Placing detail props : 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9.Error! Too many detail props emitted on this map! (64K max!)n
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
i did search around and ask and i found what is the problem "Placing detail props : 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9.Error! Too many detail props emitted on this map! (64K max!)n" and that is from texture that spawn detail props but the problem i don't know how to find the texture that spawn a loot of detail props and i don't know how to fix it ( the main is how to find it because the map is big and have other texture that spawn detail props)
pleas help me i search and ask on steam one person told me to come here and ask here and i should find the solution's
So this is a full wiki page on detail props
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Detail_props
In a material's vmt is used to determine which detail props is placed on the material during compile.
Using your \GarrysMod\garrysmod\ root directory there is a file called detail.vbsp
This contains the information needed to manipulate the density of detail props.
Lets look at an example:
This is the .vmt for blendgrassgravel001b
"WorldVertexTransition"
{
"$basetexture" "nature/dirtfloor006a"
"$basetexture2" "nature/gravelfloor004a"
"$detail" "overlays/macro01a"
"$detailscale" .1
"%detailtype" "coastline_redgrass03"
"%tooltexture" "nature/blendgrassgravel001a_tooltexture"
"%keywords" "wasteland"
"$surfaceprop" "dirt"
"$surfaceprop2" "dirt"
}
You can notice that the %detailtype is set to "coastline_redgrass03"
Looking into the detail.vbsp we see that "coastline_redgrass03"
coastline_redgrass03
//reduced size by 0.75
{
"density" "300.0"
Group1
{
"alpha" "0"
Model1
{
"sprite" "288 0 128 128 512"
"spritesize" "0.5 0.0 19 25"
"spriterandomscale" "0.2"
"amount" "0.2"
"detailOrientation" "2"
}
Model2
{
"sprite" "0 0 128 128 512"
"spritesize" "0.5 0.0 23 30"
"spriterandomscale" "0.2"
"amount" "0.1"
"detailOrientation" "2"
}
Model3
{
"sprite" "144 0 128 128 512"
"spritesize" "0.5 0.0 15 15"
"spriterandomscale" "0.2"
"amount" "0.15"
"detailOrientation" "2"
}
Model4
{
"sprite" "144 144 128 128 512"
"spritesize" "0.5 0.0 18 21"
"spriterandomscale" "0.2"
"amount" "0.2"
"detailOrientation" "2"
}
//shrub
Model5
{
"sprite" "144 288 128 128 512"
"spritesize" "0.5 0.0 38 38"
"spriterandomscale" "0.2"
"amount" "0.2"
"detailOrientation" "2"
}
Model6
{
"sprite" "0 288 128 128 512"
"spritesize" "0.5 0.0 23 23"
"spriterandomscale" "0.2"
"amount" "0.1"
"detailOrientation" "2"
}
Model7
{
"sprite" "288 288 128 128 512"
"spritesize" "0.5 0.0 42 42"
"spriterandomscale" "0.2"
"amount" "0.1"
"detailOrientation" "2"
}
}
Group2
{
"alpha" "1"
}
}
So we see the density value. That controls the density of detail sprites.
If we were to look at that in game/hammer we would see
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/5/55/Coastline_redgrass03.jpg
Lets say we upped the density from 300 to 600.
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/c/c5/Coastline_redgrass02.jpg
As you can see we've doubled the amount of sprites.
So in closing, if you want to fix your detail issue, find out which materials is using what detail sprite. Probably a texture you have over the whole map like a grass texture. Decrease the density of the detail type by modifying your detail.vbsp using notepad or a text editor of your choice.
Then recompile the map. You will not need to redistribute the detail.vbsp in this instance because you are only reducing the amount that vbsp.exe places in your map during compile.
1_so you mean i will need to edit the detail.vsp and edit it (decrease the density) and then recompile and the problem solve
2_ i can't find the texture causing the problem ( the map doesn't just use 1 ground (grass) texture on each area (mount ,flat...) use different textures) . So how i know which one is the one causing the problem
So as I stated earlier the %detailtexture parameter inside of the material file will show you what material is using what detail type.
If you'd like to outright disable this effect, in hammer you can select map>map properties...
detail.vbsp file Just point it to a file that doens't exist.

1_ i did edit the detail.vsp in (Garry's mod>garry's mod) but i don't compile whit hammer i compile whit another compiler and even i edit the (decrease the density) nothing change on the compiler.
2_ i didn't understand fully what you mean i did go to the panel on your photo but what should after that
3_Yesterday i stay all night and change all the texture of the map to one that it use so i found the texture causing the problem but how i fix (going to the texture vmt and open it whit notepad++) this what it show me :
and thx for helping me
