Issue with loading specific maps

CuDi05/09/2013 08:21

For whatever reason, at a seemingly random time I can no longer play the following maps:

kz_abstract_plane
kz_brickfacility
kz_emblem

Whenever I try to load any of the three cs crashes instantly upon spawning with no error. Oddly enough, as far as I know I have changed nothing in terms of settings that could have had an impact on this, unless this update with Half-Life may have had something to do with it which I doubt would be the case. Even still, why would my settings be to blame?

I tried deleting all files from each map and re-downloading but that was to no avail.

Maybe My CS client no longer likes Timmycakes? (Although I can still run aggressive and bleu no problem.)

Would anyone happen to know the issue?

Maybe you missing some files like sprites, sounds, gfx to run those maps? But I would suggest you to look for a .wad file. Hope I helped.

None of the three maps use .wad files because the textures from each map are attached to the respective .bsp.

EDIT: When I try to play abstract_plane, and brickfacility now, I get the error "NUM_FOR_EDICT: bad pointer"

I managed to fix the issue. I made an issue report on github and it has been fixed, as long as you're running the beta version of cs.

The maps will work no problem in the next official cs/Half-Life update.
