Looping Compile Error

Gamer90234 · 09-26-2011, 03:58 AM

Hi Everyone. I am having a very frustrating time trying to compile my map. I asked for help here back in february, but I never ended up getting anywhere. I shelved the map for a few months and I have recently pulled the map back out, made modifications to it, and I finally have it to a playable state. h=However, I am still stuck on this error. here is the compile log:

Here is the problem, this is the EXACT same compile log that I got in february. It was determined back then that there was too much brush geometry. I can say with all certainty that this is not the case. I have gone as far as deleting half of the map and it still arrives at the same conclusion. Hammer's compiler is pretty much stuck in a loop at this point.

And yes, I have checked the log at interlopers.net. It didn't find anything wrong with it.

Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.

vbsp stops after this

Too many unique verts, max = 65536 (map has too much brush geometry)

i blame tjunctions

Fr0Z3n · 09-26-2011, 07:48 AM

TJuncts (since doom didn't explain them) are places where 2 brushes intersect to form a T. So if you have stuff like, fences, railings, a long brush with a lot of walls interesting to it, these all add to th TJunct count. Either remove them, or use propper to make them models.

Also as a warning, I notice the maps name is "ctf_campus" There have been many times in the past where students make maps of their school and such, and get into a lot of trouble with the police, the school (and their parents), because it is construed as planning something harmful for people.

I found this in the log:

Yep - be careful about what you DO choose to map - mapping the wrong thing will probably put you onto the Department Of Homeland Security's Watch List, No Fly lst and a bunch of other lists you've never even heard of.

I appreciate the advice. This is really just a pet project for my schools community and I have never planned to have it go further than that. As a precaution, I am also planning to have anyone who downloads the map, sign a waiver stating that they are not allowed to redistribute it publicly.

there goes my idea of pl_pentagon

Gamer90234 · 09-27-2011, 06:59 PM

So, after sectioning off areas of my map with the cordon tool, I have determined that there is too much geometry. Does anyone know if I would be able to view how many vertices I have in the map so I can have an idea of how much I need to work on?
