Good news!! I did some clean up and there are now only 29,000 brushes!! The file size is 27 mb. I think if you go through and do a bunch of merging (Ctrl + U) I think you might be able to get below 20,000.

I'm going to try a compile in a moment...

UPDATE: Dern, still got the error.

But like I said, with more merging and such, I think the brush count may be able to drop below the limit.

Like everyone's been saying, you're not going to be able to modify the game.

But there is hope, see my post above.

Save a backup of the map before you do!
Because it is hard work to make the right ones strucural again afterwards.

Thanks!!!

Your WAY smarter than me then

I only keep one backup.

And then there's always the .bak, but I never use autobackups.

Just copy fx/dummy.tik and add 'commanddelay 0.05 delete' in the init server section... Save it in the models/static folder with some name, then in the same folder make a .map with some of your brushes you'd like to replace with the static model. Edit the QUAKED comment in the tiki so it shows up in radiant. Then put the static model in your original and compile it
