I have gotten this error before. I thought it meant to many npcs were on the field at once, but in my new map, I want it like it is. It's a fairly small map, with no rugged terrain, just flat grasslands. Any ideas on what to do?

what are you using for detail props? Do you have over 10,000 detail props?

prop_detail is meant for grass sprites only, you use prop_statics for models, and prop_dynamics for other things, and the npc ents for citizens and combine, BTW 50 combine is really pushing the engine's limits, along with all those other npcs

The npc's in the map are actually their own point entities (eg npc_strider, etc) rather than using prop_details and choosing a model for them aren't they?

Probs not but just a thought.

well, the whole bottom of my map is grass textured. It is just a giant rectangle and i set the texture to the bottom part of the rectangle to grass texture. Do I need to change this?

no you need to change all your combine enimies into the npc class of entitires, not prop_detail......and your map is going to run like crap with all those NPC in there.

grass textures spawn prop_details from them, so if you have a HUGE grass brush you will get that error. Change the textuer and that should fix it.

where are you getting this error, in hammer, compile log, or in game?

Note that he says it is saying "too many detailed props", not "too many prop_details". To me it sounds like he just has vastly too many high polycount models in there - that many enemies in a level is just total insane and you cannot expect it to run like that.
