Did your run the -chart command? it will tell you if you're coming close on any of the limits, even give you a warning like "oh shi.. you have a lot of planes, BETER WATCH OUT!"
-occluders
-func_lod
-model fade distance
-func_detail all small stuff, stuff off-grid or rotated. Pretty much anything that's not a visblocker
-nodraw unseen stuff obv.
-yes propper too!

Also, there are TONS of optimization thingies you can do. Start Here, but also look up:-occluders

It's good to reformat frequently, virus or not.
I try to make it easier on myself by keeping all my programs on a seperate partition(like steam!), so i don't have to take 4 years reinstalling every-single-one of my programs..

stojke: i never had one problem with avast, not ever... i was running MSE for a while, but switched to avast cuz it offers more options and features. Try MSE if avast is causing problems for you maybe.
Also, it's been my experience that anyone who uses and/or pays for norton products is really really really dumb.

Use -Chart parameter and confirm how close you may be getting to any resource limits?! What a funny error btw! =)

Also, here some results from Interlopers.

Think of it like an extended shoutbox, but for fast/incidental/misc questions that don't really warrant their own thread.

Ever considered using SOHL to do this? It would give you more entities to play with getting this accomplished.
Stu: i forgot about the floor in your rooms map! Haha that map was pimp and one of the hilights of the whole project. =)

I don't see why not.
Texturing a button with NPC_CLIP will automatically make it non-solid afaik, and you if it won't parent, there are various workarounds to get to do so.

Is there a way to change the "max viewable distance" in source maps? In my worldspawn, it just says "max range 12000" and i can't change it..
PB: idk the 3D window renders much smoother for my computer without the transparency. I MUCH prefer it. (i'd show you a side-by-side comparison, but my shitbox is compiling atm.. =P
TheHunter: i prefer the opaque tool textures. I find it really hard to see trigger and player_clip brushes, and it's harder imo to select them.. could i just edit the vmt/vtf and make them opaque?

I found if i have hammer 3.x open first, and then open up the sdk at the same time, Hammer 4 renders just like it's big brother!
Everything seems faster and looks much clearer to me, probably because of brush and decal transparency being shut off.
It just feels better like it reminds me of home. i prefer the look of hammer 3 to 4.. is it possible to turn off the tranparency or whatever and make it look like this all the time?

Instead of new source mappers (me) spamming a million questions in the forum, how bout a "quick question" thread, like some othe mapping sites do?
Question: Is there a way to change the rotation of a func_phsybox or prop_physics_override on OnMapSpawn, using a logic_auto or whatever?
I have several mouse-controlled turrets, and they all have to be facing east on startup, so i'm hoping there is a way to move them to other directions, else i can only have them on one side of the map.

... and before he could get the words out, a 2-ton crate of nyan fell on his balls, crushing them instantly to dust. Dimbark's mother decided to tell the doctors to go ahead and
net nanny for the 11-12 yr-old boy, to filter out words that his mother might permaban him for if she saw what he was reading online.
So yah, make sure it's running in OpenGL. Also, a lot of time your laptop will not ship with the best nvidia drivers. Get the latest you can find, whether that's from dell or not.
I've never tried Nem's, but i know Twister is pretty easy to use.
TRUE HOMIES understand the No. 1 Day God, and 4 corner days...
Yeah, i only have 512 thanks for making us feel small.
Really hard! if you include trying to do all the timed-training challenges(and there are so many!)

It's part of a carepackage for my upcoming nuketown map. Care to help beta test?
Got it working Striker!
When i starting replying to your suggestion, i realized i was trying to kill the game_ui, and not the culprit, a Point_ViewControl, which is one of those handful of point entities that won't auto-reset each round.
So, i just targeted the Point_VC instead of the game_ui, and IT WORKS!
Thanks Sir! you've maid the credits for helping i know you are so honoured.

Thank you for blocking my edit Joebama.i wishe we had "preview" like in PM composer, and this wouldn't happen so often.. bam.
Can anyone tell me the proper entity/output to deactivate a game_ui at the end of a MP round(CS:S)?
The closest i've been able to find is a logic_auto, set to kill the game_ui OnMultiNewRound, but the game_ui is still active once the next round starts..

Edit: i tried setting a logic auto to kill it OnSpawnMap, but that crashes the game! =/bam. 6 extra seconds!
Ok. that video talks about stargates. James Spader was in the original stargate movie. James Spader was in Supernova. That theme song was from Supernova, which stared James Spader.
Coincidence? i think no.
I think i even heard a time cube reference on there, so now, shit is serious. Seriously, i hope the aliens don't start harvesting our brains because they serve as natural breath fresheners.
aliens make me scart.
