hey guys im wondering if you can help me out here. im working on a concmap for TFC and ive run into a situation where I cant get the map to load. when it attempts to load the map, TFC closes out and brings me back to my desktop. when u check map properties there are no errors.

i dont have lighting, and my options are NO RAD, VIS NORMAL, BSP NORMAL, CSG NORMAL.

edit: i went over the logs again and it say something bout too many verticies? im confused

Error: ReadSurfs (line 32999): 33 > MAXPOINTS
This is caused by a face with too many verticies (typically found on end-caps of high-poly cylinders)

You have too many verticies, meaning that you have too much detail in it.
I didnt map back in HL times, so I cant help you with this other way than say take something out.

Maybe you should map for FF instead?

yeah its fixed, i had too many arches touching the floor texture so the engine was cutting the vis like 10000 times over.

yeah that would work but they are outside solids so then i would have to make another wall behind it or it would be outside the world regardless i worked around it and actually make it look better then it was
