my poorly map Created 20 years ago2003-11-16 13:23:06 UTC by Tayl0r54

im still having problems with compiling my map, i appear to have solved the "portal saw into leaf" problem but vis still took 20hrs and rad doesnt seem to have been run again, could it be cause i added -sparse to the cmd line or what?, anyways ive posted the .rmf for it in the problem maps section of the map vault, perhaps someone could check it out for me :), heres the log file too:

HELP!

You can't use more than four wadfiles. I think it's four. Oh my god, you are using over eight!! If you use Wally you can make one wadfile of all of these.

yea i know i can put em into 1 file but as i havent finished i dunno what textures are gonna be in it. and the max is 8, ive been using 8 since the start and it used to compile fine so thats not the problem

Guess your right, but still, try it anway

Try fixing the sky brushes, and compiling it in normal mode with VIS and RAD checked.
Your -sparse might not be right, or you might have forgotten a gap somewhere.
It is a complex map, so I would expect it to take a while to compile, but there is no reason that RAD shouldn't run... You have included the hlrad.exe in the tools folder, haven't you?

and its 8 wads not 4.
