Here's an older thread about the problem, see my response about 2/3 down the first page: <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=30169' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...=ST&f=4&t=30169</a>
1.7p10 no longer requires the "-oldmath" switch, so you can safely ignore that part.
The error message should actually read "Warning: Too many light styles on a face (#,#,#)" because the form without coordinates is occuring in most cases while light bounces are being calculated (so the light styles are no longer "direct"). I'll fix the message to read that way (including putting coordinates in if that information is available to the function tossing the Warning) for the next release which should be out very soon (see thread here <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=38884' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...=ST&f=4&t=38884</a>).
EDIT: I've changed the error messages so that they give coordinate information for the location that has too many lightstyles and no longer say "direct" when the light may have already bounced. I've also changed the error reporting so that only the first warning of this type is given by default -- if you use the -verbose switch on HLRAD it will report every time this problem occurs. I had already partially limited the number of reports because in many cases this error will be thrown thousands of times if it is thrown once. Now that actual coordinate information is specified it makes sense to give the mapper the option of seeing all of those messages. 1.7p11 will contain the changes.
Nope, there isn't a limit to the number of light sources in an area. There is a limit to the number of light <i>styles</i> in an area, where each style is defined by the "style" and "targetname" properties of light entities or brush entities that define the "style" attribute.
