i shall smite you with your sky box. That is a BIG no no

yea im going to go through and see if i cant take out some usless brushes and see if that helps a bit

ill post it up but the hint brushes are gone... i deleted them out of frustration yesterday

speaking off wpolys Ive been having a rather difficult time with them in my map. I read the tutorials on both hint brushes and r_speeds and it helped alot. I turned alot of stuff into func walls and i lowered the polys by almost 1000 in some places. The problem is that i still have a fairly high poly map. I tryed the hint brush approach to block out 'seeing' the infatrucatures accross the map but they never work. I am almost positive im placing them right. Does anyone know why these hint brushes are working?

Ok what you need to do is open up steam on go into CS. Join any random game just for like a minute or two. It is then that the CS directory will created.

Yo i have this map (tis an awp map) and noramally i would just go by myself and fix this stuff but i have a deadline to meet for a 'client'. I need to get this map from nothing to completly final (texturing and lighting and everything perfect) in about two to three weeks. Thing is the buildings in this map are complex (as in have a lot of small pieces). I get r_speeds of 1300 when looking from side to side. How can i correct such a problem in such a large map. Time is of the essence.

Im making this awp map where there are two buildings on each side of a medium sized court yard. the problem is that iwhen i look at them from either side i can see entities through the brushes. Is this couaseed by my map being to big?

OH! when i look at my map with gl_wireframe 2 i can see everything at once. Hint and skip brushs will prevent me from see all of that and thus reducin wpoly count. Am i right?

bad fgd?

thanks CP
so a hint brush is like a marker of something out dont want to see or dont want your complier to render?

thanks for the advice but im a noob at this stuff please dont flame me...what are hint brushs? Oh i cant really skill ths skybox unless i fix the leak in the fan elevator...

oh btw here is the link to my map: http://cariad.co.za/twhl/mapvault_map.php?id=1399

dude i did you use point file and i cant find them

hey i posted my new map (he_dagreatwall_beta4) in the problem maps sections today and i was wondering if someone out there could kindly find that sneaky little leak in my map. I (like a noob) resorted to carving around an elevator that i was trying to build (ct side). Now I cant find the leak and out of frustration i used a box around the level :zonked:. Comments welcome too.
