I got this error somebody knows how I can fixx?? :???:

Greetz, V!Ru$

kamikazee · 2006-06-05 11:09:06 UTC

Just enter MAX_MAP_VISIBILITY into the search box and it will turn up usefull results for sure. This is a common problem if you’re quite new to mapping, probably everyone has seen the error once.

Don’t let this get you down, and keep on mapping!

V_Ru · 2006-06-05 11:19:48 UTC

where can I find search box? :banghead: and how can I fixx this…?

spaffdog · 2006-06-05 11:25:54 UTC

scroll up. right there at the top on the left

nUllSkillZ · 2006-06-05 12:12:54 UTC

Search

nikita · 2006-06-05 13:05:21 UTC

11200 portalclusters
perdon but what the hell did u make???

anyway this error can be very fustriting… do a bit search.

Chain-iT · 2006-06-06 18:23:45 UTC

sorry but i broke that record before with 36500 portalclusters :), i could reduce it to around 2500 so no prob

EB1 · 2006-06-07 08:16:05 UTC

I transferred this thread so it can be archived here as well as @ map-craft.com
The search function is our friend…that is why I have brought this post to SD’s forum.

eb's post:

The _blocksize increase idea is good, but in such a severe situation…lowering it to “0” is the best answer BUT BY NO MEANS A FIX.

What blocksize does is create portals at the default blocksize of 1024…which means a cube of portals will be built every 1024 on the grid.(lamens explanation)
…Stay with me…there is more;

Structural brushes will create portals…
Detail brushes will not…
Blocksize “#” creates portals…(“0” creates none)
Toooooo many portals = MAX_MAP_VISIBILITY errors

Now creating a well laid out map is not brain science, but it is a difficult idea to puzzle together without knowing how to use things the way they were meant to be used.

Take these images for my examples (when I use the terms “---- brushwork” I am speaking about the brushes inside of the room.)

the room

the room’s portals with default blocksize and structural brushwork

the room’s portals with default blocksize and detail brushwork

the room’s portals with 0 blocksize and detail brushwork

the room’s portals with 0 blocksize and structural brushwork

Learning to build a map while using these rules is a tough thing to grasp no matter how it is explained…simply because it is not something that you can be told, but rather something you need to test, practice and learn.(If you want your large maps to run well or even be capable of compiling)

…I have a tutorial map on this subject…
includes:
.map file
README.txt (which NEEDS to be read)
.bsp
.arena
…this tutorial file is all about portals, FPS gains/losses and Tris count. I won’t say it will be easy to understand but I like to think that I made the “concepts” easier to understand.
Hidden Link >>> **** http://spyjuice.com/maps/tris_fps_vis.pk3 ****

good luck

note: I reduced the default blocksize (in the images)from 1024 to 256 for easier portalling representation.

V_Ru · 2006-06-10 11:22:20 UTC

thnx for all replays but I searchd on searchbox for more error topics about this error but still dont know how to fixx it? PLEASE SOMEBODY KNOWS…

iwound · 2006-06-10 11:43:52 UTC

V!Ru$ - select your small brushes, right click and select detail.

too many ‘use search’ comments and not enough answers

V_Ru · 2006-06-10 12:01:11 UTC

thnx for ur awnser where I got something with, but could u explain more in detail where I can find all things and how in steps I can fixx it, please… BIG thanks for it… :drink:

iwound · 2006-06-10 13:20:20 UTC

http://www.wolfensteinx.com/surface/tutorials.html
Hard to explain when we dont know exactly what stage you are at.
Try reading the tutorials that are relevant to you.
Post a picture of your map in GTKradiant. keep it small.
try a tutorial on useing GTK radiant. good luck

EB1 · 2006-06-11 05:04:44 UTC

I thought my post explained the problem quite well…technical but if you try to comprehend…you’ll understand.

Plus…if you actually got the tutorial map I pointed you to, then you would have more than enough information to make sense of it all.

thanks y’all!! :drink:
