I do....

i got the same problem with my really feally giga surf map...

[code:1]Error: Exceeded MAX_PATCHES
Description: The map has a problem which must be fixed

[/code:1]

u can start to check the ZHLTProblems.html

Find MAX_PATCHES there....

but anyway you got ONE brush were are bigger then it should be
so find ur biggest or bigger than biggest brush
and split it in 2-3 brushes, so it will be correct and it will work

wrong wrong wrong......
the problem is that u have ur textures scaled down too much if u scale up some of ur textures it will work i did this in my map surf_lofman and voila it worked

the problem is that the lights splits the textures in different pices.
so every time a texture is shown its one pice.
if u have a face of 256x256 and put a 256x256 texture on it thatllbe 1 patch. but if u put a 128x128texture onn it or scale the texture down to half the size that will be 4 patches
do you understand?

as it is now u have a total of: 90970 patches. the max is around 65000 so scale down ur textures!

When hlrad runs, it creates patches to cover all your surfaces. Each patch stores what the lighting looks like in that spot.

By default ONE single patch covers 64x64 pixels of textures in your map. You are only allowed 65535 patches total.

There are two ways to fix the problem.

1) Scale your textures bigger. This will stretch out your textures and also your patches.

2) Use bigger patches. You can stretch JUST your patches by adding a -chop value to your compile script, like this:

hlrad -chop 128 mapname

This will cause your patches to cover 128x128 pixels per patch. Using only 1/4 as many patches total. This will make your lighting look blockier though.

Thanks superjer.. U just saved my AVP map.... Large map only tunnels in the space ship, like in "aliens 4 ressurection" if anyone saw :P

I want to make a HL mod! Doing everythig with HL except coding C++ | its not interesting to work alone
