Map won't compile - "Vismap expansion overflow"

[Arnold]

Map won't compile and I get the error "Vismap expansion overflow", the map is pretty big but not very complex.

Here's the compile log.

Are you running it in fast or full VVIS?

[SnakeFace]

That's a new error for me, does it crash instantly or after moving to a place or places.

I ran it on normal.

[QUOTE=SnakeFace;16943266]That's a new error for me, does it crash instantly or after moving to a place or places.[/QUOTE]
It just stops, nothing crashes.

[Yobdren]

I've only seen this error in GoldSrc.

[editline]11:56AM[/editline]

Post the entire compile log.

[Arnold]

That is the entire compile log. After "Vismap expansion overflow" it says "There was a problem compiling your map, check your gm_stargrass_v0202.log file for errors".

[Yobdren]

It isn't executing VBSP or VVIS but can still run them. This is not a full compile log.

[Arnold]

I'm using the Nem's tools Batch Compiler:

[Yobdren]

Use the regular compiler.

[Arnold]

Ok, will report back as soon as it finishes.

[editline]05:46PM[/editline]

Ok I first ran a fast compile first in Hammer so that you can take a look at this log since a full compile takes a whole day, I will post the log for the normal compile tomorrow.

Somehow the .bsp ended up at 100mb

Problem solved.

[QUOTE=farmatyr;16956091]Problem solved.[/QUOTE]

you know you can get rid of about 71,000 of your visleafs by optimizing them map, right? In large areas where all the leaves can see each other, fill it with a func_viscluster, and turn unnecessary details into func_details. To view how many visleafs you have, click Map-> View Portal File. Your issue is that you have too many.

Here's a good guide for optimization:
