12.20.08 17:57:06 EXCEPTION halt in .\import_collision_bsp\build_collision_bsp.c,#387: global_plane_count<MAXIMUM_BSP3D_DEPTH

im just trying to compile a VERY simple geosphere map. (not perfect sphere). i run though bluestreak exeptioning becuse of a box i made in the middle of the bsp which i wanted to attach lens_flare to it. then, it exeptioned becuse i placed it in the wrong folder, then becuse of a wrong named matrial, and finally, the exeption adove. help me?

first of all, amen to that lol

second of all i just had this problem, i abandoned the project. anyways you need to make the sphere VERY simple, mine was like 32 polys and it kept dieing on me :\ try using a box and try to line it up as closely as you can (ps i havent tried this, in theory it should work but idk)
good luck

EDIT: or a cylinder and scale the vertices on the height sections down so its roughly spherial

A sphere can use up to 17 segments without dying. Not sure about geospheres.

il try using a sphere. my geosphere died on 7= 980 faces. thats even less polys then a normal rock for scenery.

use a geosphere with three segments that worked for me
