pvk_arena spawnpoints (pvkii 2.2)

Hi,

I wanted to edit the spawn points of pvk_arena like in 2.4, so that the player spawns right in front of the gate. I've already decompiled the pvk_arena.bsp with vmex, so I can read the pvk_arena.vmf with hammer editor now. Problem is, I cannot recompile it. Here's the log of hammer editor:
CODE
materialPath: C:\games\pvkii\pvkii\materials
Loading C:\x\pvk_arena_d.vmf
Entity 226: func_areaportal can only be a single brush


4 threads
reading c:\x\pvk_arena_d.bsp
Error opening c:\x\pvk_arena_d.bsp


[Reading texlights from 'lights.rad']
[66 texlights parsed from 'lights.rad']

Loading c:\x\pvk_arena_d.bsp
Error opening c:\x\pvk_arena_d.bsp


I'm not very familar with mapping & the editor, so perhaps someone can help me to fix this problem?
I also tried to recompile other maps like pvk_temple, that for example works without any problems.
Would be very nice if someone helped me smile.gif

    I thought that this would be the problem, but I haven't got any idea how to fix it.

    Don't you need to ask for permission from the original author of the map before decompiling and making changes to it?

    Although, I wouldn't think changing the spawn points of another person's map would be a big deal.

    I've been tempted to change one of pvk_lockout's spawn points you get stuck in the floor since I haven't been able to find out who the creator was and how to contact them =x

    I've already tried to ask someone of the pvkii team but I haven't received an answer yet, so I tried it with vmex.
    But I hope someone will help me. Would be cool if some mapper of the pvkii team answered me here.

    Well, arena is made by Yeehaa and Jahhur. Maps are a bit personal possessions so you should PM Jahhur to ask permission (Yeehaa isn't around anymore).

    Do people still play 2.2 to have to make maps for it?

    Me and wAyz and a few others recently got back into it, it wouldn't be a surprise if we get more people back in it. We've now got a steady server going on with an excellent ping(european) so everyone's free to join biggrin.gif

    He also managed to fix it with lil help from me.

    shiny mental purple


    Video --> Advanced --> High Dynamic Range

    Turn it off and I believe that fixed the shiny issue

    Nope, not for me. I still get shiny purple on both tr_desertruin (the official one, yes) and every version of Float. Probably on other custom maps too, but I rarely play em.

    Haven't tried this

    Curiously enough, on desertruin the metal doesn't turn purple until somebody breaks a window on the house by the tower.

    Sounds cubemap related.

    The purple model is cubemap related as Gourdain mentioned, I was referring more to the shiny bright blinding part

    That's cubemap and HDR related.
