mapname.d3dbsp.ents do not get read from Userraw

[Zom108]

What happened?

Ents should be able to be read from userraw, but as of late, this is no longer the case.

Expected behavior

The ent should be reading any changes made to it from userraw.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Insert ent into "userraw/maps/mp"
Load map with whatever changes you made (IE: Adding a game mode to a map)

How often does this occur?

• Always
• Sometimes
• Rarely

Additional information

The game doesn't "crash", but in my case, it causes the game to spit out infinite script loop errors due to the ent being "missing".

Thanks for following up.

Just a small note that bumping isn't necessary, the issue is already tracked. If you're interested in digging into it yourself, this should be fairly localized: what you're looking for is most likely in Maps.cpp

As a shot in the dark, try changing this line:

iw4x-client/src/Components/Modules/Maps.cpp

Line 261 in 3c71f9b

FileSystem::File ents(name + ".ents", Game::FS_THREAD_DATABASE);

To

FileSystem::File ents(name + ".ents");

I have followed the instructions to a tee, but I am unable to build the solution.

Cloned the repo through Github Desktop, and made the change

Ran the generate.bat to get the solution file, but VS errors out every time trying to build.

Hm yeah that shouldn't happen 🤔

Can you open a thread in #iw4x support on discord so that we can follow through there?

the problem is that the name string comes out as maps/mp/maps/mp/mp_bravo.d3dbsp.d3dbsp.ents
