Hi, I downloaded the map pack from tastyspleen and certain custom maps crash Quake 2 Advance when I switch to them. I'm running q2advance 0.7, though I've tried running the maps using the standard quake2.exe and I get an error saying "gl_upload8: too large". Any ideas?

Dude, what graphics mode are you using?
Depending on your PC, software mode may not cope on some maps, probably large maps such as base64.
What system specs do you have? RAM might be a problem here.

Uh, my system specs exceed what's required for Quake 2: Sempron 3000, 1GB Ram, GF4 Ti4200....

I'm not running in software mode, I'm running in OpenGL.

Bah...didn't notice the tech support forum.

Hi eeemmecks,

Very strange... Can you list some of the specific maps that are giving these errors?

Thanks,

Banes... I take it you and eeemmecks know each other?

I hope so... because if not - why would we want to badger someone who came here for help?

Regards,

banes - Shut the fuck up.

Aerowalk is the one map I need to get working, I've tried various other maps in the map pack. Some worked, some didn't. I'll check and see if it has something to do with maps that have custom textures or something, I guess.

edit - Alright, I don't think it has anything to do with custom textures, since Aerowalk doesn't actually have any custom textures. Banes informed me that he downloaded the same map pack from here and all the maps he has work, including aerowalk. So, I'm guessing it's an issue with my videocard (unlikely) or the drivers(maybe?). Right now I'm using the newest nvidia drivers -- version 71.89. I'll test out some older ones.

Some maps make my Quake2 crash when I am running it with R1Q2, but don't when running Quake2 normally. However they're not from the map pack. I've played all maps in the map pack which I downloaded from here, so far up to about nastybox or something... (plus more which have randomly come on on various Quake2 servers), but none of them have made it crash. It was one in particular called carpark.bsp, although typically now it's not crashing so I can't tell console what the error was

(oh wait -- I should be happy!)

BTW, eeemmecks, aerowalk? Heh, you're not missing much, I'm telling you... (it's kinda boring...)

gl_upload8: too large

That's weird... OpenGL was uploading something? o_O

EDIT: PS banes, please calm down a little bit with eeemmecks, it's very frustrating reading one message and all it says from you is

Hey. Still having problems here. Think one of the mods could move this over into the tech support area where it belongs?
