I've been putting area portals in my map to improve performance, and i just fixed all the leaks with the one i put in. However, when i compiled this was in the log:

I was just wondering about the line that says
"Warning: area portal has 512 verts. Could be a vbsp bug."

what's that all about? thanks!

Sounds like you have made an area portal that is extremely complex and is defined by 512 vertices. The best feedback they could think to give is to suggest it might be a bug. If you know you have a rather large or complex area portal and everything is working fine then you probably don't need to worry, but if all your area portals are simple then you might want to check nothing is going wierd. Sorry I can't give a better answer, but its all I can think of it to mean.

Oh and why do you have a displacement surfaces with nodraw on it? [addsig]
