Well i think this map is just a bit to complex for Half-life. Also SKY BOX!! BAD!! Very bad. Also i think some of the brush work has to be a little bit neater. I mean look at the jump pad! Very messy brushwork there

I cant even get ur map to run! And i think u forgot to include ur wad file

opps

updated!!!

Map updated with comments. Take a look!

Thanx I will

I am still getting disapearing walls and sky when you stand in certain spots in the map.

One person suggested to me that I up the max vis distance in the map properties.

I did I bumped it from 4096 to 8192 I even tried 16384. did not help.

I have updated the map in the map vault.

Thank you Anthony The map looked a lot better with the canyon wall sarounding the inter canyon. Nice touch!!!!!

this problem may be cause by how I am compileing the map. I am using zoner tools, but the map looks like it is using only 8 fps after complie.

any suggestions would be great

i haven't looked at it, but it might be caused by the renderer looking at too many faces at once. try using hint and skip textures in the zoner wad. read the tut on r_speeds for more details.

Hey SuperMechaCow,

I think that part of the problem is that I am running HL in software not open GL.

What you think?

Ah yes of course! I had no problems running this map (apart from slightly longer compile times), but im using Opengl mode. Try it and see

Wee

Will do when I get home

Running HL in OpenGL helped a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a wy to complie in opengl or is it set by default in hammer?

OpenGL is the way the map is rendered (drawn) by HL, not anything to do with how it is compiled.

Very general rule of thumb: people play in Software, it looks bad. People play in OpenGL or even d3d, it looks good.

you should test maps in software.. its more stable, and crashes pretty smoothly

Yea there are parts in the map that drop the fps to 8 and then it jumps to 60 fps if you keep moving.

It works alot better in OpenGL and the light_envioment works and I do not have disapering textures or sky textures.

lol there u go all good now!
