It does not work with default linux client (despite possiblity of using custom clients as noted).

Only bad thing bout this map is the alien camp base. If you are too lazy/too stupid to compile a game, then go kill yourself/get windows.

Trem with handful of players (GPP) and whooping 3 (popular) servers is not in position to provide broken maps for default client.

Your game is broken. You dont get it? Majority of players can load this map.
Btw: default Windows client & OSX client run it also.

Yeap but rest of the players can not use RCZ server why your broken map is loaded.

Merry Christmas also can not load it, and few ther players. Why do you not just fix your map?

What are you, microsoft "but most people use IE6 so no problem to write broken pages that load only in IE6 durrrrrr"?

I will not reduce the amount of planes in this map. It would reduce gfx and atmosphere also and i refuse to see why the majority of players should renounce this features just because "epical dude" cant play it. I did this before (hunkmegs issue). Use the other (better) gpp client on linux and all is fine.

Mac OSX build doesn't run it. Returns with "MAX_PATCH_PLANES" error. (I would know, I use it)

BTW, if you add tunnel and not use lightmap for middle area, it will still cause some error?

Are you Challenged?
I thought I wrote in plain english above but let my try again.
Epial dude - can not play.
Merry Christmas - can not play
Other players told they play can not. On EU1 server they where.
Linux players - play not.
Macintosh users - play not.
Many players - play not.

Epica + Merry + default Linux users + default Mac users is more then 1.
More then "just Epical".
1+1+N+N > 1. (n>0)
You understand? Yes?

For more intelligent beings: please also not how Linux users are substantial user-base in our case (I guess 20 - 60%). One small random poll I called returned afair 6-1 for "are you using linux often" (this does not mean they actually play from linux but really Trem is one of best, and of FEW, open source linux FPS games so lots of gamers on linux will use this niche .

Also:

MAX_PATCH_PLANES
The visible brush face is being split too many times. Extra vertex points are created by q3map on visible face edges, where they are split by other visible face points (corners, or vertices). So if you have too many visible face points touching the edges of another face, that particular face will be split many times and have many vertex points. (QER)

You have some complex model there? What i you just cut it to few separate brushes/objects, will this not solve it?

Rota: I never tried it. But the Terrain has truly the biggest lightmap. Right now im working on a new version so i dont try your idea with the old version.

(By the way, ^that^ looks awesome)

Try using models instead of patches so that q3map2 will create a brushwork (which is unlikely to crash anyone).
