EDIT: The title was meant to be: My whole dark map is lighted Sorry

Hi, I have been trying to compile a fairly big map.

The map is meant to be at night, but when I compile it all of it is lighted.

There are alot of lights and lamps in the map, but I cant figure out why the whole damn map is fully lighted.

I have heard something of -lightres or -texlights, but I dunno how to use them.

Thanks in advance

Looks like you have a leak. Post your compile log.

You are compiling with Vis and Rad right? Otherwise, what Penguinboy said.

Here you go.

Sorry for the late answer, but it takes like 15 min for my high-end pc to compile it

Error: Exceeded MAX_PATCHES

I think you haven't optimized the map.

More on this error: http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#maxpatch

Try compiling with Full Vis, if that doesn't work, go to the co-ordinates with problems, apply func_walls those brushes. Otherwise it could be you have to many complex brushes in that area.

Also, you haven't got a box around you whole map have you? Because that causes a bot of MAX PATCHES errors

How do you compile it with full vis?

Nope, I dont have a box around the map.

There is a VIS menu in the compile box. Check the 'max' option.

Also, you'll have to actually set up vis groups in your map first.

make sure the light entities are light_spot not just light i made that mistake too

Warning: Larger than expected texture (218412 bytes): 'GP_MENU'

Also, fix this. You can look that up too at Tommy14's site; If you plan on mapping a lot get used to this site because it's the best HL mapping error debugger for all the days.

Welcome to TWHL too, btw.

Isnt this a released map for TS? if so, are you using the source or a decompiled version?
