Map2dif_plus_tgea keeps crashing when I try to export my map.
I get this error in the console:

Map2dif_plus_tgea gives great frames per second.
Also I found out the hardway that it's best to make your portals thin, and not the same thickness as the wall/doorway.

I get a crash when it exports --- -but it does export my dif. Though Null face removal doesn't work. I should probably just reinstall constructor.Map2dif_plus_tgea gives great frames per second.

I have a few detail brushes too. Could that be the problem as well? Because when I delete them, the interior exports properly.

Thanks for the help but it seems to be more than just portals.I have a few detail brushes too. Could that be the problem as well? Because when I delete them, the interior exports properly.

Are you using the new-and-improved map2Dif_plus_tgea from the latest TGEA 1.7.1 update?

Try exporting with fewer detail brushes, kinda like a trial-by-error process of elimination - keep deleting them until it does export okay, and then check the last brush for problems.

If it exports fine without your detail brushes then I'd suggest the problem is somewhere amongst them. Make sure that they are all detail and you didn't accidentally make some structural/collision etc. And that they are not going into a structural brush or through a portal.Try exporting with fewer detail brushes, kinda like a trial-by-error process of elimination - keep deleting them until it does export okay, and then check the last brush for problems.
