You're more than likely having issues with the fixed memory when it gets to the light mapping part of the compile. First of all, is your operating system either an XP x64 or Windows 7?

the 1.18 beta versions have a limited sizemap sys. you can just build levels with 1.8 gb, my maps crash with 1.6 gb, so if you wanna test your maps, you gonna have to wait until the final version.

or, you can get back to 1.17, but i severaly don't recomend it.

mods for creating a inteligent game,at least

It will always be 1.8GB. However, since you have W7 x64 you can download an exe patch file that will patch fpsc-game.exe so that you can get up to 4GB of memory. I use this and it works slick. When it patches the file it automatically makes a backup of the original. There are no viruses or Trojans embedded in this exe file and it doesn't place either within the fpsc-game.exe file. I have been using it for several weeks now. The patch is so small that you don't even see an increase in the size of the file.

It is called "4gb_patch and you can get it here.

Addendum:

Without the patch, another way to lower the size is to adjust the following two parameters within the setup.ini file:

lightmaptexsize=512
lightmapquality=5

The defaults are as shown. If you use something larger than the value 5 for lightmapquality then start lowering it until you get a good compile. Of course if you arleady have it set to five then there is nothing you can do with that. Also, instead of 512 for lightmaptextsize you could try 256 or 128, but you may not be satisfied with the quality of the light mapping.

The best bet is to get the patch. I was glad when I did and there are several others who are using it.

Actually it doesn't. That may be the last number you saw but somewhere during the process it must have exceeded 1.8, if even for a fraction of a second. The memory will go up and down during the process.

The reason I'm sure of this, the source code has these two statements:

vmsize=(system smem available(2)/1024)
if vmsize>1850

It first checks for the vmsize (it varies during the process) and then checks to see if it is larger than 1850 (1.8MB basically). As you can see it is hard-coded.

You need to be sure and set systemmemorycapoff=0 to zero as shown. It is probably set to 1.

You don't need to patch map editor but I don't think it hurts. I don't.

Edit

That parameter is in the setup.ini file in the root directory.

OMGosh, I just got back home and discovered that I told you to set it to 0 (zero). Arrrrgggghhhhh. My bad. It has to be set to 1. systemmemorycapoff=1

Make sure that FPSC is closed and set it to 1. The default is zero. If cap is "on" then it will still check to see if system memory is over 1850MB and cause an error. When it is off it won't check the limit and let it go over. As you can see setting it to one will make sure that the system memory cap is off and won't make the check.

It really should work after you do that.

If you want, look to see if there is a file that would probably be located right underneath fpsc-game.exe called FPSC-Game.exe.Backup? If not then it didn't take. If there is it patched it correctly. Again, this patch will only work if you are running W7 or XP with 64 bit.

I doubt you have 500GB of RAM

And I don't see where he said he has a 64bit system either.

Right click on your "My Computer" icon and select properties.
On the resulting dialog, look under "System" and find...

"Installed Memory(RAM):" and "System Tye:" and tell us what they are.
