Thanks man I got it fixed : -)!

Also my portfolio got a rework check it out http://www.maxforsberg.se : -)

Make sure that the content/body of each page has the correct information which you wish to convey. I think all but one of the pages I visited had at least one paragraph or section which looks like it belongs on the page for your CS:GO level. I'm guessing you're using one page as a 'template' and then copying/modifying it when you add a new project to your portfolio? Nothing wrong with this, but if you haven't written the content for each different project and the pages are not complete, then make them inaccessible until they are complete, as noted above.

I will updatethe texts tomorrow to adress the issue : -)! Thanks for checking out my portfolio and leaving feedback!

Consider lowering the quality of your images since they take a very long time to load : -)

1 hour ago, ng.aniki said: I really like your video about the counter-strike map, really interesting to know more about your process. It's a very good point in my opinion.

About your Work In Progress: -If there is no content at all, remove the whole picture from your portfolio, or make it hidden to the visitor. -If there is content, either remove it completely if you are not satisfied by the quality, or replace the big black picture by a nice one. No one should see those pictures: No one will come regularly on your portfolio to see if you added something for those black vignettes.

Thanks man : -D! Going to fix this right now!

Heya I am going to be applying for internship within a months time and I need to make sure my portfolio will stand the test! : -)!

Don´t hold back, if anything annoys you tell me : -) It is a work in progress but I feel as if feedback won´t hurt!

Quote from Vaya

Feedback from last nights reddit playtest. The map has potential but the layout is a bit like an overdesigned dust2 and needs much work.

• Yellow - Start off simple - you have 3 squeaky doors! that's way too many for most maps. I would keep the alley one- I quite like this area for some reason, it feels unique- and rework the other 2 chokes (more on that below)
• Red - Middle is a mess. There's so many mini angles and spots that can be played that makes it horrible to hold for CTs. The window at purple creates lots of off angles and is not fun to play around. The blue container jump at CT side should be removed completely as it just makes another spot to play. I would be looking to removing the current design of middle and simplifying massively- no window and no blue container selfboost.
• Brown - A site needs a rework in term of space. I'd remove the fork like and make the site larger. It's too tight in places and is too small overall
• Orange - The entrances to B are too parallel and boring. I would suggest moving the site slightly inwards and have the outside path coming in from another angle (maybe from the left?). Reworking the upper squeaky into something more fun to play would help dramatically.
• reduce the amount of props at the bombsites/in general. People in my lobby we complaining about performance hits.

I guess the crux of the issue is that you're still doing a bit too much of everything when you could do better with less.

its looking better every time you post it. I've provide more specific feedback of what I think you should change soon

Small steps : -)! Looking forward to the feedback yo

Gonna follow this for sure : -)!

Quote from El_Exodus

I heavily suggest you to read will2k's optimization paper which Squad linked in the other thread. I just had a short walk around your map and used r_drawfuncdetail 0. It really looks like you func_detailed brushes without really knowing when you should do that and when not. A lot vis blocking brushes were set to func_detail and a lot which should be, weren't. Optimization is still mediocre on your map. Usually i get 240fps+ on fully detailed maps (using fps_max 241) and on your map i have only 120fps very often. There is plenty to do

I agree : -)! Optimization is a new field for me and I am leaning new cool things, I am getting through will2ks documentation piece by piece

Quote from Logic

You should write it in the post

Sorry forgot! Will do it right now : -)!

Done! Thanks for reminding me : -)!

Another one (patch that is)

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=600728667

Patch notes:

• Deathmatch spawnpoints that were reported to put players inside of things are fixed
• Func_detailed to the cap that Hammer allows
• Optimized the level a bit but it will continue to be optimized (Looking into how Aztec was optimized which gave me a lot of ideas), I personally went from 19 FPS in some areas to 120+ constant
• Improved the Aqueducts graphics and personality

Quote from Bodd Jonar

You can search for "log" in your csgo folder, after a compile, the latest compile log will be at the top. In the log, simply search for "numportal" and see what number it says. I started out with something like 17k which is way to much, got it down to around 2900 after hours of func detailing.

Func_detailing is the way to go!

Quote from biXen

Simple debugging really, create a temporary file where you delete 20 things, recompile and check. Delete 20 more things, recompile and check. If it suddenly works, take back the last 20 things and delete 5 of them, recompile and check etc. until you get to the one thing that's causing the problem.

Usually results in finding the problem. Unless you've really screwed up something

But make all details func_detail the sooner the better, it's insane how much time is wasted in the compile until you do.

Func_detailing the hell out of my level when I come home B -)!

Quote from Vaya

I think this enforces the point I was making before about you having too much going on. you could probably improve the feel (and optimisation) of the map by simplifying areas and having less brushwork/props.

Will cut down on brushwork as much as possible : -)!

Quote from Squad

I stronly recommend to read @will2k's Man vs Engine. It covers func_detailing, as well as areaportals, occluders and more.

Basically, when you check off all visgroups except for world brushes, you should be left with basic square rooms preferably.

Here's an example of HL2 with everything disabled but world brushes. It's not the world's best example, since they forgot to func_detail some brushes, but you can see it gets rather empty when disabling func_details

If you're done optimizing your map, there should be a good chance the leak issue will be solved automatically, as @El_Exodus already mentioned.

Thank you so much for the help : -)! I am for ever in debt to this community!

I have never learnt what to keep as brushes and what to make into func details but I assume I should go a bit more crazy with my func_detailing?

Quote from 3Dnj

Don't test leaves performances with Vvis in fast, you need a full compile to check if they are working well. Because fast don't calculate visibility between leaves.

also this kind of error can happen when your leaves are damn too complicated, something like this :

Also 90% brushes, that's a huge map !!

(The Aqueduct is made out of a lot of brushes hehe)

Quote from Squad

Can you post the compile log? Also, are you using (horizontal) areaportals in your map?

I will post it right now : -) and I tried without areaportals problem remains (no Idea if they are horizontal or not(?))
