Lightdata Created 12 years ago2011-09-29 01:14:24 UTC by winds

Hey guys,
Having troubles compiling my map, or more specifically, it seems to compile perfectly but when I go to play it, cs freezes. I looked in my compilation log and it seems my lightdata is over it's limit in hlrad.

--- END hlrad ---

Compiling doesn't give me any errors, so I can only assume thats the culprit.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a way around this without having to delete lights? I tried deleting 16 lights already but that appeared to make no difference.
I also tried adding -lightdata 6144 to hlrad but hlrad just crashed during compile.
Please help

Are you using Zoner's tools?

Yeah, zhlt 3.4

as far as i know compiler log is not short like this

anyway you can try backup your map, than slice it to half, close the big leak and try again,
if it don't work, try other half

you can find the error with this method when you don't know anything about any error

if you exceed the halflife limitations, you need reduce from everything a bit

I found the problem. I had two lights that were turning on and off with a multi manager. Apparently those 2 lights alone took up half of my light data. Still though, does anyone know why using -lightdata 6144 doesn't work when compiling?

Because -lightdata is a shared option and must be set with the same value on both BSP and CSG.

Thanks Dragos,
But I actually tried it with The Compilator, which set it for everything automatically, and as well as a batch file, still no go
