Lets have a whack at it, I like to consider myself a connoisseur of HL2 SP mods. It's always a nice break from the norm and can be more enjoyable than the actual game.

Granted there is a lot more still to do, until I'm confortable with it, but its definetly a start in my opinion. Probably take me a couple more days until I get something worth trying a compile with.

Well, I have alredy func_detailed everything that isn't blocking the line of sight of players. I think my main problem is the skybox, I simply put a square one that surrounded the entire map...
My map is also based on a town in the same style as de_italy, so there was a lot of sloping roofs and plenty on non-90 degree geometry kicking about. It is also mostly multi leveled, probably screwing the VVIS up. Sigh.
I'll be having a whack at fixing it during this week. Cheers for the feedback.

During my map compiling, it will comfortable do the VBSP and VRAD quite quickly with HDR (around 30 min). However, because I didn't do the VVIS, the map runs very poorly. I have tried looking at various optimisation guides and have tried my best to optimise my map as much as possible. However as I normally do small maps I have very little experience with optimisation.
Recently, I have tried to compile fully and even after 12 hours, the VVIS was only just over 40%. Should it take this long? Is there anything anyone can suggest? Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Its really good looking, I just can't seem to play it...

Well, this map literally started on a wet weekend during the summer and is nearly complete. It doesn;t have far to go until its finished and its the first map I feel was worth posting here.
