map not updating
I know most reasons for a non-updating map. For some reason when i delete up to a certain amount of brushes, i can compile it again. Once i make more it gets all fucky again. Is it possible that i have too many reflection probes?
Re: map not updating
This is normally a problem with to many curve patches in the map, try turning any you have into detail or non colliding. Never heard of reflection probes causing this, how many do you have?
Re: map not updating
The curves is not the problem because i delete regular brushes and it allows me to compile. The thing is, these brushes have reflection probes with them.. like above them. i just tried deleting and adding 2 reflection probes and when i delete, i can update o.o
when i add, i cant.
i have a lot of reflection probes... id say about over 200

Re: map not updating
You can't have more than 255 reflection probes in your map.

Re: map not updating
You do not need over 200 reflection probes for any map.

Re: map not updating
Reflective materials will reflect whether you have 1 or 255 probes.
The amount of probes is just the level of detail within the reflection.
The reflection probes create an inverted skybox type effect that is applied to reflective surfaces. The compiler will do some calculation in what probe is used for which surface, if you only have 1 probe, all reflective surfaces (no matter where on the map) will use the 'skybox' from that probe.
The best practice is to place 1 in each room. When dealing with exteriors, evenly space them around.
If you have surfaces where a reflection detail is desired, place a couple of probes in the area.
