This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] VERTEX_BUFFER_SIZE is a limit on the number of vertices in a single batch. You can have many more vertices in a map than that, but they'll get batched up so you don't hit this limit. If you're seeing this error, it's likely you're doing something a little silly. Have you ran VVIS on your map? Have you turned an entire map into func_detail?
Many engine "limits" are actually there to spot incorrect usage patterns. As a result, be careful not to interpret every limit you hit as something which must be raised. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Spektre Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 12:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] increasing the vertex buffer size Realistically, you should never need more than that many verts in a map. If you have that many vertices in a map, it's time to consider changing some of your brush geometry into model geometry. That's a good place to start optimizing.
