PTI maps exported with puzzlemaker_export broken
So, I just (re) built my map in PTI (I'm still not fully comfortable in Hammer to make a map from scratch inside of it), exported it to Hammer, then built it in Hammer after making a few changes to it (moving some overlays around and such). However, when I loaded the map in-game, I noticed there were a TON of things either missing, broken, or otherwise nonfunctional. Among them: (in order of start to end)
- • The circular intro room doesn't play any video on the screens, they're all shut off.
- • Cave Johnson's voice files don't play.
- • The half-built sections of the starting (and ending) rooms all are blacked out, with the textures normally visible inside them no longer present.
- • The ending elevator room doesn't play any video, just like the starting room.
- • The elevator ride doesn't end the level - it just keeps going.
Am I missing something, or are these added during the publishing process and not the exporting one? Is there any way I can re-enable the elevator screens, voice lines, ending point, etc. without having to practically gut my map?
the export isn't broken, the map doesn't transition to another map so it goes on forever and videosplitter is broken for maps not in the workshop.
What about the voice and the odd graphical bug in the entrance/exit hallways?
Check that you have a pti_arrival_departure_transition_ents instance in there somewhere. PTI adds it automatically, but Hammer doesn't of course.
That's part of the elevator entrance instance by default, correct?
you have to upload your map to the workshop for your map to work properly.
Wow, really? You can't run a map like normal for it to work? That... seems pretty wrong.
Please do not Private Message me for assistance. Post a thread if you have questions or concerns.
If you need to contact the staff privately, contact the Global Moderators via Discord.

At least they didn't replace the old instances...

The video's are now rendered with a new script. For some reason it automatically loads with a queue map.
Cave Johnson's voice files are controlled by global_ents_pti, that only works via queue maps.
The not visible parts: strange
Ending elevator video, once again the new scripts.
The elevator ends with the global_ents_pti: the rating screen. This also only shows up if you load it from the queue.
So yea, try to publish it, test it and improve if needed 
So, uploading it seems to fix the problems with the video screens and the end-of-level transitions when played through the queue. however, the voice files don't play, and the bug with the textures is still there.
I'm about 750 miles from my computer, however, so a copy of the VMF won't be available until Monday or so.
