MAX_NODES error

[Edy94]

So i rebuild the entire map, i get this error .
I add some complex brushes into an unchecked group, i rebuild, no error.
I add more complex brushes into the group, i get the same error.

?

UE1 Maps can only have a maximum of 65536 nodes. So your map most likely got too big (roughly said).

[Edy94]

Nod count includes brushes from groups?

Build stats

[Trapmaster]

I add more complex brushes into the group

Grouping does not affect the nodecount actually. It's the overall geometry/polycount that leads to a higher nodecount in the end.

[Edy94]

Ill try delete the trash brushes this time.

[Trapmaster]

Could work actually. Just better finish off the map soon as you will sooner or later hit the limit again.

[Edy94]

Rebuilded with like 500 deleted brushes. Still crash :/

Tis the Judgment of Chief, and it is deadly, yet fear it not, thou followers of Mord, good Mappers all. For the Judgment of Mord will eliminate they who do not believe, they who would stop us, they who are the enemies of progress and enlightenment.

But thou Hast fallen into the path of chiefisum, Thou shall be forever in darkness! Give thanks to lord Mord and his gift of the grid, as he watches over us to smite thine goblin enemies! Unto thou has embraced the lord Mord, Thou shalt be forever in darkness and alone with thine titans and errors. Never shalt thou be alone, whilst the Eyes of Mord are with thee!

what trap said there always best to have multiply saves as you go along so you have different saves to fall back on. once you hit that limit you start to get a few crashes regardless of you deleting the brushes, i had same problem long time ago, not much i could suggest other then what you allready tried, delete your last section of complex brushes. but bare what trap said in mind

Could work actually. Just better finish off the map soon as you will sooner or later hit the limit again.

if you get it working again, you need to finish it soon as you will jsut keep getting that error, theres a limit as to what you can build and you just hit it.

How bad is the grid on 1 unit? Cause i've kinda used it all the time xD

my point exactly, thou is't a chief follower, thou shalt forever be in darkness unto thou has embraced the lord mord always use a high a grid setting as possible. most my buildings are never below 64 grid size, somtimes its 32, never EVER lower then that unless its decoration or i just cannot help it.

boo to you, insiders :p

[Edy94]

I think i've hit the limit like 2 months ago..

Anyway, heres a room of the map

[NeuroFunkeR]

maybe theres a chance to port it to U2/U3 engine, and adopt it to any mod project out there? Would be a shame, to cut it in half, cause of outdated U1 engine.

[Edy94]

Not rly half. Some of the decorations are just too complex and fill the node count too fast. I might just delete some or replace with simpler ones.
