try the “brush cleanup” button. (its the green and blue arrow on your toolbar) in radiant. hope that works. btw you don’t have an autosave where you have it whitout that?

Hej Tyrlop!

I have also done things like that. Once I had to throw away the terrain (because there was some stupid bug or whatever and I had no back up - and I couldn’t use the .bak-file either (see below)). I know this is of no help, but I guess it is just a phase in the mapping career.

Nowadays I always make backups (I use the date in the filename)… In my folder, it might look like this:
mymap_010106.bsp
mymap_030906.bsp
et cetera…

Also, the editor creates automatic backup files, so called .bak-files. So you will always have a file called mymap.bak besides your original mymap.map. However, it is automatically overwritten on a regular basis.

How to use the .bak-file? Just copy it, rename it to mymap.map and open it in the editor.

get ultraedit - open the map in it and try “remove duplicates” (or whatever the name was)

if that produces errors you could have a look at the map file yourself - if you’re lucky the new brushes have only been appended at the end of the original set - so search the middle line number and split the file…

Never ask what Google can find: http://www.google.com/search?q=ultraedit :wink:

idk if its sure, but if you copy everything it just makes new brushes when you open the .map file in a text editor?

DUPLICATE your mapname.map RENAME IT
then open it with a text editor like notepad
and delete the half of the brushes :stuck_out_tongue:

maybe that works ^^

it’s just a enhanced texteditor… of course you can do it manually as well using notepad or whatever editor you have
