Is it supposed to take this long? Created 20 years ago2004-03-10 10:31:47 UTC by Wrath_strike

New to mapping i was just curous, is the compiling supposed to take this long? about 3 hours ago i started compiling my map and it still aint done, i got 256 ram petium 3 processer, did it freeze?

It does, huh, believe me.

Try running the compiler with a batch file. And use the -estimate setting. This tells you how long left the program has to run to finish!

sigh well now i got a new prob:

Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity info_player_deathmatch @ ( 320,-128, 64)
Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

OMG, i finally got a map up and running, guys thx for all your help i greatly appreciate it!

LOL, err what did we do?

Nice avatar! Sephiroth rules! Looks kinda girly in that picture though.

try to do ur map with lill bits, bit by bit, works fine for me and so u take down the compiling time

read the tutorials

the one and only answer on all the questions: read the tutorials
magic words arnt they??

Why does Sphirtoth look so whimpy in that picture?

cos you cant see the rest of his sword.AHH, Thats better

na, looks pretty flimsy.

That sword is too long dammit.
Sephiroth = teh coolest, only its lame you can kill him with one strike

The game is set to that.
