duplicate brush numbers

(SenDep7) #1

Im having a problem with q3map2 dealing with duplicate brush numbers. I have a map that has been converted from quake3 and im modding it retexturing it for ET ctf, But i keep running into problems where if 2 brushes have the same brush number at BSP time only the second one gets bsp’ed whereas the first one draws as if it were a clip brush…invisible but still there. at this point i have over 5000 brushes im not going to renumber them all and everytime i add new brushes another one dissapears…any suggestions?

Also i have areas where 2 patches meet but they have similar textures. but since lightmaps are filtered seperately there is a noticeable seam…is there any solution to this short of turning off filtering?

The brush numbering is for convenience only. Your map file might be borked.

As for your lighting problem, don’t use -filter. Use -samples 2 instead for eliminating seams between patches.

could i be im hitting the max brush count?

i havent seen any warnings.
The current map has a lot of other problems that im planning on fixing. leaks…too many structrual surfaces. and i need to fix some shaders. but dont wanna continue if its a lost cause.

I’ll keep looking. thanks though.
