Hi, I was just compiling a map and got this error from hlrad
Exceeded MAX_PATCHES
I know that the limit is 65536 patches, however people have said that using the -sparse command for hlrad allows you to go above this limit. I tried that but by only running hlrad by itself and got an error. My compile log looks like this:

There was a problem compiling the map.
Check the file C:\\Halflife stuff\\cs_nnhs_texceiling\\cs_nnhs_texceiling.log for the cause.

The second appearance of hlrad was because I tried to run it again by itself but it wouldn't work.
Is there any way I can run this without having to run csg, bsp and vis?...vis took me over a day to finish and I'd rather not go through that again.
One more thing, I didn't use a sky box to enclose my map.
EDIT
The problem i'm having here is that it won't let me run hlrad by itself, it just goes directly to a pop up message that says my map has an error despite the fact that it ran csg, bsp and vis successfully. Is this a case where I have to run all the compile tools again?? Because if it is...that would suck.
Thanks in advance.
