HL1: Exceeded MAX_MAP_LIGHTING

    Howto Fix: Use the -lightdata <#> command line option to increase your maximum light memory. The default is 6144 (KB).

    Whats an appropiate number to put here?

    I guess keep it as low as possible. Besides that, exceeding this number is 99/100 cases unnecessary. You sure you did everything you could by using null texture and all the other tricks?

    well if the default is 6144 then you should increase it incrementally until it works, huh?

    I've made some big fkn maps but I never ran into this one. perhaps increase your -chop value?

    doesn't that error occur when you have too many lights shining on one particular surface? or was that some other?

    Well, if so, just delete some lights and play around with the few that the hl1 engine allows

    The size of lighting data has nothing to do with the amount of light entities in the map. I think those even get stripped during the compile because they do nothing ingame and are just sitting there anyway.
