Nah, it's an old one.

MAX_POINTS_ON_WINDING means that there are more than 64 vertices on the same axis. Could happen when u made a large ladder. Try to find out where u have many brushes on the same axis line and remove some. It also could happen that u hold 'space' for a while, so a brush has been copied and pasted a lot on the same place: so also try to find for z-fighting brushes it will look like this:

(z-fighting is an effect when there are 2 or more brushes mixed up in each other)

It is actually the second error explained in the Sticky thread "Compiling Errors - List 'em and their solutions" right at the top of this forum. Look there first, as most errors have probably been eccountered by others over the 3 year period since MOHAA came out ;)
