KZ Timer Prefab? in Hammer Mapping
Anyone have a link? Been looking for a while and can't seem to find any KZ timers. Tried decompiling a KZ map but the textures of the clock's numbers get messed up.

Actually, the whole map is in pieces. Stretching from the top of the grid to the bottom. They used sky texture on practically every inch of outside the walls. Have you ever decompiled fun_allinone out of curiosity?

Error: Exceeded MAX_PATCHES in Hammer Mapping
"1) YES, I have a hollowed box around my map, isn't really huge it kinda humps the walls. This isn't going anywhere seeing as I can't get rid of the leaks any other way. "
Seems like I've understood it from the get-go. Seems as if it's been in my head that it could be a possibility, because there ARE ways to get around it (i.e: cutting off a huge chunk of the map). Albeit, not the best solutions to the problem. I've tried several times to remove the box and failed at fixing the leak the right way. But nonetheless I'm going to try some more.
I don't want you to think I'm completely oblivious to the fact that the box could be and most likely is the main problem. Because I know putting huge boxes around the map are terrible map making habits to get accustomed to. I'm just saying there are workarounds. I was just looking for those, but I guess my only solution is to fix the sky.
Thanks for the help though. Much appreciated.
EDIT: I'm still wondering how do people make gigantic maps such as fun_allinone and not run into this problem. Do they use a better method of compiling, like the Batch Compiler?

Yeah I realize it could be the box, and have realized. But I'd prefer to find a way around it has much as possible. If it is simply impossible to work around it, I'll try and find another way to fix the leak.
Thanks for the picture though, finally understood where to put it.
EDIT: Haha, gettin bad surface extents now. Love it.

I take it you don't use ZHLT's Compiler Tools?

origin brush in Hammer Mapping
Use the Origin texture (the green one), and basically make hinges of the door on the side you want to "stick" to the wall. The side without the Origin brush is the side that will swing back and forth.
Peace.
Peace.

So for -chop, I put $light_exe-chop 128 in the CMDS part of the compiler settings? Cause I'm not quite sure where to put -chop 128.

Error: Exceeded MAX_PATCHES in Hammer Mapping
I'm having some lighting problems, and I know the problem. MAX_PATCHES, I have no idea how to correct this problem. I ALWAYS seem to get it on big maps, but when I decompile other maps (such as fun_allinone), they're even bigger than mine. My map isn't really big, it's a good size. How is it possible for other people to make insanely huge maps but I can't even make a decent sized map without getting this problem?
Now let me get a few things out there:
1) YES, I have a hollowed box around my map, isn't really huge it kinda humps the walls. This isn't going anywhere seeing as I can't get rid of the leaks any other way.
2) I'm fairly new to map making, this is my first de_ map because I've only made fy_ and gg_ maps. So please, I beg of you, explain in a detailed, step by step, process of what I need to do to fix this MAX_PATCHES problem.
3) Use correct grammar, it's hard to understand people's explanations when they don't.
4) http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm#leafsaw <---Do not show me this link, because I've seen it a hundred times and do not understand his explanation of how to fix this problem (i.e: -sparse, -chop, etc).

Now if anyone can help me fix this problem, please speak up. I'm pretty desperate. Explain to me how to utilize -sparse, -chop, and all that other good stuff. All I'm looking for is an experienced mapper to explain to me the solution in a highlydetailed (cannot stress that enough) paragraph.
If you need my .map file and my .wad to take a look at it, let me know. I'll be willing to send them. Thanks in advance.
Peace.

Now if anyone can help me fix this problem, please speak up. I'm pretty desperate. Explain to me how to utilize -sparse, -chop, and all that other good stuff. All I'm looking for is an experienced mapper to explain to me the solution in a highlydetailed (cannot stress that enough) paragraph.
If you need my .map file and my .wad to take a look at it, let me know. I'll be willing to send them. Thanks in advance.
Peace.
