Somebody Can fix map for me? Low fps (re Created 9 years ago2014-11-10 19:34:32 UTC by ZomboidArea

Hi!

Somebody can fix map for me in free time because on my map are low fps because are too much rendering. (You must add hints and skip)

[Link Removed]

We must huh?
I'm sure lots of people will gladly take a look at the map, but none of us are going to 'fix' it for you.
We CAN however offer tips and tricks on how to optimize.
This is a temple of learning, not a free-labor distributor!

So I need to ask you some questions
1) what engine is this for?
2) which areas are experiencing low FPS
3) which compile tools are you running?

3b) what compile settings have you used?

In the mean time, here's a hint tutorial that you can browse through.

Anyway, welcome!

Lol, some screenshots of your map might help diagnosing too, but FPS optimization comes down to proper visblocking, or basically: limiting the number of areas a player can see into at once.

There is a great overview of the visibility process over at Interlopers, plus excellent video tutorials are available by 3kliksphilip, and GameBanana's Will2k has released some great optimization-related articles recently.

As with anything mapping related, The Valve Developer Community has articles describing Visibility Optimization. the same principles apply to Source or GoldSrc

As Tet mentioned, what tools you're using is very important: DO NOT compile with the stock Hammer ones!

I bet you, its either a leak or the map is in a sky box

Oh, I don't know, I can't see someone who knows about hint brushes with that.

1) what engine is this for?
2) which areas are experiencing low FPS
3) which compile tools are you running?
3b) what compile settings have you used?

1) CS 1.6 (goldsrc)
2)

3) KBAT v 1.8
3) Full compilation only without include textures

You're barely topping 3000 wpoly; extensive optimization really isn't required here.

Also KBAT? I thought I knew all the compile tools

Great looking map! =P

After looking at the screens, the only things I could recommend are things you've clearly already done, but maybe double check all your visblocking structures are world brushes.

If you want further feedback I'd be happy to look at the map. Also for tips on advanced optimization, contact Will2K at GB; he is very willing to help

the textures are too high resolution in some places and use sprites for those light effects

I delete sprites from lamps because I had too much entites +500

Stupid Question
Does texture resolution affect wpoly or just general fps?

Are your volumetric lights func_detail or func_illusionary or what? I think func_illusionary are rendered all the time?

I suggest reading this http://spr1n.kz-baltic.eu/mapping/FPSimprove/
It really helped me when i was optimizing de_newhorizon.
Tho it's old but it explains how goldsrc engine works.

^ That is awesome Lajron. So many things I forgot and didn't know about!

I meant they are too scaled down.

How did you manage to use 500 entities? 500 wpoly is what some of ur screens are worth IMO

Hi guys. I fixed my problem and I dont want share map anymore. Can I please Admin to delete link from first post? Because I cant edit :C

Link removed. What is KBAT, by the way? I've never heard of it.

KBAT I think is compilator from my country created by person from my country.
Is version 2.0+ but I dont know here I can get his because its vero old compilator and all links to download in internet are expired.

I found this: http://kbat.cba.pl/KBAT_v_1.8.exe

I use 1.8 version and this is 1.8 - try it but I think this compilator from this link is on polish language version.

If its really old then why use it ?
VHLT offers a LOT of improvements over standard tools, though ive never heard of KBAT before still the point stands.

Didn't valve fix the limit on GS ents to 2k ?

I don't think so, rufee.

Xash3D and Trinity does though (1024 max ents I think). Or maybe just via advanced compile parameters.

Ive been hearing that its the same as source now.
Well only one way to find out then

I remember i tried adding a buttload of models on a map. Precache limit is still 512 in GS even after the updates.

or = 512 ents wouldn't work.

How did you end up lowering the FPS, ZomboidArea?

Add block with skip and hint texture but still in some areas are little lags. My map is too detail
