I can load maps made by valve (Dm_ maps) but not any other ones. Could i send someone the map for them to get it so it can recompile? cause this is really getting me frustrated. Is there some way that u can just edit the .bsp file, i mean really y did they have to make it so u have to convert it, they really need to update that.


Can I just upload it for someone to try and compile it?

I downloaded zhlt but after you extract the folder what do you do? It didn't make sense.

ZHLT is only for Goldsource-maps.

I don't think there are many Source-mappers on this forum, your best bet is the Steam-forum which has a part dedicated Source-editing: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=1e2cfa7a11ccb40ef97327fb3f28c146&f=191

Ok just incase anyone else looks at this, i want it to be reolved.

Someone on the other forum (the one killer-duck told me to go to) pointed out this line:

Brush 9468: num_entities == MAX_MAP_ENTITIES

so i have to many entites, 5000 TO MANY. I learned that when you decompile maps it makes larger brushes into a bunch of small ones. So now i have to go find all these brushes from 4096 up to 9468. Got lots of work. Thanks killer for telling me were to go to get a proper reponce.

Try to stay away from decompiling maps unless absolutely necessary.
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

The reason is that many many complex lighting calculations are performed to get the pretty shadows :)

Also the geometry is stored as a binary-space partition which makes it much more efficient to store and render. It's the best option really. Games as far back as Quake... two? three? used it.
