My bsp and csg compile for my klein bottle are taking forever... over 7 and 12 minutes respectively. Even on my biggest maps I've never had those stages last so long. ( they usually last under 10 seconds each!)

My Klein bottle for geometry challenge 7 is done, It's just taking forever to compile!

Is there a way I can make these go quicker?

Command line: "C:C2Valve Hammer Editortoolshlbsp.exe"-low
"-low" sets your compile tools' process priority to low. That has to slow things down moderately. Get rid of it.

Yeah I didn't even have those switches intentionally on except for vis and rad (they were turned on under "shared" options in batch compiler). Thanks for spotting it, trying now. = )

edit: it's not helping, csg just took 7 minutes again, oh well! It's just weird I've never had these compile stages last so long! :quizzical:

not for nothing, but take a step back and look at what you're trying to compile. Half life doesn't like complicated geometry much, captain :)
I would not be surprised at all by that compile.

Yeah, but this is not the first time I've done something like this... these sort of bsp and csg times are unprecedented in my experience, but o well, ur right anyway! : P
