[WIP] Precipice

[Siliconmaster]

Thanks. I'm working now to get all 4 platforms updated. Shouldn't take long, all I have to do is get them positioned and attached, then change 2 of them to have blue lights.

Did you make that light texture your self or what? I like it

[Siliconmaster]

No, I didn't. It's a cropped version of the light strips textures. There's a large yellow/orange light (depending on whether it's the blue or red lights) at the end of the strip texture which not a whole lot of people use. I was looking for a cool one, and decided to crop that. Glad you like it. : )

[Arteen]

Looks great!

[Bastinka]

Becoming quite a work of art.

Well then. It appears that the map does not want to compile. Am I just screwed, or is there some way around it?

Edit: Even toolio, the hacked tool doesn't compile it. Lol.

[StankBacon]

it appears you have too many tags.

[Siliconmaster]

Ah, you're indeed right. I thought it was the structure itself, but it's the tags. I'll go in and delete any I'm not using.

Damn, I can get it to within 1.57 Mb by deleting unused tags, but the structure bsp is almost 20 mb by itself. Wait a sec, aren't there maps much larger than this? Like the SP maps? How can they compile?

Ask masterz for that one tool that compiles more then than that. or something

[Siliconmaster]

It compiles with that, but still crashes. Isn't it a hard-coded limit?

It's just frustrating to have a limit on the structure. It either means I have to do a LOT of optimizing, which wouldn't be such a bad idea anyway, or I can't make everything that detailed.
