MAX_MAP_CLIPNODES Created 11 years ago2013-06-06 14:55:27 UTC by XaSer

Hi

Can I fix this error without the need of using clip brushes?

Thank you

There is no way to by pass this.
You must reduce clip nodes by using optimization techniques.

You can use Bevel to texture all invisible sides of your map.
Please post the compile log.

Error: Exceeded MAX_MAP_CLIPNODES
Description: The map has a problem which must be fixed
Howto Fix: Check the file http://www.zhlt.info/common-mapping-problems.html for a detailed explanation of this problem

--- END hlbsp ---

What is Bevel and how do I use it?

From the error guide:

mixed face contents
Example:
Entity 0, Brush 12: mixed face contents

Texture ROCK_X1 and SKY

Entity 0, Brush 37: mixed face contents

Texture STEEL_9 and WATER7

In Halflife, brushes are required to have all faces be of the same type (solid, water, slime, sky, origin). Fortunately almost all textures are solid. If you put a water texture on one side of a brush which has dirt or steel textures for example, that would generate the error. The engine needs to know what is inside the brush, and it would be real confusing if different types could be put onto the same brush.

The fix is relatively simple. Simply find the offending brush, and then the faces with the inappropriate texture and change it. If a brush uses SKY, all sides must be sky. The same is true for CLIP, and ORIGIN textures as well. If you are careful it is possible to mix water textures (provided you don't accidently use a slime texture on the brush)

---

Bevel is located inside of ZHLT.wad file.
It is an texture whos purpose is to be read by the compiler and perform a special function.
Bevel removes the side on which it is applied from game. If you apply bevel to one side of a box, that side will no longer be visible/exist.

You have ZHLT.wad with ZHLT compile tools. Also, use the newest VHLT tools:
https://sites.google.com/site/gshltools/compiler-tools

Ty, however, it did not work (or I do not have enough sides to use Bevel on).

Is it necessary to use Bevel on these sides? (see picture below):
http://www.upload.ee/image/3366651/bevel.png

I do not have any error like you said (see below):
Entity 0, Brush 12: mixed face contents
Texture ROCK_X1 and SKY
Entity 0, Brush 37: mixed face contents
Texture STEEL_9 and WATER7
Entity 0, Brush 12: mixed face contents

The face contents I have, is because I use triangles to create terrain.

Yes, any side that wont be seen in normal situations should be removed from the map.
Underneath the boxes, behind walls, opposite sides not normally seen, etc.

Also, get VHLT, it will fix the problems (i assume). You shouldn't mix anything with !water textures. You can use optimization textures though.

I will try the VHLT tools. I have not mixed anything with the water texture. Optimization textures?

Your errors aside, i've found i get the biggest clip economy from using -cliptype simple paramater for CSG compile(using compilator or expert compile).

or you could func_illusionary things and use simple, larger clip brushes to define what the player can and cannot walk on.

For instance, that screenshot you posted, you can make ONE clip brush occupy the space of all three of those boxes to simplify things.

Any space that the player cannot walk in - clip brush it.
Have a 16 sided cylinder? Make it a func_illusionary and and put a 6 or (even better) 4-sided clip brush in its place

Anything you can do to make the compiler's job easier is a good idea

Thank you all,

I have used a lot of clip brushes in my map (maybe too much...)
I will try to make cylinders func_illusionary (they are currently func_wall and there is a clip brush around them...).
