Heya folks, I doubt that anyone here remembers me, I made some map contributions way back...when I don't remember...but I have one big question...and I'm betting it's a resounding "no" considering that it's still a sticky...is there anyway to overcome the max limits in RED...please tell me that someone has found a way to do it

The way I tend to go over the limits is just ignore them. The output box will turn red, but chances are the map will run just fine so long as you didn't go too over-the-top.

Specifically...brush limits, I will begin it again, but a major project that I was working on was porting in a map from quake 3 arena, the dead end I kept on running into was brush limit....I'm just afraid to start it again and have the same dang thing occur....any suggestions?

Try to create as much geometry from single brushes as possible. Obviously, you can't make the entire map out of just a handful of brushes, but you'd be surprised at how many faces and brushes you can shave off just by creating more complex geometry.

Fusing would indeed lower brush count, but it has a nasty habit of rapidly raising face count and randomly crashing RED.

I remember you DarkHorse!
We started making a map together... deathdome 2 i think it was called.

My map in RFU2, Duloc had over 1000 brushes, so thats more than enough to play with surely?
Trying to find old players. Anyone about? Drop me a PM or reply to this thread:

Isn't putting brushes into a group a way to be able to go far over the brush count in RF.

You should talk to I believe DVL_IAC he build levels far over RF's limits.

They have to be in keyframed (moving) groups
