You didn't say where you used the portal texture for

... areaportal won't give fogging errors (doesn't even have a 1st stage).

Try removing the "-fast" option for vis.

-v > C:\Documents and Settings\tltrude\Desktop\log_vis.txt

Using "-v" (verbose) will give more info about the vis compile.

well i tried it but it took well over half an hour. i'll leave it on overnight on my secondary computer, but how do you get the log? it doesnt recognize -v > <path> as a valid command.

The path can be to any folder you want, and the name of the text file can be any name. Just hit "change" for the vis option in Mbuilder. Then type in the verborse option, and a right arrow, followed by the full path. There has to be spaces between the three parts.

-v > C:\Documents and Settings\tltrude\Desktop\log_vis.txt

I have it going to my desktop -- makes it easier to trash later. You wont see the vis compile in the dos window during the compile. But, the log will be constantly updating itself.

Here is how it would look in a batch file with all three compiles being logged.

"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\Q3map.exe" -v > C:\Documents and Settings\tltrude\Desktop\log_bsp.txt -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\tltrude\test.map
"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\Q3map.exe" -vis -v > C:\Documents and Settings\tltrude\Desktop\log_vis.txt -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\tltrude\test.map
"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\MOHlight.exe" -final > C:\Documents and Settings\tltrude\Desktop\log_light.txt -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\tltrude\test.map
pause
Copy "C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\tltrude\test.bsp" \main\maps

That "-vis" is not typed into the vis options of Mbuilder -- it puts it in there by itself.
