Cant compile due to max brushes =(

(poohBear) #1

Hi! I am using misc_model to import an architectural model which I have created in 3ds Max, into Gtk Radiant. After that, i set spawnflags to 2 for the autoclipping feature. However, when I tried to compile, there were some warnings, and the file could not be compiled successfully.

…
WARNING: MAX_MAP_PLANES (1048576) hit generating clip brushes for model models/myModel.ase
…
…
ERROR*
MAX_MAP_BRUSHES (32768)

Is there anyway whereby I can successfully compile the map without actually altering the original architectural model??? HELP!!

I would try to clip it by hand.
I think the auto clipping is creating to many brushes.

WOW! AMAZED! I am surprised the PROMPT reply!! THANX!

btw, what do u mean by clipping by hand? Sorry but I have no idea on how to go abt doing it. Is it a function in Radiant itself???

You should turn of / delete the spawnflag.
And then make brushes that roughly form the shape of your model (no details) by hand / manually.
Texture these brushes with a clip texture.

Actually clip_weapon might be a better choice. Sorry Null :wink:

gringo> what do u mean by clip_weapon? Is it just one of the texture like CLIP and caulk??Whats the difference actually?? Or is it like sppawnflags whereby u need to enter a variable in the entity window?

Anyway I tried the manual clip. It works for certain models but for one of my model there was some error when I tried to compile and the warning says that it cant find myModel.prt file =(

@poohBear, it would be a shader you paste onto the ‘clip brushes’ but before you try to find it, see my question below…

@Gringo, what game do you have which uses clip_weapon? I can`t find it in any of the et or rtcw shaders… is it a custom one?

I think he means weaponclip.

It’s a simple default Q3 shader (should also be available in ET and RTCW) used to block both player movement and weapons fire.

ah, found it although it`s name is slightly different.

textures/common/clipweap
{
	qer_trans 0.3
	surfaceparm nodraw
	surfaceparm nomarks
	surfaceparm trans
}

ThanX! ! Used the common/clip texture and it worked!

Gonna try using the weapon_clip method too.Does it reduce the brush count?

actutaly weapon clip clips gunfire so player could still walk through your model

clips are uself for alpha textures as well, if you used one to make a fence then player and bulets could pass through so you would use the clip texture and clip_missle to stop grenades and panzers passing through, but you would still be able to shoot bulets through =)
