Map C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\map_source\mp_mymapname.map, Entity 0, Brush 3870: mirrored plane


i have 4 errors just appeared like this

anyone have any ideas to save me deleting a few hours work and starting this section again?

whenever i try to find brush 3870....it just puts me in the middle of nowhere

is there any other way to see the brushes number?

brush number 3869 works

i dont wanna redo it all for it to happen again!

It means the brush is invisible, infinite, it has no co-ordinates, nothing. You can delete the brush from the .map files using notepad (unsafe) or select everything in your map and copy it in to a new map (select everything visible draw a box around everything and right click > select complete tool) then click "FILE"> "Save Selected", choose a name and save.

Then backup your yourmapname.map and delete it from the map_source, grab your saveselected.map and rename it to yourmapname.map this way you can compile and test straight away without worrying about renaming new .gscs etc..

Believe it or not if you goto menu/misc/ find brush and enter
your bad brush number(S) it will select the brush and just delete it.The brush is so huge you can t see edges is my guess. Also a guess is that some one was using cg/subtractor
Now the trick is that you can only find one bad brush per compile and if you do anything with map after compile it changes the numbers of the brushes. so compile find one bad brush delete it...compile find next bad brush and so forth.

thanks for the replys guys

will get on it tomorrow and let u know how i get on....

it does intrigue me how its happened...i havnt used csg subtract, i ve just made various shaped brushes the same way i ve made loads of others in the map, using the clipper tool.

Hi m8!

You think thats strange! what about this, I haven't got a light grid, never had one and yet my map is fine, no light problems, no rainbow effects, I think radient has got a lot of little quirks that appear randomly depending on what your doing.

this sounded the easiest so i tried this first.....

and it worked

but....now theres still another error stopping the compile, it was there before and i'd hoped it was part of the mirrored plane thingy


Winding point limit (64) exceeded on brush face



where'm i supposed to start with that?!

thanks for all your help guys

no one have any ideas? no matter how vague

if i knew wot a winding point was....it might narrow it down abit

Hi faffer m8, there are at least three mentions of winding point errors on here

Hope you find the answer to your problem


greets doa

having checked there are more mentions, maybe this one near the bottom might be the best help for you
