Fullbright Created 16 years ago2007-10-12 17:30:08 UTC by 0750greven

I've been working on a de_ map for about 3 weeks now, and 10 minutes ago when I compiled my map it turns out to be "fullbright". This didn't happen the time before that. I've tried to delete the last thing I built on the map to see if that was causing the problem, but that didn't solve the problem.

How do I solve this? I've loaded the pointsfile, but can't find anything...

Can this happen if I have too many light entities on my map?

Sounds like a leak. Post your log.

Ok, I've found the error in the log... If I understand the explanation correctly; it's my skybox that causes this problem since I have a large hollow box around my map... It's a large map btw.

So... is there another way to create skyboxes? Any tutorials on this?

Hmm, doesnt look like a leak, but i have to point out

Error: Exceeded MAX_PATCHES

im not exactly sure what that means, nor have i gotten it before
:
There are also some large texture warnings, but i have thousands of those and the maps work fine

No. You just have to cut down on faces. First of all, skyboxing your entire map is never a good idea, the r_speeds will skyrocket and the engine renders the entire, if not most of it, at once.

So i'd redo the skybox.

Also, if you have a large brush, like rocks, clifs and the like, increase it texture scale to lower the patches.

Too many faces? jeeze, thats some limitation, really.

is the "exceeded MAX_PATCHES" error related to the "max_numark_leaf_faces" error?

Ok, I'll try to redo the skybox in a smarter way... I don't have any large brushes like cliffs and stuff like that... I have some grass, I'll scale those from 0.5 to 1.0.

So... is there a good tutorial somewhere how to "skybox" your map properly?

what i do, is VM my sky textured brush, to fit exactly with the terrain, that way your not boxing the whole map, the sky looks good, and no leaks. Also, for windows or skylights, just put a sky brush in the window, making sure the outside of the map cant be seen

I still don't understand this issue with skyboxes being built around the level.

If you use a null texture on the whole thing and then use the sky texture on the inside faces and then "Fit" them to the faces. It works just as well. I do that and it has never affected r_speeds or compile times.
