Ok I have read all the other posts about max_map_lighting, but none help me! My map is pretty big, and to cover the whole thing in ground required me to split the brushes alot, but I did that and I don't get that error, but now I get teh max_map_lighting error. I have two buildings on the map and neither have any ground under them at all. This map works if there is no ground brushes down. It does have a skybox. If someone wants I can send them my map. Here is the compile:

Thanks for the help!!

Make sure you've only got the visible sides of your brushes textured, everything else should be caulk, this will lower the drawn poly count drastically, hopefully resulting in the error disappearing.

It's a good idea always to make your map in caulk first and then only apply textures to the brush faces you can see.

More errors:
- Your map also has a leak. Check your skybox
- Rename your Call of of Duty GotYE folder to "Call of Duty" This will prevent future errors.
- Move all non stock .pk3 files out of your /main folder before mappijng/compiling.

Thanks for a quick response. I caulked all the ground and then just textured the visible surface, but I still get the same thing. I didn't use caulk in the first building, but like I said the map works without the ground brushes. Any more advice? Is there perhaps something wrong with my skybox?



Thanks

Cloud

What do you mean by this? Your terrain patches have the caulk texture?

can the skybox also have caulk texture on the outside, and should i do that? thanks

Sorry for not being clear. I don't have any terrain patches, but the brush I put down for the ground is caulked besides the top surface that I textured snow. Its just a brush that is above the bottom of the skybox. Maybe I should send you my .map file?
