map is lagging down to 5fps Created 20 years ago2004-07-14 19:21:50 UTC by [DDHLP-C]copper

wondering is there any tricks on top of the hints brushes to prevent this
all i did was put a circle window in my roofno errors in the vertexmanipulation technique i used at this point i have no hint brushes in map quite yet and will they really help this 5fps go up quite a bit or is there somthing else i might have missed?will put pic up on site

If you have a huge, outdoor map, or just big period, it might be due to that. Did you happen to use carve or hollow on the circle? Hint brushes may help, but I need to see a screenie to say anything for sure.

I don't wan to see the name de_full city as an example in this thread, shoo, mortals.

I didn't say anything....it's just a fact that big outdoor maps tend to lag more. Let's not turn this into another r_speeds argument.

i have map in unfinished maps with a pic it is called pillarbox there is a sky box that might be part of it and this map is in its early stages textures arent the ones in the final but they are what they are for now untill i get adobe and load cam pics and transfer and as for the circle made acylinder short one that is 16 sides then made brushes and vertex aligned so u get box around out side then adjusted cylinder in centre as glass so now u have a view of the sky

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

HLDM is most of what I play, ever since the giant wave of n00bs swarmed over CS.

play DoD then. and there are servers that noobs don't play in you know, the ones that they get owned to ? cs pisses on HL tbh

lol

cs pisses on HL tbh

Meh. I play HLDM and Natural-Selection, both very very excellent games. I don't like to have to spend hours looking for n00b free servers.

And I don't see the deal with DoD. If you want WWII multiplayer, play Battlefield 1942.

I play them all man, Half Life, TFC, (used to play DOD untill I couldnt update it anymore, some stupid error), Sven Co-op, Counter Strike, you know, the works.

now i have done away with sky box and put the sky directly relative to parts u will see like at that circle window i was having problems now i put a square brush around circle window not box just one brush air tight and does same effect with out pooching map .
and i looked at a tutorial i think u had answered rabidmonkey about nulltextures so i have now putt nulls on all outside faces player wont see there is updated version of map and wad so thankyou and i have just made about 20 textures for the map including rock faces and sky textures and pictures so map will be looking much nicer next version

ive been saying this alot recently. your taken alot more seriously if you use punctuation.

Ministeve is correct.

btw, is ddhlp a clan or something?

It's a process .

umm... you may have noticed im not the brightest bulb on the xmas tree here so could u break that down into idiot talk plz?

My comment?

It takes forever to proof read and put in the punc. By that time I could be mapping !!and besides punctuation is for essays or formal papers this is not an english essay we are here to help eachother not proof read but at the same time i will not be stubborn and i will give u this i will try to put more punctuation in k man!!! Did u see the map yet? It's nothing liike dock rocks awesome maps, but its somthing to start with.
I will be putting some new textures in soon and touching up nulls and adding hints and as for the punctuation again will work on it lol

you really have a problem, using punctation shows a sign of respect to the people who take the time to help you

I don't bother reading huge unpunctuated bodies of text anymore since I released that tutorial. If they can't be bothered to read about a bit, they're not worthy of my effort. I have better things to do than endlessly paraphrase old posts about easily-solved problems.

good point

and that still didnt have much punctuation in it. how old are you?

and punctuation should be standard in all writing, and punctuation does not seem to take much time.

Ministeve yes DDHLP is a team for HL

I run it

yes.
a lack of punctuation pisses me off tbh, it makes it hard to read and shows that you paid little attention in school and therefore shouldn't be using a precise program like hammer lol.
only thing i tend to leave out is capital letters because it takes too much time, a commar and a full stop are relatively easy =/

ps. if you use decent compile tools it removes any unseen faces anyway, so nulling is just a waste of time, unless it's in a place that players could see, but they'd have to be spectating at the time.
look at de_cbble for example, the little arched roofs at on the main roofs of the castle, the sides and some tops have been nulled to saved that 0.0001 fps drop (davej always was an anal mapper lol), and cs_havana, the back faces of the roads at the edge of the map, they have a texture scaled to around 5.00, looks noobish, but it's pretty clever tbh.

typing on the internet who would of thought peeps would be university professors would u like me to write an essay teach if u spent less time on the typing on this site and put that extra effort into the map think about how much nicer your map would be. Its typing guys ,on the internet. Leave analnism for work cuz home life and work are two different things if u cant understand what im saying whos the one bad at english i am not here to put expression into what im saying im here to let u know whats up just like everyone else and besides name one word in my huge body of text that is spelt wrong so u should be able to understand what im saying just fine, u respond every time do u not?i could understand if there were no spaces between anything and it was lumped together so stop being a wanker and lighten up this should be a fun website to help each other instead u have to worry about what your gonna say next in smite that u might be attacked for saying somthing that someone might think is tonto
attitudes have gone down the hill I've noticed from reading some of the forums so what if a guy doesnt know somthing u do. u make fun of him by putting up a post the worlds stupidest post competition who are we to judge things we are all here to help not judge i think a couple of priorties to the mandate on this site should be withheld a bit better if u want to kick me for saying the truth go right ahead itll prove what i said
notice how not one word is spelt wrong well to all who are righteous stay to the path of knowledge and try not to judge and keep mapping
