Weird Bug...

Mendasp

I had the "Too many direct light styles on a face(?,?,?)" error on my compile, I did a search on the forums but I still don't have pretty clear what it's causing it, I have some lights near each other, and when one goes off, the other one goes on, could that be causing it?

Also, when I try to load the map I get this error:

miptex >= loadmodel->numtextures

This happens if you have more than three dynamic lights placed in some location (more than three cast a light on one face).

Daedalus

Light styles are set in the properties of a light entity. A face can only have a few lights with dynamic properties set, such as Pulse, Fast Strobe, Flicker, then that's where your error is coming from. To fix it, use dynamic lights sparingly. They have the tendency to lag up slower computers and also increase the BSP file size significantly.

Also, light does bounce off surfaces so having your light entities a long way apart might not help. Just be aware of that.
