WIN32 HLDS Server Crash - help?

yeah, i'm desperate. if anybody has a clue on what to do, i'd appreciate it...

When playing the maps as_cargo, de_laguna, and others, my HLDS Windows server crashes with the following error message (where $spritepath=path to specific sprite, relative to root "cstrike")

Host_Error: PF_precache_model_I: Model '$spritepath' failed to precache because the item count is over the 512 limit. Reduce the number of brush models and/or regular models in the map to correct this.

How can I fix this? I've re-downloaded the map from FPSBanana.com, cs-maps.org, and cs-maps.jolt.co.uk. Still no luck. I have played the maps before so I'm starting to wonder if I need to change a cvar on the server.

Thanks

**EDIT**
I asked a guy that runs a hosting company...he told me it was a plugin error. If i were to disable the plugin causing it, it'd stop. Guess what plugin it was? WC3FT! how many models is the mod putting onto the map and can you cut it down any? i want to play some of these maps...

Type in console and post the output. amx_plugins, amx_modules, meta list

you have no choice... you can't play it... it's a limitation of halflife.. i'm assuming you're running war3ft w/it

yeah if i want to play it i have to diable the war3ft mod. Funny thing is I downloaded it while playing one of the war3 mods - i know because i dont play regular CS anymore =)

btw i only added amxx and WC3FT to the server...i installed HLDS and then unzipped the WC3FT files to the cstrike directory - thats it (except liblist.gam).

i'm sad tho cuz laguna is a good map...fun with wc3 too...
