First of all:

Warning: More than 8 wadfiles are in use. (13)
This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

No more then 8 wads are allowed. More could cause problems.

Second of all:

Warning: Too many direct light styles on a face

Before i explain to you what is causing this, do you have any lights that:

• can be turned on/off (toggle)
• have dynamics (flicker/strobe animations)
• have names but cannot be turned on/of or don't have dynamics?

It means there are too many point light with diffrent styles entities that are connected direct line of view to a face. By styles I mean, light colours, light apearence, including costum apearence and also each light that can be toggled on/off has a diffrent lighting style. The maximum of lighting styles on a face is 7. If you have at list 7 togglable lights that have a direct line of view to a face thats what causing the problem.

I'm not sure, but I think with togglable lights the max is 3 not 7 like with lights with diffrent styles. I remember that I had a room with 4 togglable lights and this error showed up. But you better check out yourseld, I'm not certain I remember correctly.

You have too many dynamic lights in one area. Dynamic lights are ones that can be turned on and off, flicker, etc. In other words, it's anything that isn't static. (Note that so-called "dynamic" lighting in Half-Life isn't real dynamic lighting like modern games have, as it's still pre-calculated.)

Three posts in a row about the same subject.

Hey... Did Muzz edit his post in front of ours? I didn't think it was there when I last refreshed. :

I didn't edit it, geuss i was just a little quicker.

Tell that to the judge! I'll see you in court.

I cannot move posts, so thats out of the question.

On topic now.

Can you only have a max of three toggle lights in one map because I have roughly 6 toggle facelights which can only be turned off when in conjunction with normal lights

No only 3 switchable lights that all have a direct line of view to a particular face. Entities don't block vis. You can have a lot more.
