Okay, this is unusual. I've fixed every error I've run into. "Couldn't update edge", "open edge", "z buffered triangles", "coplanar edges", "degenerate triangles"... And yet, every time I try to compile, it gets through every part of building/reducing collision geometry/bsp, building portals, building render geometry, building subclusters... And then it says this:

couldn't allocate final cluster mirror

What in the hell does this mean? And how do I compile my map? D:

I am guessing that you have dynamic mirrors in the shaders.
Remove them.

... Then how do I put the glass in my map? Every tutorial I read says that the glass needs to be a dynamic mirror.

You can have glass, just not dynamic glass.

Yeah. I had just figured that out not more than 5 minutes ago really... I don't know what the difference is exactly, but the tutorials for glass on here say to use Dynamic Mirror... I changed it back to bump cubemap or wtfever, and it worked just fine, and it looks good enough for what I wanted; I only need to fix the scaling on them though. I need to get the edges of the window opening as close to the edges of the glass as possible, without overlapping.

I do wonder though why it worked for the people in the tutorials, but not for me. Oh well.

The difference between dynamic glass and normal glass is that dynamic glass reflects what's actually in front of it.

Well then, I may need that for a mirror, but not for glass. Eventually I do plan on making a mirror. :3

you can have dynamic mirrors, just not too many, and not facing each other and they must be on a flat surface too i think.

That error is when a dynamic reflection (not mirror, there's a difference) reflects another dynamic reflection.

So, if I have an XY-Symmetrical map (meaning, a map perfect for Multi-Team; think "Wizard", or Derelict, etc.), and the bases have a glass window in the front of the building facing towards the middle of the level... That's what's causing the problem?

Whereas, I can put a mirror inside each base, facing towards the inside, just to have a mirror, and it won't cause any problems?

That actually makes sense then. Thanks for the tip~

If I can remember correctly, portaling will also stop it from reflecting.

Yes i believe thats correct Boom. I asked this question before but never got an answer but i think its the infinite loop created by facing reflections.

yeah if you have an infinite loop of reflections, tool hates you.
