@WorstMapper
Sorry for your laptop, then.

I'm not responsible for your laptop, by the way. Ah, it probably burned because it overheated because of fullbright mode.

2)
I meant:
1. Place an info_texlights entity
2. In its properties, disable SmartEdit
3. Press Add and type the name of the floor texture you're using
4. And then give it a value of 255 255 128 400

So, your floors will emit light and the map will be fully lit, if all floor textures in the map emit light.

If you want the entire map bright, then don't run HLRAD at all. Go to Expert Mode and disable hlrad.exe.

Also, another method would be using the floor textures as texlights, if you're willing to do it.

Also, you're probably using the wrong angles for light_environment. Place it somewhere in your map (only if you have sky brushes), and then go to the parameter Pitch and type -90.

You silly, little kid, that's exactly what he said!

"Paired with good mapping and a clever entity setup, it's very possible."
Games are illusions anyway, so is every single stealth in every single game.

I'm capable of doing both, so this shouldn't be that hard to implement.
I'll do a testmap just to develop the actual setup for it.

Having played CS:CZ:DS, I know what it looks like. There are dedicated hiding areas where the NPCs won't see the player, and then some missions like Miami Heat have parts where you have to memorise the NPC's walking pattern.

Lol. Well, time to get those screenshots, or maybe a video...

In the meantime, I managed to optimise the map well enough so that hlvis.exe only takes 4 minutes and 4 seconds!

And when you realise it took more than 2.6 hours yesterday... wow. I was mind-blown.

I know it's still GoldSRC, but it's GoldSRC Ã— 1.5!
The term 'Svengine', I found it somewhere. I'm not exactly sure where, but I guess I'm not the only one who calls it that way.

Also, Windawz, take a look at Sven Manor. You should look around there, and you'll surely find lots of stuff. Sven Co-op introduced a bunch of new things, and I can't wait to use them. (I actually can, but I'm just saying that I'm excited for them)

Anyway, I'm sure there's a way to add stealth. You'll see.

I've got some neat stuff about Kobbl coming up soon.
For now, since I don't have the screenshots, I'll just write some text:

The map will be configured to make players run a bit slower, and I'll try making the gravity a little bit stronger, too.

Basically, I can put sv_friction, sv_gravity, sv_accelerate, sv_airaccelerate etc. in the map .cfg file. This means that, if I tweak them in a specific way, the map will have the feeling of slight, additional inertia while you're moving in it.

Why is that? Well, the campaign version of the map will require that, because I just don't want players bunny hopping in the map, as that could just ruin the map since some parts will require stealth.

Ah well, what else to expect from a pack of typical Sven Co-op players? This is why I'd rather not like to see the map being abused on public servers.

Next, I'll not need to worry much about the materials. In this case, I'm referring to the sounds emitted depending on the texture. Sven Co-op allows a custom materials.txt.

I also found out a bug in the teleporting part of the healer. I'm yet to discover the issue and the solution.

And lastly, I am optimising the map on the VIS side of things:

Wow. There are around 1100 portalleafs and 3000 numportals in the map. I'm looking forward to reducing that number a little bit. :3

I've managed to open the portal file:

HOLY HELL, no wonder VIS takes more than 2 hours to process the darn map!
Alright, now it will be easier to see what's wrong.

But I'm really confused about this part:

I'll have to look further...
The windows, for example:

In the editor, they're covered with a hint+skip brush, just like they should.

But I just don't understand why these smooth window things produce such nightmarish results, even though they're like this:

Also, this thing is func_detail so it doesn't make VIS work longer:

This stuff is plain unpredictable.

Oh... NOW I SEE.
THIS is also func_detail:

Yay, looks like we can fix one part of the issue. :DDDDD
Kids, always remember to double-check for func_details so you can cover them too.

P.S. SC-VIS.exe managed to finish processing the map in 10101 seconds. Seriously.

And yet another reason why VIS takes so long:

Yeah, gotta turn it to func_detail right now.

Anyway, big thanks to Solokiller for reminding me of Crafty.

You know, I opened Compilator 3 which I had installed since early 2016.
I configured it for Sven Co-op, and OH MY GOD!

I've never been so happy for a compiling time!
LeafThread gets stuck at 16% (1080 out of 6641), 43% (2885) and it's still compiling.

Umm... but hlvis.exe only takes about 20 to 40MB of RAM on my end.

Only hlrad.exe can be so memory-hungry.

