@23-down thanks, I found a problem with huge solid, problem was in Kreedz blocks. Solved, thanks

I don't think so it's because of complex geometry, it's normal corridor with 5 games, and I can't compile map without parameter -fast since I made outside games (normal geometry, nothing special/weird) and yes, I used func_detail

Hi, I'm creating a new map, but without any parameters or with parameter -full on VIS, LeafThread stucks on 90% (+5hours). Parameter -fast works good, map is running without any big problem. How can I fix this?

Compile log with -fast (RAD, VIS) parameter:

Ok, fixed this problem, but I have another. Buttons have targets to multi_manager (mm) and mm triggers relays, which deactivate 5 ambient_generic, and triggers also one ambient to play sound. It's ok, but relays can't be triggered. In-game I'm pressing buttons, and only music is playing, any can't be deactivated.. Even console after command "developer 2" types me firing relay, but nothing is happening with them. What's the problem? I checked entities a lot times, I didn't found any mistake.

Hi, I'm new here, and with my first question. How can I reach the best quality of entity ambient_generic? I played one jail map called jb_glaitura, and in-game was music in "musical chairs game" super clean and HD.
