MAX_PATCHES, MAX_LIGHTS, Gotta be f***n kidding me...
« on: November 09, 2014, 02:18:05 AM »
I should not have started doing anything on the Q2 engine. I knew of its restrictions, but I thought I could circumvent it with KMQ2, KMQBSP and ARGHRAD. Guess not...

Look at this thing! It's so simple! How could I be hitting limits (especially with an engine/tools like that)!
Although I must admit, I should put a few doors in and vis portals. That could do the trick. Still, I am dissapoint >.>
Only 1 light is present too, and -4096 < map < 4096...

Maps have to be compiled with a special command to be larger then normal, don't they?

check to see if you have surface lighting on any of the texture flags. if you only put in one light entity and aren't using a sun in the worldspawn section, the rest are coming from somewhere.

Well, yeah I've been using -moreents and -largebounds or whatever, and that too took some work. I believe chop 240 fixed it again after a certain geometry change had rekt it. It's already getting sketchy and I didn't put most of the map in yet... I think it's just my surfaces messing the rad though.

another thing to check would be the sky. if you have the sky set with a light texture flag it can make a ton of lighted triangles to deal with as well.

I might try the chopsky # argument in qrad or arghrad. Use a large number that's an exponent of 2 as the value. it will set a lower limit on the size of those sky triangles and give you less lighted surfaces.

MAX_PATCHES with ArghRad 3.00T9, MAX_LIGHTS or something with good ol QRad3.

Here's the important section of my batch builder
Code: [Select]

I even tried adding higher multiples of 240 as light chops (960, 1920) because somebody wrote that it would reduce the number of patches being occupied. Didn't work  :'(

It's also interesting how the map can have no light ents whatsoever and still fail with the same error.

You should post a copy of your earthquake sound. :lol:

Focalor, here's the sound directly from that mod: http://ledzep.tastyspleen.net/files/herecomes.wav
But it's only the vox part I whipped up at the AT&T text-to-speech showcase. The rumble behind it is the regular Q2 earthquake effect (which triggers at the same time).

You should be using `-chop 1024` for a map with such absurdly large surfaces. That will hopefully bring you down into a reasonable patches count. The MAX_LIGHTS message is an inaccurate error reported by qrad -- a typo, really. It has nothing to do with light entities. Rather, it's equivalent to MAX_PATCHES, which means that the compiler can't subdivide your map's faces into a reasonable number of patches to gather radiosity for them. While this limit is sort of arbitrary and modest for today's systems, the fact that you're hitting these limits should tell you something.

Even if you get that thing to compile, as soon as you throw entities into it, people will overflow when trying to connect because the entity baselines will blow out the 1400 byte packet size (MAX_MSGLEN). Your map is way too wide-open to VIS well.

Crap on the engine all you want, fucking thing's 20 years old. But this isn't exactly an example of fine mapping either :lol: The Quake engine was built for rendering indoor environments: not football field-sized box maps.

Here are a whole bunch of .map file sources you can use to learn how to make Quake2 maps:

If I don't smoke some bud I'll shrivel up and die like a beautiful flower without water.
