So I have this error:

Brush 3555658: nummapbrushes == MAX_MAP_BRUSHES
Side 5
Texture: CONCRETE/CONCRETEWALL065C```
but I don't know what brush it's complaniing about
midnight thorn

Brush 3555658

prime robin
#

which brush is that

#

how do I find it

#

in hammer++

topaz palm
#

ctrl shift g

#

alternatively
View menu > go to brush number
@prime robin

#

but the issue may not be that brush specifically

#

you may globally have too many brushes

#

it just gives the id of the first one it found after hitting the limit

prime robin
#

how to fix it

topaz palm
#

you may have to turn things into models (with propper for example)

#

before doing that

#

see if turning off that brush let you compile, or if it then give another id

#

you can select the brush and add it into a visgroup

#

or Hide it (H) and compile

prime robin
#

how do I unhide it

#

@topaz palm

topaz palm
#

U

prime robin
#

thx

#

I was having a panic attack

topaz palm
#

this let you add it to a visgroup

prime robin
#

it still gave me 3555658:

topaz palm
#

useful to sort things

#

hmm

#

if you go to brush number, does that lead to another one now?

#

uh also
you need to compile when the brush is hidden

prime robin
#

it leads to the same

topaz palm
#

obviously

prime robin
#

but it's invisible

topaz palm
#

ah
try to add it to a visgroup then

#

it will generate a visgroup at the bottom

#

letting you turn it off/on easily

prime robin
#

how to add it to a visgrtoup[

topaz palm
#

#1109475010952822814 message just above, there is this pic i posted

prime robin
#

done

#

now what

topaz palm
#

if the visgroup is turned off

#

now you compile again

#

logically, it shouldnt select that brush for the compilation error

prime robin
#

now it's 3184483

topaz palm
#

welp
then you hit a limit of the engine

prime robin
#

wdym'

topaz palm
#

you have too many brushes

#

so map cant be compiled

prime robin
#

I literally just added a few more brushes on rp_downtown_tits_v2

#

how is that on limits

topaz palm
#

😂

#

ok that's exactly the map i was expecting when i saw the error

prime robin
#

but I don't want to generate a whole model of the map

topaz palm
#

im out
that map is an uncompilable mess

#

every single question involving brush limit is about another rp dwntown recompile

prime robin
#

wdym

topaz palm
#

every gmod people who ask for help here, when they get the error on compilation, is doing another rp downtown edit

prime robin
#

rp downtown v2 or tits v2?

topaz palm
#

because that map is just recompild so much

#

i mean idk
downtown v2 mainly

prime robin
#

the ghost map?

topaz palm
prime robin
#

that map is a ghost map

#

the map I am trying to modify is tits

topaz palm
#

what even is that?

prime robin
#

basically that same map but higher quality

#

and more stuff

topaz palm
#

well, there are rules

prime robin
#

yes

topaz palm
#

saying you cant help on decompile

prime robin
#

this is how the main place looks like in tits

topaz palm
#

because of dumb issue like these

who know how the creator of that downtown map managed to compile it

#

but a decompilation is not 100% perfect

#

so as always, it cant be recompiled right away

#

you will have to turn part of it into models

#

for example, if there are fences made out of brushes, they can be turned to model
to save on brushes

prime robin
#

why does source have a brush limit

topaz palm
prime robin
#

ok

topaz palm
#

use propper and turn things to model

topaz palm
#

stfu ido

#

dont listen to it

prime robin
#

wtf
?

topaz palm
#

it react to 'use' and 'propper'

#

next to each other

prime robin
#

it says there's a better solution

topaz palm
#

yes but it's more effort and require 3dsmax
at which point, you aint doing a quick edit anymore

topaz palm
prime robin
#

we literally have gpus running machine learning AI

topaz palm
#

some games have likely raised limits (gmod probably), but that can make games unstable

prime robin
#

yet they think it's so important to preserve memory?

topaz palm
#

2004 engine

#

🤠

prime robin
#

and why is gmod still played if it has a piece of shit engine

#

I always dreamed of a huge gmod map of an SCP site

topaz palm
#

gmod itself was the game that raised limits to the maximum it could

prime robin
#

so I fixed the issue by deleting some stuff

#

but guess what

#

it gave another fucking issue

topaz palm
#

ofc

#

there are probably hundreds too many brushes

#

so until you replace brushwork with props, you wont be able to get the map to compile (or yes, delete a lot in the map)

prime robin
#

I'm out

#

I'm just gonna move the spawn and that's it
