high r_speeds from weird vising. Created 16 years ago2007-05-04 18:57:49 UTC by Clerlic

Hey, i've been making this map for past few weeks, but now i have a weird problem, for some reason i see a bunch of objects through the floor, even that it's a normal brush. That really bumps up my r_speeds and i'd like to ask if you know something about that?
Here's a screenshot http://www.clerlic.net/dj.jpg

404 NOT FOUND!!11~`

404'd.

fk! it was http://www.clerlic.net/dj.JPG ...

Anyways i used gl_wireframe 2 on this one to see every poly being rendered, and for some reason it's rendering polys on the bottom level.

Err... It's obviously because you didn't block the view of that area well enough. By the way, nice looking map.

thanks man, i've put a few hint brushes in some places, i'll try to compile it now.

It's going to be hard if what you have there in the picture is a central vertical space. Too many portals would be connected in that case.

A useful tip would be to be more carefull when making brushes into func_walls, since ALL of the entity will be seen by the engine once it has seen at least something. For example, if you selected every leg make of every table and made one func_wall out of that, if only one of those legs was visible, the engine would automatically render the rest (it interprets the whole func_wall should be visible)

Oh shit, i suspected that, it gave me a "too many brush entities" error a while ago so i just took all the func_wall entities on the bottom floor and made them one... Shouldn't have done that i guess But i don't it how it sees them when there are 2 huge brushes in between.

Make sure you run at least normal vis, rather than compiling with fast vis.

I ran it twice with normal and full vis because i thought it was ready.

Damnit, after making smaller clusters of func_walls instead of one huge one, i get that too many objects error

Host_Error: PF_precache_model_I: Model 'sprites/pistol_smoke1.spr' failed to precache because the item count is over the 512 limit.
Reduce the number of brush models and/or regular models in the map to correct this.

I think i'll just have to group objects around other places then.

Wohoo, it works much better now! There's still 1100 r_speeds at one point, but my school computers can handle that. It's a map of my school btw. Here's a link if somebody's interested http://www.clerlic.net/de_juhannuskukkula.bsp

Put that in the Map Vault dude, it's pretty decent. We need moar school maps in these hard times we live in.

I don't think the map vault accepts file sizes that big...
