That's unusual! But if ZDBSP does it automatically then I guess that makes sense.
Off hand, I just rebuilt the nodes with both DeepBSP and glBSP, and the map still won't run with Odamex (though, the crash is a little different in each case).
I'm not sure if this muddies the waters further, or if this is what you'd expect. But if you like, I can post the versions with these different nodes also.

I see! Well, I'm pleased that you've been able to figure it out so quickly - thanks for taking the time :) I'd be lying if I said that I fully understand the diagnosis, but 'infinite loop' makes sense enough. So, pardon my ignorance, but is there something straightforward that I can do to make the map playable, whilst continuing to use ZDBSP? Or is it a deeper issue, either the nodebuilder or with Odamex?

Hullo, I'm working on map that ideally I'd like to be playable in Odamex, but I'm having a problem: The map is pretty line intensive and - although I haven't surpassed what I took to be hard limits (there are currently around 30k lines and 58k sides, which will compress to 17k) if I try to open the map in Odamex it crashes immediately (to test, I tried deleting a particularly line intensive section, and then it opened fine). Notably, it only does this if I build the nodes with a nodebuilder other than Zennode; if I build the nodes with Zennode then it will run in Odamex, but there are large map-breaking HOMs everywhere (this is nothing to do with Odamex - it's the same in any other port). I'd like to use ZDBSP to build the nodes, since that doesn't generate the HOMs, but then the map immediately crashes Odamex :( Any advice here on what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
