Compiling problems... Created 18 years ago2006-08-23 17:19:46 UTC by Blackhawk

I Built a map and was able to compile it for over a dozen times over and over again as i added new things to it. Then came problems with messed up brushes but i got over them and was again able to compile and play the map. Now i've come up with a problem again and cant seem to find a way over it. As I start the map on cs, the whole crap crashes straight back to windows. As I then went trough the compiling readme, i found these "problems in compiling", however, it isnt telling what kind of a problem is this load of bull. Somebody please help me. Here's the readme file from the latest compile.

P.S. The damn PC is once again half way out of the window

Error: Exceeded MAX_MAP_CLIPNODES

Search the forums for clipnodes...the fix is easy, and it's come up many times before

DAMN YOU!!!

I win !

And I forgot about the edit button...

I lied...'searched the forums, and there are not so many informative threads about this issue. However, read towards the end of this thread--the post by DarkPhoenix68.

Srry: that info from Tommy's it not paticularly useful in describing the problem, nor recommending a cure--the answer is in there, but it's horribly written!

Ok, thanks for the help guys. In fact i noticed the clipnodes error a bit after i added this topic, but I was still lost. Now I'm over it, thanks to u. But...
Error: Exceeded MAX_MAP_FACES
...I cannot believe this bullshit. Hammer has too many restrictions.

Hammer has no restrictions, the GoldSource engine does.

well why cant i then do what i want. It seems like i had too many brushes and so too many faces. 21928 faces and 3630 solids. If there are no restrictions, tell me what can I do here.

Life is just too unfair. F*cking hammer, f*cking steam, f*cking half-life, f*cking pc, f*cking life... f*ck ...going now to hang myself->

Just place over areas the player will never be in them clip brushes! Also read darkphoenix journal post.

Goldsource=Half-life engine

So you're Killing yourself over Hammer and Half-Life? That's not the way to go out.

But how the hell do I clip(Gosh I'm such an amateur)? I choose the brush and then the clipping tool, but as I have chosen the area that I wish to Clip from the brush, I can't find the way to execute clipping!! I suppose it's possible that i've got this clipping figured out all wrong. Please sexplain clipping to me, oh masters of mapping.

Press enter. Is it now sexplained?

Thanks pal. Yep, it's sexplained.

You should read this site's tutorial's before asking questions in the forum. TWHL has a tutorial on clipping in the Half-life 1 Intermediate tutorial section.
