GRT 0 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I was just messing with my map and decided to make another room _03.i made it and put 2 portals.1 for the door and 1 for the window,named the both portals p01_03.the normals on both are facing 01.now when i exported a window came up saying this. Portal Error Portal:p01_03 not contained in room 3 the portal is right where the inner room starts.i just dont get it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeko 33 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 It's probably not fully connected to room, must be some space somewhere between. Use snaps in max. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H-Hour 0 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I don't know if this would be your problem, but I think you're supposed to name portals you can't walk through (like the window one) pt01_03. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Worm 0 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) Hmmnn... A portal has four sides. Each of these sides must line up exactly with four vertices of the inner room, and four vertices of the outer room. That's 8 vertces to line up. So... "Portal p01_03 is not in room 3" could mean 1) the doorframe/ windowframe was accidentally grouped into the wrong room, or 2) there is a tiny gap (1cm/0.5 in is enough) between portal and room 3. Check to see that all 4 sides fo the portal is lined up exactly with room 3. Also check for any "extra" portals you forgot to delete/ cloned by accident etc. BTW better to name the window portal pt01_03 to prevent AI from trying to walk through the window.

deleyt 0 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 A room has an outer boundary. The boundary is defined by all the objects that are contained within that grouped room. When you connect one room to another, the portal needs to be contained exactly inbetween the two rooms where the boundaries meet. So basically, when you get the message "Portal:p01_03 not contained in room 3" it means that the entire portal or some part of it is not contained within that boundary. To fix this, you need to move the portal so it fits exactly in both boundaries. In practice this means you need to snap the vertices of the portal to the gap. Also keep in mind that a portal needs to be co-planar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deleyt 0 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 If you don't have a roomlist.txt it will export without reporting any error at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
