【solved half(?)】demo failed to load

[kerf]

Hi，I try to add new demo and new maps then load the demo but faild. It is strange because I can load old demo (years of 2021, totally same version, nothing changed) but new demo failed....I have 80Gb RAM so I don't think it is related with RAM. I tried to remove all pk3 file excelt mainpart, but still have problem.

Thank you so much in advance if someone know what happened. I dont edit anything after successfully making movies after 2021...so I think it is weird....

Requested feature was omitted at compile time

[kerf]

I set mme_workMegs less than 559(default 128), it says:Failed to allocate 298598400 bytes from the mme_workMegs buffer

I set mme_workMegs more than 560, it says: recursive error after: MAX_CVARS


I checked from internet, but my cfg is very clean....I don't custom many cvars....which is weird.........

[kerf]

and after I omit extra cvars from cfg and clean it, it says Requested feature was omitted at compile time.........with only pak0-pak8 left..but still doesn't work, same warning....

I can run the old map, but all of my new map failed......which is weird

[kerf]

update...............

maybe I know the problem......when I change from modified picture to original picture of levelshot for my map, it works......hmmmmm, but the new one picture is same 24bits, same size, same name...but doesn't work for MME(work for defrag engine).....I don't know why

because for the old map, I also modified levelshot, it works for MME....but for new map, the modified levelshot doesn't work....

[kerf]

I totally figure it out how to solve this problem...but I don't know why.

My modified levelshot picture (by using photoshop default setting) cannot work for MME, even same parameter.....I don't know how can I set the parameter in photoshop, I just set same size, same bit width, even same resolution, but didn't work.



I must direcrtly open the modified picture with default windows' software 《mspaint》and copy& paste it to original one by using windows' software 《mspaint》 at the same time and save both. Then the old picture has my modified picture and finally change the name to modified picture (if any), then it work.........and all my modified picture nomatter what in maps, I should change it like this, then it works for MME........

it looks like it only works for their old-body.....I think just some parameters doesn't match which is not clear in picture-software (like PS) so that MME cannot read it.......And in 《mspaint》, we just copy&past&save, so we don't change the parameter, then it works.....

So, so far I can only use such stupit way....

[kerf]

update v1.1

OK. there is a stupid shortcut way.....that just open my all modified picture with msprint and just save.....then it works.......hmmmmm.....welll........
