SubdivideFace? Help!
My map was compiling fine, but now it has suddenly started erroring. Even removing dits back to when it worked doesn't fix it.
The error is "SubdivideFace: Didn't Split the Polygon". Does anyone know what that means? I tried cordoning off areas until it worked, but it failed even with nothing in the cordon bounds.
I'll upload my VMF, but it'll take a while to get all the relevant instances together.
I googled the error and this was the first solution I saw. Most other forums suggest that you need a texture scale ratio of 1:1 on faces. http://nzpmaps.forumotion.com/t107-subd ... lygon-near
I found it! It's really weird, actually.
Wrathofmobius, it's caused by your wallmaker. The side nodraw faces aren't aligned to either the world or the face, which looks like it's causing a memory leak. Use too many random walls and it'll overflow.
Ugh, I am really sorry about all of this. I released an untested and buggy product... I should have known better. I did not think to test it with a large number of these walls - usually just a room. Tomorrow morning I will switch over to the PyVMF library (which aligns side faces correctly and is MUCH more optimized) instead of the slapped-together VMF writer in the WTR. If all goes well, it'll be fixed tomorrow morning or afternoon.
Again, I am SO sorry about all of this. I should have not released this without tons of stress testing to try and break it, and I also should not have dismissed others' reports as flukes so quickly. I hope no damage/frustration has been caused due to my negligence. Thank you all (FelixGriffin, protoborg, Mevious, etc) for all of your patience while I try to get this piece of crap working. I may also include the source in the next version so that others may fix the things I will have no doubt overlooked in the next version.
Yours,
Simeon

No problem, it's all fixed now. I just hit Select All, Fase Edit, Align to World and it compiles fine. And I would have had no idea that was the problem if I hadn't seen a post on another forum about the error.
