Trying to port Gmod maps to SFM but it has "to many surfaces"

[high gulch]

I imported the map as usual but when I tryed opening it to sfm a pop us showed up saying that has "to many surfaces"
What I've heard is that Gmod has more surfaces capability than SFM
I dont know what counts at surfaces (also that I've noticed is that there are some ERROR models in this map)

I also tryed removing props and these ERROR models but when I tryed testing the map on SFM it just crashed

PD: I dont know NOTHING about Hammer

that's a decompile
you're missing the packed assets

[high gulch]

so I've to decompile the file of the map twice?

bc when I decompiled it it just gave the the .vmf and .log files

[hollow scaffold]

you're not supposed to ask about decompiled maps
or any map you didn't make yourself

it would be better to either make your own map or find a smaller map that works in SFM

[high gulch]

there's nothing in sfm 💔

[high gulch]

so I could ask the creator instead if I can try porting the map into sfm? or should I wait until he does the port?

[hollow scaffold]

it seems like it's too big for SFM

[high gulch]

I know, I just wanted to try if I could try running the map in sfm if I delated some surfaces (I still dont know what counts as surfaces)

[hollow scaffold]

brush faces probably

[high gulch]

besides, I cant animate the props that are already on the map so the best option is delating most of them (furniture and doors)

[high gulch]

and how can I do that? (I dont know how to use hammer 😅 )

[hollow scaffold]

don't try to edit decompiled maps if you're new at Hammer

learn the basics first

[high gulch]

Ig so I learned a bit the basics

how to move and some shortcuts

shit this map has a ton of error models

question

the brushes are the orange transparent boxes or that's other stuff?

oh nvm

wait

if I delate all this orange transparent box, it will break the whole map?

[hollow scaffold]

those are triggers
so they're not necessary for SFM but I doubt deleting them will help either

[high gulch]

hm

so can you tell me again what counts as a surface?

like

props also counts as surfaces?

Im watching tutorials while messing around with hammer but I dont want to touch something that can mess all up the map

[hollow scaffold]

it probably means brushes

but you should really stop asking about this because it's a decompiled map

[high gulch]

Im not sure, since I opened another gm map and poped up that it had to many brushes

[hollow scaffold]

surfaces probably means brush faces

[high gulch]

aight

[high gulch]

but at least can I ask the creator if he can give me permision to edit a decompiled map?

or at least try

?

[hollow scaffold]

I don't think it matters in this case

the rules don't specify that as an exception

if you didn't make it, don't ask about it

[high gulch]

aight ):

[hollow scaffold]

you should really try making a complete map first
