    it happens when youre over the texture limit of 4mb and wadincluding, or nowadtexturing (same as wadinclude). So put -texdata 8196 on all tools. I cant believe i remember this from my hl1 mapping days

    I'm impressed too!

    You only need to put that command behind the CSGline, right?

    Succes anyway!
