Llama: my mean r_speeds are about a 900, but as high as 12-1300 in a very few spots.
Cap P:
I think you're right about the terrain. The end result in-game is not worth the time spent building it, the bugs, and increased wpolys. Again too, it doesn't even look much better than more simply designed stuff
Not getting the dreaded "light styles" error, and I only have two groups of four blinking lights in the whole map. Reduced it to two groups of one, and they still don't blink. Like I said, it worked fine in earlier compiles and in cordon...
The stuff I've lifted off the floor is in a lower part of the level and doesn't block vis that much/r_speeds aren't so horrible down there either.
I found changing all the complex stuff "to world" saves me +200 wpolys--and adds ages to the compile time--, so it might be a necessary evil.
Initially, I was hoping to seperated the upper and lower portion of the map with hint brushes--crater opens to the lower level--, but I've learnt the hard way and since read that Hints don't work in open spaces
So I had to "seal" the upper and lower levels and did a bit of simple trickery to make it seem they're not
Thanks for the 411 about zhlt light flags too...that is really good to know.
Thanks for your thoughts guys!
