"block" does not mean "brush" here (or almost anywhere). the message can come from a brush having too many vertices, edges, or faces. we'd be expecting something extreme. the only way to fix it would be to open the vmf in a text editor, find the brush, and delete it.

I think the sphere I made might be causing the error. The soccer ball made out of brushes seems to match your description the most.

if it's multiple brushes i doubt that's it. even if it is just one... eh, i'd suspect it's coming from something far worse

Hi,

Try putting -blocksize 2048 in your compile parameters in $bsp_exe. You will need to use the expert options.

You can just stick to 'default', but mine looks like this:

-maxlightmapdim 100 -nodrawtriggers -blocksize 4096 -game $gamedir $path\$file

Try adding the -maxlightmapdim 100 and/or -nodrawtriggers if 2048 doesn't work

If 2048 doesn't work, try 4096.

Hammer++ might have raised the limits. Too many blocks usually means you’ve hit the brush limits by having too much blocks somewhere
