I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not I can explain more detail if you want, or give some code, but I was just trying to be brief

how many brushes do you have?! my map had something like 150k brushes and I didn't need to set mine above 128! how big is the .bsp ?

I only have my bounding boxes structural. It always saved space for me. Everything else is detail. Your BSP size seems huge considering you only have 16k brushes. Do you have lots of large open volumes or something?

That's really small... I don't understand how your bsp is so big... what's your map look like? Something must be wrong =/

That is a lot of terrain type stuff in one room, maybe that's why, I dunno. I remember "outdoor" style maps always worked really poorly in the q3 engine. But I thought that was mainly a vis issue not a meta issue.. don't know what to tell you. Have you tried compiling it in a more modern q...

What's the dimensions on your terrain grid? Like how many brushes across each direction? That could add up fast if you did it really high quality.

Well that accounts for about 4k brushes. Do you have any curved surfaces? If you use too many subdivisions on those, they can easily cost you a lot of brushes. If I had to guess though, I'd just say it's because of your one large open area with lots of non-coplanar brushes. I'm not sure if there's a...
