It specifies vrad, but i guess it's possible vvis could choke too; that's a pretty high triangle count you have

Error trying to allocate # bytes

Description:
Vrad.exe did not have enough memory to finish it's task. There are two causes: 1) You are running low on memory (ram + pagefile). 2) Vrad.exe is chocking on some very complicated bit of your map, causing it to ask a lot of memory which doesn't exist (like infinite sizes).

Solution:
If you are running low on free memory (ctr+alt+del to see that) try increasing the pagefile if you aren't letting Windows take care of it. If not, use cordon tools to isolate the problemarea in your map (might be a broken brush, or simply too complex geometry) and see what you can do to fix it. Rados&#322;aw Rak suggests using the custom compile tools (see below), as they dont seem to be troubled by this error. Dan Prati informed me that is mostly a problem with very large, open maps, or particularly detailed ones (or as part of an engine limitation to the total amount of lightmaps). Reducing the lightmap resolution on larger surfaces, or particularly complex objects, can fix this problem. If this is not acceptable, or does not fix the error, reducing lightmap resolution across the entire map may be necessary. This provides a solution when there is no single map element that is causing the error, and simply deleting map objects won't fix the problem.

Yeah, windows warned me few times about my low memory, it might be the problem.
Im soon gonna increase my ram.

Try to incease your swap file.

To do this, open the Properties for 'My Computer', go to the advanced tab, in the performance section click 'settings', go to the advanced tab, in the virtual memory section click change, select a desired drive, make sure the "custom size" radio box is enabled and select your initial and maximum page size (in mb).

Set as high as you can, my initial size is 4000mb and maximum size is 5000mb. Remember that the swap file will consume your hard drive space, if you do not have much free space left you can not increase your swap file.

Once you have finished, click 'set' than click 'ok'. You will need to restart.

Aaron's Stuff

Ok, ive puted it to 3500 mb, but now, the compilling process freezes when i get to theportal-flow thing. My map is detailed but not as much as some i saw in the pit, i dont understand why i cant make huge maps. (and detailed)

Hmm, if you want, you can send me the vmf and I can compile it on my machine to see if this happens with me.

Aaron's Stuff

Ok, i've solved a part of the problem by transforming almost all my solids in func_wall(s) and by removing the shadows of my map. >I dont care about shadows cause its a TF2 map...

But the triangle count is still too high and the compile program can't write the bsp file.

Help!
Is (map as no textures) telling you something? Because after running my map, (trying to), windows reported this error. Maybee its relied to the func_walls?
