2 possibilities:
1- You have used too much textures (it can be changed in map options)
2- You have used textures very high detallied or too much size.

The largest recommended size of a texture is 256x256 pixels, you've probably gone over the limit with some of your textures. This is just a warning(not an error) and your map should compile fine anyway, but people with slow computers might not be able to play your map.

1- You have used too much textures (it can be changed in map options)

Nope, that would give a different error.

The textures mentioned in the log are simply too big (over 256*256) This should'nt be a big problem, if you have enough memory and a good videocard, the game will run fine, but the map may note run on machines with lower specs. Also, its very likely that you'll hit an engine/game limitation very quickly if you keep using those big textures.

yeah...and cstrike says : "Bad Surface Extents" (" you idiot you can't play your map cause that's how i want")

Well I think that's a seperate problem. Using larger textures doesn't cause crashes or failed loads, CZ had them in it's maps.

Its nothing for you to worry about mate, just keep them under 1024x1024 and you'll be fine I have the problem to.

256x256 is essentially all the larger you want them though. better on the engine, better on other computers, better on file size, and its not hard to make it still good looking.

1024x1024 is what you may use on the source engine... i wouldn't consider it on the gldsrc engine.

I know you may safely go up to 512x512. but the engine compensates the large texture size with downgrading its quality. Its ok if you need to cover a large area and you don't care much for the texture quality. But if thats the case, go with four 256x256 textures. That way you keep your quality.

Actually the compensation thing might differ with steam.
:

Yeah...

...but as far as Steam, how so? Better or worse?

For the sake of creating a new thread , I'll post here in one of my old threads( )

My problem is this :

I compiled the map and after 4 hours of waiting I get the MAX_PATCHES error. I stretched a little bit the textures . Ok , no more MAX_PATCHES .
Instead my map won't launch. I searched the compile log . No error (believe me I searched it a lot of times) .
Well I thought it's the MAX_PATCHES ... so I even deleted some parts of the map ! And even after this the map won't launch .
It enters the game and says "Starting new server..." after some yellow lines appear in the progress bar , it just exits the game without giving me any error.
What should I do ?

Help , pleaseee ?

Maybe models ? Oh my gosh if the limit can be overridden it's cool !