Anyway, guess what. I decided to switch to Svengine.
I instantly didn't regret it.

A map like this totally deserves the shift to Svengine. :3

Isn't it obvious?

I've shown it a lot of times, and I'm showing it again, my 2007 laptop. The one I use to make my maps with.
I've never had a 64-bit OS in my life, lol. Only 16-bit and 32-bit ones.

But wouldn't the biggest difference in using 64-bit compiling tools be the one about being able to allocate more memory? I don't think that using a 64-bit version of hlvis.exe (if it exists, it does in Sven Co-op, though) would that significantly improve my compile speeds.

hlvis.exe gets stuck at 70% on my monstrosity of a map, that is fun_kobbl.
That's why I decided to open the portal file to analyse why it's taking so long and how to improve the compile times.

In Crafty:

J.A.C.K. doesn't say anything, and I'm not really willing to port the map into VHE and Sledge just to try out opening .prt files.
Dr. Orange mentioned that I can't open .prt files in the case of GoldSRC.

I've also opened the .prt file in Notepad++, and this showed up:

I believe that these 2 numbers are the ones for numportals and stuff when hlvis.exe starts up.
Then there's a row of these numbers:

[From line 72]
50
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
20
38
17
1
1
1
31
11
[To line 89]
As well as more such numbers, and A LOT of 3D coordinates, which I expected to appear there.

The questions are:
Question #1: Is there a correct way to open these .prt files?
Question #2: What kind of signature is Crafty talking about?

Ah well, the least I can do is clean it, then upgrade the RAM to 4GB.

Now, let's see if we have some stuff from fun_kobbl:

Yeah, I have more, it's just not ready to be shown to you people. xd
This one, anyway, needs a few carpets and some neat decorations.

Edit:
Oh, right, I've done some terrain optimisations here:

It's more low-poly. Doesn't affect the framerates that much, but still, it's enough to make a difference.

Yes, I've added a teleporter for something. For the mapping gods' sake, this is the fun_ version after all.

Furthermore, it's actually meant for this thing.
It basically charges your health back to 100 (if it manages to do it on time), and then you're given extra 500 health points, after which you're teleported on the roof.

I used DarkPlaces for Quake 1. It has OpenGL. And my GPU hates OpenGL, so I spent 10% of my total playtime at 3fps, because of dynamic lights.

I actually like Quake 2 more than Quake 1. Mostly because of its theme and art-style. Its engine, idTech 2, is also more improved than Quake 1's idTech 2.

It's an Intel GMA 965... >:P

IT SUCKS AT EVERYTHING. The only thing it's good at is rendering the Windows GUI, but even that is laggy sometimes. I HATE IT, I HATE IT AND I HATE IT. I'm so envious of people with Intel HD Graphics. They feel like they're entitled to complain about Intel HD Graphics. No, they don't know jack s*** about it.
Of course, there's always someone with a worse GPU than mine, so I'm at least happy that it wasn't a GMA 950. xd

See, I have a laptop from year 2007. But still, this thing manages to impress me by not dying, lol. I'm thankful for that.

Anyway, with my anger out of the way...

I was told by Glockster that the Bevel texture is useful for this. Basically, I hid the ramp so you can see what's going on.
When I'd go up the stairs, I'd have a little bump on the top part. When I put the Bevel texture there, going from the flat surface to the slope felt like a smooth transition. Mmm... :]

Also, for comparison:

Low-poly vs. high-poly version. :3

fun_kobbl will be more like a mix of high-poly and low-poly.

de_kobbl took a heavy beating from Glock18. So I'll have to update it again. XD

So, I improved the bricks. Now they're not sticking out of the wall, but they're rather slapped onto it.

Made the stairs repeat less... and that reminds me of these:

So repetitive...

I also made changes to the spades near the table. Now they look more like a V-shape thing rather than square-shaped.

Lastly, I made the low-res textures for the GSU version. On my next map, I'll try out a new method. ^^

Basically, Glock told me that de_kobbl's biggest flaw is the fact that I have lots of wpolys.

I was able to reach over 7000 wpolys on the T spawn. Seriously. And I was able to reach 9000 wpolys in fun_kobbl!!!

My last comeback to CoD for now:

Yes, we start with our meme Pvt. Bell, who didn't follow his damn orders.
I assume this is WW2 Pvt. Bell's grandson.

This was my favourite mission:

Guess what I did. I just ran around with the machine-gun (and the P90 when I ran out of ammo for the machine-gun) and jumped around so they couldn't hit me. What an amazing hip-fire experience, lol.

