Weird compile problem. Created 17 years ago2006-05-28 07:26:18 UTC by Exos

When I compile my map, and it gets to this part..

"GatherLight: 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 (0)

Bounce #1 added RGB(6804, 5720, 3854)"

Look where it says "Bounce #1" Well It does this all the way up to 100!! It takes forever, what is wrong? How can I fix this?

Maybe it's a material which reflects light?

But how do I find what material it is? I need to get rid of this problem, it adds like 5 minutes to my compile because it takes forever.

It gives you these three numbers: 6804, 5720, 3854.

Either they are brushface numbers, or coordinates.

Well those arent the numbers in my map, I made a quick box map to save time so I can show you. The actual numbers it gives me are -1, -1,-1. They arent coordinates or brush numbers.

GatherLight: 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 (1)

Bounce #1 added RGB(-1, -1, -1

Sometimes my maps get this but only a few come up...Something VRAD is calculating however I know this sounds silly but I believe the more there are the better your map looks...Heh silly theory.

it adds like 5 minutes to my compile because it takes forever

What the hell? Five minutes is no time at all.

Well After its done compiling There is like a HUGE shadow covering my whole map. I don't know what the hell it is from. I don't know if it is from the compile or something huge is casting a shadow.
