Press any key to continue . . .

After a 91 hour compile, I don't even get a new BSP [cry]

I'm 99% certain that the problem is with the error I put in bold. Is there anything I could do to reduce lighting such as delete models, make map smaller, make more detail brushes, etc? There is no leak and there are no light entities so the problem isnt the inner radii intersecting or whatever. Pleeease help me, I don't want to waste another 5 days compiling without results. Also, I've compiled this map several times before without error, and I added no new entities since the last time it worked, only new brushes.

I would remove those brushes you were talking about. Also did you notice the big jump in compile time soon after that? I assume you have been using the Caulk texture. Here is what the common mapping errors says about it: Reduce the total surface area of the drawable polygons in the map. This will reduce the number/size of the lightmaps, reducing the number of lightmap pages created, reducing the total size of the lightmaps in the .bsp. Drawable polygons are created for a surface even when that surface is hidden by a detail brush. Apply textures/common/caulk to these surfaces, or delete them entirely if they are patches. Drawable polygons are also created for surfaces that are only partially hidden by structural brushes - and, providing that the drawable polygon is convex, parts of it may still be hidden behind structural brushes, taking up extra lightmap area. If there is a significant amount of the area on a surface hidden by a structural brush, split the surface up until only the visible part exists.

Yes, I have been making all of my brushses out of cualk and only texturing the showing faces. Based on what you posted, it sounds like I need to reduce the amount drawn surfaces. My map is very large horizontally and vertically. I'll try cutting some more off of the skybox and bring it lower, since the "problem" brushes are vital to making this map fun. One more quick question though, does it matter whether brushes are structural or detailed? Currently, I'd guess about 3000 of the 7000 brushes are detailed, but i would gladly make more if it helps. Thx for the info.

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! Glenn <3 Red Glenn <3 Red Glenn <3 Red Glenn <3 Red Glenn <3 Red Reduced the skybox a little, blocked off access to the back side of a skyscraper and caulked a whole side of it and did a little moving stuff around to get as much as possible caulked to compensate for the new brushes I added. Now it works fine. TY TY TY. My map should be released tomorrow now

Yes, took just over an hour, party because I doubled the amount of detailed brushes though. Thanks again, I'm making the pk3 right now
