ok... I just started trying to map again, remaking Surefall to redo the long awaited Surefall 2.. I'm getting hit with this error and it's driving me NUTS.. It wasn't doing it until a little bit ago..
I've tried entering the _blocksize 8192 but it's not doing anything
I'm using GTK 1.4 btw

check for brushes that have alot of faces.
for instance if your trying to make a cylinder from a brush by clipping.

hope that makes sence to you if not ask...

It's in the errors thread in this forum...

If you have this error, then you have a cluster of geometry getting sliced up too much in the compile. If you can't figure out where the problem is, then compile your map using Q3map2 with -debugportals (assuming you have the q3map.shader installed & in shaderlist.txt) then run your map and look for areas with lots of portals (the portals should appear as colored transparent walls in the game if you used the -dbugportals switch). Once you find the area that looks like it might be causing the problem, see if you can cut down on the geometry there and/or make sure your using detail brushes as well instead of only structural brushes. If you can't figure out where the problem is, then your only option is to run the -light phase in the compile with the -lomem switch (using Q3map2)to disable the trace tree subdivision, but use that as a last resort.

where do I find Q3map2 these days? And does it do ladders correctly now? =) last time I tried it it did not...

strangely enough, it started working in Radiant again.. go figure..  well I now have a nice generated ground for portions and am looking forward to revamping this. Wish me luck!

btw, am looking for a AAS maker (why are you laughing?)  

do I want to use Q3maptoolz or what?

you want to use UBER Radiant  

This is for EF1 not necessarily 2.. (although I suppose I COULD do 2.......) ... last I used Uberradient was 2 years ago..

This is an explanation I ran across on a site:

You maybe have a brush, that intersects too many other brushes. Try to delete it or divide it to smaller brushes

But I seem to remember getting this when i had a brush with more than 12 sides made strucutral, when I made it detail the error went away.


I allways just make an aas file using a bat file with both bspc.exe and the bsp in the same directory, with the following command:

bspc.exe  -forcesidesvisible  -bsp2aas MYMAP.bsp

something you said about more than 12 sides on a brush helped me figure out why I got the error again. I tried to make large tree stumps that had 15 sides.. as soon as I deleted them  and reran the bsp it is working again. I'm going to try using the Bobtoolz plugin and see if that makes a better brush?
