Can I do whatever I want?

From the first post

Sohood and Synthetic have been angels explaining me a bit about mapping/bsp functions. I have several ideas about changing my map around a bit...
rn
rnI want to implement an airstrike with a capping pos on the top of church (we are talking avalanche), an invisible wall to steer the nades away from allied spawn.
rn
rnAre there any restrictions to what I can do? I heared people talking about maxing something out? Polygons or something? I can't remember but I'm asking so I don't put in like 10 hours on something which doesn't even work in the first place.

Added later in the thread

Host_Error: PF_precache_model_I: Model 'sprites/georfsprite1.spr' failed to precache because the item count is over the 512 limit.nReduce the number of brush models and/or regular models in the map to correct this.nnThis is the only limit I know of Tank.

rnrnYes, if the map has to many precache items in it, it will crash.rnrnWhat's the problem with Custard?rnrnOh I see the problem. Take the attachment, it's the .bsp minus.rnrngeorfsprite1.sprrngeorfsprite2.sprrngeorfsprite3.sprrngeorfsprite4.sprrnrnDon't add these sprites to your map download or .res, just remove them and try the replacement .bsp I attached.
