I need a little help. My map isn't compiling, and when I go to the brush 788, It says that brush ID doesn't exist

One of your displacements doesn't have 4 corners. Hide everything but displacements and go for a hunt. Or try the Hammer error checker (alt+p) and see if it points you to the culprit.

I found a displacement face without a top, which I don't remember placing, so I deleted it, recompiled and got this error instead:

qhull precision error: Only 4 facets remain. Can not merge another
pair. The convexity constraints may be too strong. Reduce the
magnitude of 'Cn' or increase the magnitude of 'An'. For example,
try 'C-0.001' instead of 'C-0.1' or 'A-0.999' instead of 'A-0.9'.

This is what Freya did in another thread:

"This issue for me was caused by two things so far: A displacement that was too big, cutting it into multiple helped,

And also, displacements in the skybox (that had been scaled down from full size displacements) being off grid. Snapping their verticies to the grid fixed it the second time it appeared."

Try either of those on displacements that are pretty big or skybox displacments if you have any (or just regular displacements).

Snapped every single one of my displacements to the grid already, and my biggest(in fact all of them) are around 650 X 220 HU

Would lots of displacements cause the issue? out of all the ones, I can only see maybe 4 or so that might cause an issue (even then they are all correctly done, and the corners are grid snapped)
