Map maybe too big? Created 16 years ago2008-03-23 19:37:08 UTC by shortbus rider

I'm having problems compiling one of my maps. Every other map of mine compiles fine but this one. Whether I compile from hammer or use a batch compiler, I get a windows error about the bsp.exe having a problem. This is for CS 1.6. I don't see any errors in my log but there are some wierd warnings about text lights. I'm not even using most of the textlights it lists either. Maybe I have too much stuff in the map? Heres my log...

looks like you have two lights.rad files. delete one.

I just don't understand why it's reading from 2 diff directories when my path is only to one of them. It's wierd. Maybe I just don't understand the compile process well. Plus I get a windows error before it even gets to reading the textlights. I'll delete one and try again and cross my fingers and toes. Dam 3 hour compile times!!!!

And while you're at it,

Warning: Leaf portals saw into leaf

fix that too.

Warning: Larger than expected texture (348972 bytes): 'METAL066A'

Start with that. most people recommend you keep your textures at 256x256 and below also:

planes 31664/32768 633280/655360 (96.6%)

whatever planes are, your almost out of them! research what they are and methods to reduce them.

Next:
Regarding the error RotorSplint mentioned: yes in general you don't want these and they can be very harmful in many ways, but one, i wouldn't worry about. you can also see if full vis gets rid of it.

Next:
i know the zhlt tools come with a RAD file, hammer expert and batch compiler will look for RAD files in your map directory, and also in batch compiler you can specify another you want. I've never seen that sort of error, but maybe try to eliminate some of those sources...

Lastly, you only need to add the -chart parameter once, at the last stage of your compile(usually RAD), unless, you really want to read it 4 seperate times. ; )

OK. I'll try to hunt down that leaf portal, but I've never had a problem with that warning before. Usually I get one of those on each map I do and it compiles fine.

I hate that dam larger than normal texture one. It's in my .wad but I'm not using it in my map. I'll just delete those from the .wad I guess. I just checked the "-chart" box in the compilator. First time using a batch compiler too.

If those don't work, I'll jusy start deleting shit till it compiles. LOL.

Thanks for the input guys!
