Exceeded maximum luxols Created 16 years ago2007-07-23 00:20:44 UTC by Pills

I have a map that I think may be somewhat large, it is 55759077376 units cubed out of a max 469459763648 units cubed; about 12% of the total working area. Anyways, I have a light (just a regular light) at the (almost) top of the room and some objects below it like regular. However, I have some func_walls using the AAATRIGGER texture with an FX Amount of 1 and a brightness of 400 (used to be 2000, I still get the same error). I got past the humongous BuildingVisleafs time by putting meat outside the window (don't ask), but now when I play the map I get an error that says that I have too many luxols, the maximum is 324 and I have 325, and this is because there are too many/much light(s) shining on AATRIGGER. The game is Half Life if it makes any difference, and there is more than one of the aformentioned func_wall entity than 1.

Ummm... func_wall doesn't even HAVE a brightness setting. Put it in the mapvault, because I think I'd need to see this to diagnose it.

He's probably talking about minlight. That has to be between 0 and 1, by the way. 400 is no different than 1.

aaa trigger hates being shined upon. (light)
It was never meant to render

True that.

It's 'luxel', by the way, it stands for luminosity pixel.

Thanks for the help and the correction of the word "luxel". I'll try rendering the objects with a different texture.

I changed the texture of the things I could, but since the func_ladders (and I have 4 of them) had to be AAATRIGGER, it still gave me the error message. This time I noted it told the the lightmap was 69x5 or something. Would it help if I made the func_ladders thinner, because right now they are wider than a normal ladder.

Also if I didn't mention before, my map is one big room, which may be somewhat bad. Last time I compiled I was stuck on buildfacelights, so I got rid of all the lights, got rid of the room, made a correct skybox (which I like to call a skycap) and put in a light_spot with issky set to on.

Func ladders dont HAVE to be aaatrigger textures. You can take any workd geometry and turn it into a func_ladder

@espen180: I can't; It's supposed to be a large model of my friend's room, which somewhat luckily, is small in real life.

@Tetsu0: Hmm, I recall hearing otherwise from a seperate source whilst internet-eavesdropping. They must have been wrong or I heard it out of context.

I'll try to find a geometrically and realistically way to make a large divider or two in the middle. A crashed ceiling, perhaps? Just an idea, but I'm going to have to so SOMETHING. Thanks for the info, everyone!

got a screenshot of the area you're working with?
Maybe a visual will yield more results
