Power outage....yep, that would do it. Hey vs49688, have you ever thought about investing in a power protection unit (UPS)? It does not have to be expensive, as long as you have one that can give you at least a few minutes of time for you to save any work, before you can properly shut off your PC. Here's what I am talking about: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=72&name=UPS
I have one, and trust me, it will save you plenty of frustrations in the future!

My UPS has saved me endless frustrations, end has even gotten me through 5-10 minute power outages.

Makes you wonder how complex that map actually is...

Post #269915
It's probably just a field with a helicopter pad in the middle. A huge, unoptimized, dark field.

Yeah, his previous maps really performed BAD on OpenGL due to the high level of detail, but it ran fine on Direct3D.

I've seen the map, and Jeff got it pretty right ;o
Except with about a trillion air nodes.

So, huge helicopter/controller sequence.
Hotdog: If you remake it, make sure you add more floodlights, I should'nt have to tell you that shadows are hard on RAD.

Well I could try to compile it, no promises, but i am heading to sleep in a few hours so I could run it while i'm gone and see the progress when I get back.

Seriously.
I just loaded the map in Hammer. No wonder it takes years to compile this. There are lots of detail brushes, handrails and support beams mostly as well as four benches and fences.
All of them are solid world brushes. The black fences at the beginning of the map are already func_walls but i suggest turning them into illusionaries with CLIP brushes over them. The same goes for anything else.
Lots of nodes too. I think you can remove about half of them.
And make use of the BEVEL texture to texture unseen faces, because there are a lot of unseen faces. This also helps decreasing compile time.

Doesnt texturing with bevel also increase clipnodes?

You mean he only func_walled the transparent stuff?
I thought you were better at mapping, hotdog. I expected better.

No JeffMOD, the black fences don't have blue transparent textures, its made entirly out of brushes. A lot.

WHAT?!
That method should only be used for grates and vents, not big things like fences! (well, unless it's a wooden fence like the bottom screenie)
EDIT: What is that sexy glass texture on the booth and where can I get it?
And func_wall those brush-based details, that's why the compile is never finishing, too many damn vis-leaves to make!

Yes, the true reason of why your map sucks revealed.
Unoptimization is the only reason.

Just PM me a link to the original RMF proper (no textures, unless you feel like sharing the glass, then just put it into bitmap, plz) and I'll func_wall everything, maybe that will work.
Posted 14 years ago2009-07-14 09:47:14 UTC
Post #270103
Don't func_wall everything, use func_illusionaries as well.
Posted 14 years ago2009-07-14 10:02:47 UTC
Post #270104
Yeah, good point. Stuff the player can't get to should usually be illusionary-ed.
So, you know, just send me that RMF and I can take a look, I'd love to help out with this mod more.

So, you did have backups of all the data, right?
RIGHT?!
EDIT: The tram ride is the same route as the original HL, isn't it?
Or is it from the other direction, so you don't have to decompile maps?
Also, why the desision to add new weapons, besides the sniper rifle?
And all the new weapon skins?
Question?

It wasn't on the site...nothing important that we don't have on our computers. And the tram is coming from the other direction. And It was an original idea to add new weapons...thats how I met vs...and skins to improve HL overall

Okay, as long as it's not just random stuff.
Also, what weapon are you using as the 9mmhandgun?

haha so true It's still a 9mmhandgun...just a little more emphasis on 'glock' instead of handgun...it's also properly semi-automatic so you can fire as fast as you can click the mouse

Glock 20?
If you want a glock 17 that you can give to your barney as well: http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/download/27454
But I'm with you, berettas suck. Hell, I already made a barney replacement, and two Hgrunt barney models using this baby. Only problem is the shoot animation, looks kinda robotic.
EDIT: Hey, what kind of areas do you need for the mod? I'm bored with my intro I'm working on, maybe I could whip something up for you to use.

OK.
Feel free to rip apart areas too, if the scale and door textures don't suit you.
EDIT: Okay, got some areas finished.
These are connected by a tunnel, and I have another tunnel in the RMF that won't be enterable in the BSP.
I think I'll make sections of tunnel with stations and stuff in them, but not connect them so you can have your say where they all go.
No NPCs though, I don't know what you want in there, or what models you're using.

yeah making stuff like railings and complicated stuff world brushes will BURY your vis and rad... I tried joining the netvis session but i guess you guise gave up and opted to redesign? probably a good idea...
anyway, i'm ready to netvis again when you need, just put out the bat signal..
