every time I try to compile I get an error looking like this:
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ugexh7cu2crdf93/Hammer%20-%20%5BC__Users_Nate_Documents_Documents_Official%20Map_weirdbug.vmf%20-%20Textured%5D%2007_05_2020%2013_23_44.png?dl=0

Nothing is sticking out of the grid, there are no leaks or errors, it's not brush limit because no matter how many I remove still the same issue and an earlier version with way more brushes compiles fine. So I have no clue why it won't compile.

Map view: (I also tried removing the outer border and didn't do anything)

Compile log (as far as it got before the error message):

So this is the culprit:

Code: [Select]
Too many unique verts, max = 65536 (map has too much brush geometry)
vbsp is usually pretty good at telling you about errors, so its always a good idea to read through the compile log for anything like this. if you arent sure though, you can pop the log into this: https://www.interlopers.net/errors/
that will catch most general stuff that you might have missed

For addressing the error itself, you can either cut down on brush geometry, turn some stuff into displacements or use something like propper to convert the brushes to props
