thanks, i have read that maps complied with tool pro will crash if any tags over the orig limit are used, is this true?

some times they do but no very often ive never had a map exeption on me

well i deleted some old tags from the map to make it small enough to compile normelly but if it goes over again ill give tool pro a shot :-)

Dude, it's only a tiny bit over.
Reduce your size by taking an unneeded tag or two out, or finding whatever hi-res bitmaps you're using (especially if you are using cmt or halo 3 tags), and reduce their image size.

yeah thats what i did in the end :-)

Cool.
One thing you have to know about using tool pro, is that maps built using it are prone to exceptions.

yeah i heard that, hopefully i wont have to use tool pro..... now back to making my paintball minigun:)

paint ball minigun sounds cool

yeah it is :)
i can upload the tag here if anyone is intrested
