Looking at the video the map is big but not that big, no way on earth you should be reaching the Brush/meshes limit unless your mapping technique is wrong. I dont think its totally wrong but it seems you are using small brushes and meshes perhaps where you dont need them. I can see broken glass made of patches sticking out of window frame, there are 20+ models of glass to achieve this, and this is just one example. The Export from Radiant to Maya can be done, i used it but its not recommended for large scale, certainly i wouldn't try and export a full prefab. My advice to you is this: Check out all the Xmodels availiable to you to try and reduce all these small brushes/patches (you can use my GALLERY for this ); If you own COD4 also and see models you would like to use, give me a shout i would convert them to CODWAW for you. Good Luck, this map looks good! Thx for your reply. Hmmm, all the broken glass is made of 0.25 units thick brushes. But yea there are hundreds of these. I did found some glass models but i havnt tried them. I think the dimensions of the glass will force me to adjust my window sizes to fit the glass, and i hate beeing forced to something. I know i can scale the models but can i also scale the with and height seperatly? The map is also covered with hundreds of bricks made of a single brush. I only found 4 models with bricks but they have the wrong texture. I dont think i have too many verts on the terain. I really kept it to a minimum. I dont have cod4 anymore, never really liked it, i still find cod:uo the best game in the cod series. If you want i send you the .map file so you can have a look and tell me where i am going wrong. All advice from you experienced guys is really apreciated. :) edited on May. 12, 2009 10:42 am by Spuddy

Take those single bricks, again they are models for this. Because you are forcing the limit of the game by mapping the way you do, not only you are now at the max but you will most likely be faced with other issues such as low FPS, lag and possibly the dreaded 2048 assets error. You must find ways to substitute the small items by models where possible.

Wow. I didn't think it was pirated. :\ Sorry about that guys... That's pretty bold of them to sell it online like that if it was pirated. Sorry, i thought it was legit.

Just a question Have you made any of the brushes in your map detail?? If not you may want to try it. Anything that is not a structural wall or brush aka something that is holding a portal together or is the floor/wall/roof of a building can be made a detail brush by selecting it and right clicking your mouse and find “make detail”. All brushes are by default structural and will add up quick if you are making a large map this can reduce your compile time + FPS in game for lower end video cards. If you have already done this hope you get your models from someone Ob1 edited on May. 16, 2009 03:21 am by nerdobiwan edited on May. 16, 2009 03:23 am by nerdobiwan

Only brushes that will later make part of a portal are kept structural.
