Hlrad Problems

<div class="IPBDescription">Max Patches</div> My map has gotten to large, and now it can not make enough patches for the light. I tried to add the -chop command set to 96 in Hammers build program settings, but then it will not run HLRAD at all. What am I doing wrong?

    Isn't -chop the one that makes your shadows look like ****?

    I'm possitive there's a command that lets you have as many patches as you want, but I only used it once and don't remember what it is. I'll see if I can find the topic I posted on teh DoD boards where someone posted it.

    Alright, found it. Put -sparse in there and you'll get unlimited patches and your shadows won't look like ****! It just takes a while longer to compile.

    Edit: By the way, DO NOT compile in hammer! use Nem's batch compiler! It doesn't make much sense to have system hogging program running in the background while you try to compile, does it?

    Scaling textures more than 1x helps.

    hmmm.. Close, but not unlimited.
    I have been compiling my map with -sparse for a long time howerver, when I dropped the -chop to 32 I hit the max_patches limit.

    Find it yourself on google. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You can find it just as quickly as I would.

    Now I know why google is still so fast... half of the internet users don't know about it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Use the -sparse parameter, this will give you double the number of patches to play with/

    Is Nem's batch complier hosted anywhere on the net besides Fileplanet? I get errors when I try to download the compiler from the public servers.
