well i went to compile my map and it says teh map cache could not be compiled why is this idk. I added ai to map and hte map was coldsnap and this is what i got.--------------->

culling uncompressed model animation data...done
building predicted resources for structures...done
structure bsp 'levels\coldsnap\coldsnap' is 12.59M
structure bsp 'levels\coldsnap\coldsnap1' is 12.59M
tag headers and names are 0.35M
streaming model vertex and index buffers...done
streaming tags............................................done
writing vertex and index buffers...done 23.41M
writing tags...done (4449 tags for 17.18M)

(below is the one thing that is strange i did not know what it meant)

---------------------------------------------------------------
tags are 6.77M too large for structure bsps (17.18M+12.59M>23.00M).
### FAILED TO BUILD CACHE FILE.
----------------------------------------------------

Cache pack file bitmaps hits: 878 for 51.35M
Cache pack file bitmaps adds/misses: 440 for 30.17M
Cache pack file sounds hits: 678 for 16.36M

i think that means your map is too big (filesize).

Anyone know how to make map smaller or do i have to get rid of some ai?

Cause I wonder if coldsnap was border line???

The BSP is too large. (map model)

The map model? So the ai have nothin to do with it? Then how did the original creator of coldsnap turn it to .map?

Tiamat, used a modified tool version from Korn which allowed the mapsize to be a bit bigger...also...if you have 2bsps in one map you are allowed to have a bigger mapsize in total.
