Alright, I will try doing that and then get back to you.

Hello, I am recently getting rather close to a playable build of my map. When compiling, VIS crashes as soon as it begins, without reason. I am not sure of why this is occuring, any help would greatly be appreciated. As to clear up any misconceptions about an earlier post, I am NOT using max distance, and vis is set to full.

Why don't you just move the two boxes away from each other?

I've tried that, and it still crashes.

I ran out it without maxdistance so I could how the resources were doing. It only crashes with maxdistance.

Alright, I got rid of the leaf saw errors, but it still crashes. It is important to note though, that is ONLY crashes when maxdistance is on. The latest build can be found here: http://thecynicalone.com/woot59.map

Windows pops up with a box saying, We're sorry to inform you, but HLVIS had to close. Would you like to send data to microsoft blah blah blah. That kind of thing. It's rather aggravating.
This comes up BEFORE HLVIS crashes
http://thecynicalone.com/error.bmp
The log also says:

12954 faces
Create Patches : 75702 base patches

It's not showing up in the log because it crashes!

Try compiling it with -sparse. I was having texture problems, and I just haven't changed it back yet.

Alright, thank you all so much for your help. Only using the .lin file did the trick. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again soon.

Sorry, it seems I made a brush to cover that up, it just wasn't in my latest .rmf. Try downloading it now, I seriously can't find this leak.I do greatly appreciate your help though, and the images were quite humorous as well as helpful.

I've been trying for hours on end now, but I just can't seem to fix this leak! If anyone is willing to give it a shot, I would greatly appreciate it.
The .rmf file is located here:

http://thecynicalone.com/woot56.rmf
The .wad file is here:
http://thecynicalone.com/deathtex.wad

Hello, I am currently working on a rather long mapping project. I can get it compile all the way to HLrad in which I get the error of: Exceeded MAX_PATCHES. I have tried quite a few things, but I can't seem to be able to get past this error. The mod I am making this for is called The Specialists.

Okay, sounds good. I'm sorry to seem like such a newbie, but what exactly is texture lighting? Is that just getting the texture light and making it an ent?

I'm still not quite sure on how to get rid of this error :/

How can I change the default light level, so that I don't necessarily need to place lights everywhere?

Yes, I am. Here is my log:

Okay, so as of right now, I still get the looping noise at parsing server info, and I get an error when compiling in hlrad saying, exceeded max_map_lighting.
The .map can be found here:
http://tapsdomain.net/woot49.map
Edit:
the .bsp is here:
http://tapsdomain.net/woot49.bsp

Okay, again, i'm back to the max_map_lighting error.

http://tapsdomain.net/download/ts/sprites/xsmoke2.spr
Sorry!

Thanks, I fixed the leak!!! If all goes well with this compile (which I doubt) I may be error free. I'll post again when I know the answer.

That's what part of my problem was. D: Hollow boxes=bad.

The latest .map can be found here:
http://tapsdomain.net/woot49.map

Well, actually, I have come across a new problem. I completely rebuilt the skybox, and now I have a leak in the map, I just can't seem to fix it.

You guys were right, how odd. The map works just fine now. There is a catch though, I'm getting an error in the compiler that says I have run out of light memory data. How can I fix this?

This was just a quick compile, that's why the skybox is a total fail. I haven't filled in everything yet, if there's a blank space, something is most likely going to go there.

Oh, I'm so sorry! I left out the plants. Here's the correct link:
http://tapsdomain.net/dv2.zip

My apologies, I know I need to fix the directories. Anyway though, is everything straightened out now?

Okay, sorry for the delay, if I left out anything let me know.
http://tapsdomain.net/deathvalley.zip

I removed the second half life.wad and it still did not work.

I mean the same folder as the map, not the specialists, during compiling, not playing.

It references it from it's root folder, so should I just stick them in the same folder as the specialists?

I thought that was the newest one, sorry. I just used the one that came with ZHLT Gui.

Sorry, wrong url, it should be:
http://tapsdomain.net/woot47.map

I know it's a map error. There aren't any actual errors in the compiler though, so I'm rather confused. I'm not compiling from hammer either, and yes I am running steam. The mod i'm running it in is The Specialists. The files can be found here:

http://tapsdomain.net/woot47.bsp
http://tapsdomain.net/woot.map

My map compiles just fine, and continues to load until it gets the point where it says parsing sources, or something like that in the launch progress bar. When it gets to this point, the mod i'm playing in crashes and loops a sound. What can I do to fix this?

How do I increase the texture memory? I keep getting this error:

hlcsg: Error: Exceeded MAX_MAP_MIPTEX
Description: Texture memory usage on the map has exceeded the limit
Howto Fix: Merge similar textures, remove unused textures from the map