At some point, I turned on the specular maps:

But the game was too laggy, so I turned them off.

The same thing goes for shadows and dynamic lights:

They're beautiful, but they halve my fps.

I'm just so sorry because of these cute, little dogs:

Ow...

Heavy would be proud, lol.

Anyway... I managed to complete All Ghillied Up.

The hardest part was this:

I failed it countless times. Then I realised I had to move a bit to the side, lol.

Also:

Wow, this part really reminds me of one of the parts at my elementary school. The stairs and the fences on the stairs are just like that.

Wow, looks like Zakhaev was really given some priority in terms of rendering.

This guy got killed:

Gaz! NOOOOOO

GIVE ME THE GUN, NOW!

Good night, gospodin Zakhaev. See you in hell. >:)

My laptop won't run WaW nor any of the latter ones at a framerate greater than 0.5fps. CoD 4 ran at 5 to 10fps most of the time, but I'm used to it, so I managed to complete it, lol.

@SourceSkyBoxer

Sorry, but your screenshots are not demonstrating my method. You're using tetrahedrons, while I'll be using 4-sided pyramids:

Now, what's the difference? Well, 2x smaller brush count. There are 16 brushes in the picture, while tetrahedrons would give me 32 brushes in this scenario. Right?

Other than that, you can make rooms with pyramids:

And the terrain:

(yup, the walls, too)

But, we now get a question: "Why should we use this instead of tetrahedrons and/or triangular prisms?"
I've never directly said that you should use it. It's just another method which would be useful to know someday. Also, the automatic triangulation is a feature in J.A.C.K., so VHE 3.x users would have to correct the brushes manually, which renders this method as "not worth it" for VHE 3 users. xd

It also has other flaws. For example, after you triangulate it, you shouldn't modify it again. But it's still nice to know. Oh, also, I used a 5-sided pyramid on one part. :3

And my "big" tutorial, well:

I haven't touched it since... I don't know. It's been months.

Considering that GTA:SA always crashes on my laptop, I think it's a good time that I retry Deus Ex.

(wow, I haven't seen the word "retry" for years, literally)

Now I got an idea to make a room out of 4-sided pyramids. If that ends up being able to maintain itself, I guess I'll use it, lol.

Those could also be used for terrain.
I mean, one can simply, in J.A.C.K., put a whole bunch of upside-down pyramids, manipulate them to make terrain, and then just select all and press Shift+V and then Ctrl+Alt+T.
Of course, this is only if you're never going to change the terrain again, because further modifications would lead to problems, if not used well.

Oh, cool, I guess I can add this method to my big tutorial. Yay.

I actually combine both: triangular prisms and tetrahedrons.
A great example of that is the cave in 4Way:

This is where I used normal blocks + triangular prisms.

But this? Triangular prisms + tetrahedrons. Yeah...

I can't wait to go back to this cute, little map. I just need to finish de_kobbl first.

Having completed CoD 1, I went ahead and deleted it (because approx. 1.5GB is just too much space for a game I'll probably never play again), and installed CoD 2. And, just like CoD, I completed CoD 2 in 2 days. I let my cousin (who is a console gamer, but he got used to the keyboard, somehow) play a few missions, too.

Funnily enough, a few of the funny moments from CoD 1 actually appeared in CoD 2.

Such as:

Another fox hunting mice in the snow. :3

What are you lookin' at? >:/

Meanwhile, this guy, even though I shot him, looks like everything is just OK:

Lol, he showed me a raised thumb, and he looks like he's trying to tell me "Alles ist gut!". XD

Also, I think this guy was praying or something:

(I managed to stroke F12 fast enough to make it appear like 10fps)

And LASTLY:

Lol.

I saw it in CoD 1, and I expected it here. I wonder if they added it in the latter Call Of Duty games.

These old Call Of Duty games are so fun, I don't understand why nobody plays them (assuming they don't). :/

I made it so that it sparks only when you're standing on the broken pole. And I died. xd

I overhauled this section over here. I basically added the triangular terrain. The low-poly version will, of course, have a slightly lower-poly terrain over there.

This thing was inspired by the thing in front of my house.

I decided to go for a subtle, terror-like theme to match the map's background story. The lighting is improved on this part, too, although this screenshot is an older one, so the lighting is too dark here.

Needs a bit brighter lighting on this part, lol.

Now sure if I should remove this, but it seems too big.
