STUPID GAY THING Created 20 years ago2004-05-28 09:42:33 UTC by J@CK_M-N

sorry about my french but im just really pissed about my map. About 20 seconds after you start the game quits!!!!

er. do you have something set to trigger after 20 seconds coincidentally?

by chance do you have too many weapon/ammo entities in the map? that happens to me from time to time...ok i admit it only happend once but i feel your pain

Used the Check For Problems tool?

are you leaning on the "Esc" key?

it happens ...

I hate you kol, lol

By the way, When compiling my whole computer freezes, i've waited for ages but nothing happens. I go into the task manager and it says "Hammer not responding". Its done this a number of times now, can someone offer assistance.

Be patient?

Compiles can take a long time. Most one of mine's ever taken was around 4hrs on a 1.9GHz PC with 256MB of RAM. That was Cause of Death, my competition map.

Send me the RMF and any other files like wads etc and I will compile it 4 ya! Shuld take 5 minutes on my 4GhZ beast with 2gb of ram </pimp>

well heres the thing, i compiled and it took 7 mins, i then added one door and fixed up the texture on a few walls and compiled again and this time it just never ended 30 mins pass and i got fed up with it. Do you have to keep deleting the bsp in the valve/maps folder? or is it just my computer being a bastard, BTW, im running a 2.67 GhZ processor with a 256 memory stick, so i dont think speed should be a problem.

You don't have to delete the previous .bsp. When your map compiles without problems, the old .bsp is overridden.

As for the longer compile, I sense some... unfamiliarity with the way VIS and RAD work, thus a probably not-so-optimized level... maybe?

Maybe post it in the Problems section of the Vault so we can take a look for ourselves?

Hopefully ill get round to doing that.

I know last time i posted it the poly level was though the roof! Way past the suggested 800 mark. I can't get it down for some reason, maybe its because i dont want to put my textures up to scale 10. I really dont get the whole r-speeds thing.

Maybe because you don't really know how VIS works?

Scaling textures only reduces r_speeds in some situations. All faces are split up after 240 pixels. So, when the texture on a face gets scaled, you get less upsplitting. However, on surfaces smaller than 240 units it doesn't reduce any polygons.

does it have to do something with a door that wen it opens it is an error? it happened to me. check for problems!
