I am in the process of adding path nodes for the dogs but once I added the last batch of path nodes and ran a test compile I am getting this error "LoadBspFile: Buffer for lump 40 is too small". The compiler stops at this point and refuses to continue so this isn't a problem I can just overlook.

I'm assuming I've hit a glass ceiling on how much I can add to this map? Or is this a problem that can be fixed or worked around?

For starters, the map it's-self compiles just fine without the nodes, and what I have been doing while installing the nodes is to add nodes to a section, then compile to make sure everything is fine, deal with any problems until it does compile fine, then move on to the next section.

It isn't until I hit this current section that I encountered this problem.

In looking at the demo map mp_castle included with the map tools, I notice that they broke the map up into several components, a _geo map, a _sound map etc. and then linked them together. Could this be a possible solution to this problem, and if so how does one link maps together like this?

Thank you in advance :)

Right there what you said. It didnt' start happening until you added the path nodes. Did you connect them right? and do they have worldspawn settings in the entity window editor? Try to go through the path nodes and make sure they don't have worldspawn entries. One last idea comes to mind. Did you copy the pathnode and just duplicate it? If so that could cause an issue.

Ah yes I did copy and paste in large blocks.

Okay thank you I'll give that a try. :)

I'm not sure what you mean about did I connect them right? I made sure they were not more that 256 units apart (actually they are all 128 units apart) and I chose "Link Paths" in the compiler.

I didn't have a problem with the nodes for about 75% of the map, but it was only when I added this last block that the problem popped up.
