What does the error "MAX_PATCH_PLANES" mean? And how do I fix it? I got this on a map I just made. Anyhelp will be greatly appreciated.

ERROR: MAX_PATCH_PLANES

The visible brush face is being split too many times. Extra vertex points are created by q3map on visible face edges, where they are split by other visible face points (corners, or vertices). So if you have too many visible face points touching the edges of another face, that particular face will be split many times and have many vertex points.
