Compiler Sucks...

Post by Soviet » August 23rd, 2007, 11:45 pm

I've started compiling a big map w/ .bsp, vis, and lighting, it goes through bsp, gets to vis and starts doing the 0...1...2...3... thing, it does that twice, then on the third time it takes forever. It was on 2 for about an hour and its been on 3 for about 4 hours. Any idea whats wrong?

Vis, that can take awhile. Make everything detail except for brushes used with portals.

Well, i compiled a map with vis once a time, and after 24 hours it was still compiling the vis, and it was on a high end machine! Just compile without :D

VIS is important for MP maps!

Not sure exactly what it does though to be honest, but it is important.
