im going to try to take some textures off and try that

and about the lights... yes i know... its like that for a reason ATM... (faster compile)

yeah waaay to many wads there, other than that couldnt be bothered reading the whole thing caz i just woke up :D

ok, so i made all the wad files into one big file... however i still get the error... i deleted the entire building that is around that point and it worked... so it must be a structural thing.

EDIT:

ok, i fixed it.. it was a problem with a texture. it was stretched at like, 0.0001...

hahahaha, why would u stretch something that much! :D gw on solving your prob :P

That can happen sometimes if you clip a brush and move it oddly, or vertex manipulate something and move it back. It'll sometimes stretch it, and while you technically returned the brush back to a plain state, the texture alignment went haywire.

itc cause i got lazy and clicked a whole wall that was 1 unit thick and stretched the textuer "to fit"...

why would you make a wall 1 unit tho!

a few reasons actually...

- to show my l33t nubn3ss
- im lazy
- im lazy
- the wall didnt need to be very big
- im lazy
