.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I recently added a very tall ladder to my map and when I compiled the map i got this error >MAX_POINTS_ON_WINDING< i have to have the ladder so how can i fix this problem?

hsve you tried cutting it in two pieces?

Max points on winding means you have more than 64 vertices on exactly the same plane. If you have a ladder that long, you are wasting a lot of face count. Each rung has at least 8 visible faces. You may want to reduce the number of rungs, or use a transparent ladder texture for the rungs. There are a number of them in the common folder.

Split the long sidebars of the ladders into two or more pieces depending on when the error msg is going away. Also make sure that the ladder brushes are made "detail" or else you will add some useless VISdata to your map.
