This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

MAX_SUPERFACEEDGES sounds like an obscure error to me, seriously your using 13 wads and .3mb of texdata, get wally and put them into 1 wad then try re-compile and see what happens, you yourself should read your lg file yourself when you have a problem :P

did that... well.. not exactly that... i took off all the wad files im not using, then recompiles it, said i was only using 3 WADs, then same thing... i did a good search and came up with nothing

P.S. the email adresse that was givin dont work...

what compile tools are you using?

You tried cageys custom build?

http://xp-cagey.com/downloads/zhlt_1.7p15.zip

Add -chart option to compiling tools command line, recompile and post log again.

Don't use p15 version of Cagey's tools, it has a bug in RAD, which can heavily increase compiling time. Use p13 instead.

craftos, link?

still no go

Sorry, was away for one day.

Add -chart to every compiler's exe file, not only the first one.

Don't know where p13 is available now (besides my HDD, of course :)).

ok, well, i got 13, i just copied the 15 one and changed the 5 to a 3 and it worked :-P

i am using batch compiler cause i have no idea how to use the other ones, and there was a option in it for "shared" (BSP, RAD, VIS etc...)

just looked at the log again.. -chart is in front of all of em

Well, it should add more detailed info and I don't see it. MAX_SUPERFACEEDGES is some internal limit reached. Enable 'verbose' option, maybe it will tell some more.

Anyway, here is that p13 version.
