You have a brush with too many faces. It cannot(or shouldn't) exceed 12 faces.

iirc there was a bug relating to q3map2 causing this. Try 2.5.17

So I have to go through my map searching for a brush with more than 12 faces?
And then reoplace it with 2 or more brushes with less faces I suppose?

Oh.....
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTT!!!!!!!!

Try 2.5.17

I have no problems compiling maps that have brushes with over twelve faces using 2.5.17.

Er, Ive a-searched all over this here silicon land.

But there are no download links of 2.5.17.

Do I nhave to download the new 1.5 for it?

Or does anyone here no of a secret link?

Actually it should be easy to find a more-than-12 faced brush, unless you used CSG-Subtract(don't).

SNDM: Q3map2 2.5.17 is in the GtkRadiant SVN:

https://zerowing.idsoftware.com/svn/radiant/GtkRadiant/

Normally, and recent GtkRadiant 1.5 package should include it.

yup, i know that i have 2.5.17, because back when i first started mapping, i used 32 sided cylinders for barrels, and thought they were leet.

n.o.s.brain: cylinders are not brushes. They have an infinite number of faces(depending on how far away you are).
