max patch planes error?

[arc-angel (}}}]

TOD and i were playing on the RAD server tonight, and this one map came along called mp_panzermine_ns or something like that.. the map downloaded for both of us just fine, but then when it began to load, we both got an error message:

max_patch_planes

and we couldn't join. but i could see the server info, and everyone else who had been playing still was, including some JHFs.

has anyone encountered this error before? what might it be?

jimmy, is this maybe a macOS glitch, since it happened only to me and TOD and not bigdawg, lab and bin?

thanks, all!

It is quite often a mac os error, but evidently indicates its often a buggy map on the PC too - something the map maker did not do correctly. Popular well done maps that have this error are often quickly fixed as it causes them to interact with other maps adversely (so I've read). The thing to do is to try to load it yourself... barring that take all other maps out of your UO folder and run it (to test an interaction). If you still get the error - yup its not a mac friendly map. Thats pretty rare though as most map makers aren't quite that.... lame.
