Error: MAX_LIGHTGRID

Post by Major Pain »

My compiler gives this error:

Code: Select all

MAX_LIGHTGRID 308792
1. What is this error? (I know it has to do with the amount of lighting)
2. How can I solve this?

Never heard that before! Sounds similar to this though:
ERROR: MAX_MAP_LIGHTING

One light affects too many surfaces.

SOLUTION: Improve vis design by using
vis_leafgroups, hint brushes and / or areaportals.
Sorry can't be more help :(

In your worldspawn, add the k/v pair lightgrid/64 64 64

That should solve the problem.

Now I have it again, even with the settings crunch gave me (it did help, but now i compiled again, and i have it again :( ). Should i set the lightgrid to 128 128 128 or 32 32 32?
