And then,I can't run my map.
What should I do?Thx

I am sorry,my map is a SC map

I am a little confused as to why it says 'D:...'
As for the error, it means you have too many models in your map, or too many brush based entities.
Use this site if you get any other errors. I hope you can understand what I said. Happy mapping!

thank you
D:... << I amended =|

Can I use monstermaker to fix it?

It depends....do you have a number of soldiers in your map that will be hidden until they're triggered, or are all the models all necessary?

umm...I am sorry...I don't understand
I don't know how many soldiers in my map,but I think there is a lot.
I had not use monstermaker since I don't know how to use it. :

I'll try and rephrase...

Are all the soldiers/monsters in your map going to be visible to the player when he steps into a particular room or something, or will they only be seen if the player does something to make them visible, like if they use a switch and then the soldiers/monsters are seen in the next room. If they will only be seen if he uses a switch or something, you can use a monstermaker. Check the tutorials here on how to use a monstermaker, I don't have a good idea on the details of how they work.

thank you very much

No problem. Good luck on your map.

the D means he has Half-Life in the D drive. Most people have it in the C drive.

********** ERROR **********
if you see this, that is the problem.

nummodels == MAX_MAP_MODELS

too many models.
monsters are models, and so are guns and stuff.

I hope you understood my english.

everyone else, if you already posted and answered, I did not read the whole thing. I am lazy, as you all may very well know.

also you are using the old quake compile tools. check the links page for ZHLT, much better compiling tools that give more detailed error messages. if you want to go on further google for nem's batch compiler, batch compilers do things much quicker.

the D means he has Half-Life in the D drive.

Which often means someone has another hard drive installed.

MAX_MAP_MODELS has nothing to do with models like monsters etc.
It means you have to many brushes on your map.
Try running the comiler with -chart (i think), this'll bring up a chart with information concering how close you are to the limits of mapdata.
You can also, in the VHE, go 'map -> show information' to see how many brushes, ents etc. you have.
If you had too many monster, you'd get a too many entities error, as they're treated as entities.
Since you all said something completely different, I'm a bit unsure about this.
But afaik my version is the correct one.

Brushes = models? Hmm...

The compilers call the brushes or a group of brushes models.
A brush based entity for example has a model key with points at the group of brushes it consists of.

Never knew that. Interesting.

I was wondering about the '...' part after the D:

Uh, paranoid? What're we gunna do, report you to VALVe for using a non-standard installation directory? Or is the real path D:WAREZEDHL?

Look the error up on Tommy14's error page.
