I've encountered a pretty unfortunate error for my map. It happened once I added the final bonus to it. After looking around on the internet for a quick second I understand that this error occurs when there is too much complex geometry in the map. func_detailing doesnt really help in this case. I read some shit about this "propper" plugin that may help, but I havent done anything with that yet. I'll keep searching for a solution, I just wanted to post here to see if anyone knew. :(

 plz and thank you

EDIT: fixed problem, doing a number of things (if anyone cares) :

-removed a few light entities that weren't needed
-had some faces that were on the outside of the map (no one sees them) that weren't nodraw textured, applied nodraw texture to them
-had a ramp that was just for show (certainly was "complex geometry") got rid of it.
-clipped off extraneous walls hanging off the visible stages
-changed  lightmap scale to 64 (select all > ctrl +A)
-lined up two of the stages with the brown grid lines on the TOP view. I read that it helps one way or the other.

TL;DR: just the result of bad mapping, move along.

lightmap scale of 64 seems a bit over the top, taking 16 as default, the highest i normally have to go is 28. looks like you probably are just hitting a brush/face limit, and a 30ish sec vvis compile shows theres still room for optimization visleaf/func detailing wise

Right on, I'll lower lightmap scale. I was just paranoid over trying to get my map to compile. Moar optimization as well.

s00n.

Also, was it noob of me to be proud of my 24 second vvis compile time? That's the quickest I've gotten it. :( heh

I always like to boast jump volcanic's 1 second vvis compile time, but it does depend on the map, so ye

Got my vvis to 19 seconds.... lol. I cant lower the lightmap scale any :( anything lower than 64 and I get:

But to be honest, my last map had like 110 lightmap scale, albeit it looks like trash. I've decompiled surf_cyanide (by Diealready) and his skyboxed walls have 128, his walls have 32, his ramps have 16.. so idk what to use as a sample. But meh I'm probably going to roll with 64 lightmap scale unless I can quickly fix it. I'm p much finished with this map.

maybe it has something to do with the 10-15+ curved ramps 




or maybe I'm just a poor mapper. I'm voting the latter o:
