 Re: Error trying to allocate 16632 bytes.

Clear and simple, when I get to the last 90 percent or so with the Build Vis Leafs, in a RAD compile, I get: Error trying to allocate 16632 bytes. There is no other description of the error, and it causes my map to be Full Bright.

I can't post the compile log because there is no "paste" function when typing into this box. The "Can't see the box below" button doesn't work either, since that redirects me to another page. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> I'd also like to say that the error appears in the compile log; HL2 plays and doesn't seem to display any error messages either :/

I'd appreciate any help. If you need any more info, ask an yee shall be answered.

Sounds like you ran out of systmm memory, if thats true then you need to get 16mb extra somewhere -- try running diskcleanup or delete some files you no longer use.

I uninstalled about 20 megs or so of programs that I don't need or use any more, still got the same error with allocating the same amount of bytes <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

Is it possible that I'm running out of memory in RAM? I have a little over 2 gigs, and I find it a little hard to believe that I could be using that much, but this is HL2 compiling so maybe I'm running out on the homestretch of my RAD compile... ?

Try restarting your computer so the pagefile gets wiped.

If you really want to make sure, you can set it to 0 restart, then reset it. (nothing over 2GB would be needed ... ever) (this would fix pagefile fragmentation too)

How many programs do you have running? Those occupy ram (physical and virtual).

Are you saying you can't "ctrl+v" the text into the text area?

Also, try running the compile again, and monitor the process in TaskManager (ctrl+alt+del) ... how much memory is it using?


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
