Map compilation time - 7 days

[megazor]

Well as its the most popular chat on the site, im telling my question...

Ive made a map (CoD1) and am going to compile it with full lighting so that it should look like stock CoD maps, so i checked all the necessary options like verbose, extra and 40 sun diffuse samples. i tried compiling it, but when lighting stuff started going on, the compiler wrote 7 days remaining. lol well i thought 40 sun diffuse samples caused such a shit, but im wanting it to be compiled lit fully!

i cant keep my pc running for 7 days, so i decided i needed to find a person who could do it... if theres such a kind person on the site, notice me. also i would like to learn if the compiler tells the truth about 7 days being the compilation time, AND also if u know how to solve my trouble differently, notice me.

What teh fuck have you done? Ultra detailed and portalled map that looks like stock o.O?

Does it just say it at the start? Because it usually doesn't give the most accurate time at the beginning. I can't imagine what you'd have to have to compile it for 7 days..

tbh i just remade the stock map mp_harbor and it looks even better and more detailed coz i added some stuff.
also i made portals for the map, not only ones that cover door and window ways, my portalling is similar to mp_harbor's one.
caulked everything that could be caulked.
turned boxes, poles and other similar things into detail brushes.
and so on

id be very glad if it turned out that it showed wrong time.

i tried waiting for an hour and it did only 0.7%

it says about 7 days while performing sun diffuse lighting. as i said, i use 40 some slightly obscure things called 'sun diffuse samples'. i think those are what the developers used to compile their maps so that they look so sexy <3 and exactly they slow the time down so greatly, lol.

Have you got the proper sky? The one on the radiant is just brush with textures. Harbor sky = sky/mp_harbor
and if that's not the problem, i suggest to lower your sun diffuse samples to 15 (close to original value) and slowly go higher and see what it looks like.

[megazor]

still consider me a naab? it's mp_harbor's sky! i just used the 'fit' option to it.

some time ago, a mate of mine compiled my map with 10 samples; i tested the map out, and it didnt look as nice and bright as mp_harbor - for example, the borders of the sun shadows were rather fuzzy and dirty.

Imagine you compile this and try it after 7 days and see a flaw. Gotta compile all over again xD.

Is it normal 2 say i have no clew what the fuck that is?
