py", line 149, in macro_fixview
    editor.uselessfacedlg.inspect()
  File "C:\QUAKE\quark\plugins\mapthinfaces.py", line 95, in inspect
    index = eval(self.chosen)
  File "<string>", line 0
   
    ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

I click fix and i get this

is there anything else i can post to help you with this bug?

I can't seem to reproduce this... Does this also happen with the default room (and if so, in what gamemode)? Or maybe you can post a sample-map-piece that exhibits this behavior?

[hardkore]

Quake 1 is the game mode.

This is going to sound odd but telefragger, can you not look at this time.  Its for a map I am making for our special thanksgiving game that I hope you can get in on.  I dont want to run the suprise for you.

I just loaded the map in QuArK, and I didn't experiment any error regarding any thin faces that could have been found..... Also, the .map you sent is not sealed, and even after sealing the map I didn't get any error, only 2 warnings (WARNING: CutNodePortals_r: New portal was clipped away near ....), so not a big issue.

I am just wondering: which QuArK version are you using ? And which compile tools are you running ? Maybe it is possible to compile the map regardless of the thin face bug ? Please try to run your bsp compilo, and check the map ingame... it could give you indication where the problem could be (i.e in the console type gl_clear 1) and inspect the map

enjoy !

Forgot to mention that I had to add an info_player_start to be able to run it.... and the log above is exactely what I get on my first test

[hardkore]

I am using beta 3.

I am not trying to compile the map.  It is only half done.  Before I started on the other base, I ran checks and stuff to make sure that one is good.  Every time I go to fix that thin face there it shows me that I got, I get those errors. 

[JPL]

Hardkore,

Just ignore this warning, thin face finder is not working that well (sorry to say it but this is quite true...). The only good sanity check is .mqp conversion to bsp format. If it passes this first step without tons of warnings, without any single error: then the map is ok, just verify there are no leaks, and you are done... believe me...

Continue to map, and try to compile your map when sealed, then you'll got a complete picture of the corrections to perform, if there are....

Bye
