1. remove any custom .pk3 files from your mohaa main
2. you may have too many brushes on one big brush (max. 60 ?)

TY I got it to compile but now when i try to run the map it is almost done loading then it goes to the main menu. What could that be caused by?

After it crashes, check the console for any errors. But for a complete report it's best to type logfile 2 in console before loading the map. Then a logfile (qconsole.log) should be created in the Main dir.

(Most of the times when a map crashes to the main menu it's because people tend to forget to put an info_player_start entity in the map. It's easy to forget, so if you haven't done already try that first.)

bingo on the insert player_start info spawn. though i used to forget to put spawnpoints in also , so check that and even if you know you put one, put another.

MAX_SURFACE_INFO

A search would have told you that too many shaders will give you that error . Too many custom pk3's with custom textures . Remove some of them at least until after you have compiled your map .

K i tried putting more allies, axis and deathmatch player info but it still comes up with the error of no spawn point. What could be the problem this time?

try putting just deathmatch spawpoints and compiling as a dm/tm map and see if you can get in that way.

The 'can't find spawn'-error is only caused by not having the info_player_start. <-the yellow one

How would I add that becuase when i right click go to info then player it only has axis allied and deathmtach. I am making a dm/tdm map too.

sounds like someone is missing his entsdef.pk3 file.

K i got the map to work. I accidentally deleted my entsdef.pk3 file lol but the sunflare doesn't work. I have these values in worldspawn

Code: Select all

suncolor 60 60 60
sundirection -60 90 0
sunflarename sun

What could be wrong?
