Help???:confused: ???

MAX_MAP_VISIBILITY exceeded error has been covered a lot just do a search in this forum and in JO mapping.

Keywords
max_map_visibility (duh!)
detail
structural
hint

You'll find searching for stuff like that will get you the answer in at least 5 threads.

yeah i missed it... i found some good stuff off google.
Alright i got my map to compile with vis...but it takes like 48 hours to compile the vis (well not completly i stopped after 48 hours)
on the last line it goes u know 1....2.....3.....4.....5....
well 5 took about 20 hours before going to 6
and then i just canceled after six....
and i pretty much detailed almost all the brushes that werent leading outside.....
Any idea's?


One more thing tho
When i do a light compile. (maybe its cuz of vis) anyways my fps is super low to compare when there is no light compile (talking about the meta compile) like in one place its at 150 on the meta comiplle. and then after the light compile it drops to 30......
How or why is that???...and well more importantly how do i prevent it?

Is this a really big map? Like flying type map or has a huge outdoor area?

hmm....its not THAT big, its basically like a mansion,there are some MUCH bigger maps out there...there's no planes...only vehicle is a swoop...
hmm i think i had about 3500 brushes if i last remember + or - 100 or 2


Just want to know, if its cuz of the vis that fps is so much lower with the lighting process. then without it

I've been reading some tutorials...and could it be because i have A LOT of areaportals?

How many is ALOT?

And post some screenshots of your map in GTK, one with Detail brushes filtered and one without.
