too many indices for index buffer..tell a programmer (32790>32768)

I keep getting this error at the end of my Sp level, "too many indices for index buffer..tell a programmer (32790>32768)" it happens when the player is blown up into the air, can anyone help, this will have been a real waste of two months if i can't get this sorted :sad: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm probably not able to help you out here as I haven't encountered the
problem myself, but when exactly does it happen? Does it shut down HL2,
or just show up in the console?

It sounds like you've stuffed too much into this map, though. Maybe
splitting it up into two smaller levels would help (just to test that:
compile a part of the level only with cordon compiling (you may want to
backup the original map before doing so) and see if you still get this
problem with the then smaller map)...

Thanks mate, i will have to have a fiddle, essentially at the end of the level the player is blown up into the air, this crash only seems to happen when the playter can see a lot of the level (if you no clip round the level the same thing happens) The problem essentially shuts down half life 2 whilst you are playing the game, i've attached a screenshot to show you how big the level actually is. it's shouldn't really crash as i have skyboxed it etc. Plus the whole boat is func detail :sad: I could really do with some help.

As you can see it's not really that much for one area, the ingame image doesn't show it but there are some helicopters lurking away from the ship. Any help would be great.

Your func_precipitation is way too large. Either delete it, or make it much smaller.

I know this answer seems a bit far-fetched, but just try it. :biggrin:

Are all those yellow boxes those air nodes I see in the editor? If they
are thats a bit much, and it may be causing the problem. If thats the
case then try taking some out.

Posting And You

Thanks Alex, that's amazing it actually sorted it out, i can't believe it was all down to that single brush. It's working now and the level can end correctly wohoo. Thanks for the help guys, the HL2 world forum is terrible in comparison to here, perhaps people are a little more gorwn up :wink: As for the others guys post, i believe it is an issue with the func_percipitation try making that bursh smaller, as suggested by Alex.

I'm happy they've helped you. And btw. your map looks so cool, nice job. I can't wait to test it ^^

I agree, your map is amazing, nice atmosphere, keep it up mate :biggrin:

Thanks for the comments guys, i have made a few amendments, this is the opening sequence to a bigger SP level, i'm working on it with another guy, maybe you will have heard of him, Mint_Sauce. I wouldlike you guys to see the level in motion, i think perhaps a teaser will be put up once, i get the audio and faceposer stuff in. :wink: I'll post some more pics soon :wink:
