yea i know i can put em into 1 file but as i havent finished i dunno what textures are gonna be in it. and the max is 8, ive been using 8 since the start and it used to compile fine so thats not the problem

im still having problems with compiling my map, i appear to have solved the "portal saw into leaf" problem but vis still took 20hrs and rad doesnt seem to have been run again, could it be cause i added -sparse to the cmd line or what?, anyways ive posted the .rmf for it in the problem maps section of the map vault, perhaps someone could check it out for me :), heres the log file too:

HELP!

i posted the log file for my map which has this saw leaf problem, but ive never understood those co-ordinates properly, and as im near completion of my map i dont wanna have to delete too many brushes which i think may be causing the problem, does anyone have a link to a site which tells me which co-ordinates are what, like depth, length etc.,
thanx.
