map limits

[grieve[Q2C]]

knightmare,

kmqbsp3 gave me the warning *WARNING: texinfo count exceeds original Q2 limit (8192)*
how far can I extend the count in kmquake2 ?

Q2pro and Q2e do not run the map anymore, kmquake2 is the last one to work.

[knightmare]

The limit in KMQ2 is double, so 16384.

[grieve[Q2C]]

well, that should do.
these are the current map - stats:


24 models 1152
3234 brushes 38808
22463 brushsides 89852
6986 planes 139720
7958 texinfo 604808
228 entdata 18945

12552 vertexes 150624
6084 nodes 170352
10019 faces 200380
6109 leafs 171052
11449 leaffaces 22898
8599 leafbrushes 17198
46852 surfedges 187408
23727 edges 94908
lightdata 2441700

visdata 516603

are there other values near the limit ?

[knightmare]

Looks like lightdata is over the limit of 2097152 (0x200000). Everything else looks fine.

oho .... this might be bad news. how far can I stretch this limit, before ahrgrad quits with *too many patches* ?

[mikem]

Is there any limits to entities?

as entity (this effects other entities as well):



as normal brush:



If I reduce entity count or komplexity the error will not happen.
What could cause such errors?

[knightmare]

KMQ2's entity limit is 8192, the same as that of recent KMQBSP3 test builds.

Regular Qbsp3 will throw an error at the old BSP limit of 2048, while the stock Q2 engine limit is 1024.

Disappearing bmodel faces are not caused by hitting an entity limit, but some kind of degenerate face issue.

I'm pretty sure MAX_PATCHES has to do with how many faces are visible to each other for light bouncing.

I just might have a fix for that error in progress...

[mikem]

But then wouldn't the bmodel faces always have to disappear?

In my case, the bmodel faces disappear in a more complex map (other bmodels, which are otherwise displayed without errors, then also have disappearing bmodel faces)
and if I copy the faulty bmodel to another map, the faces are displayed correctly.
