I am making a DoD:s map.

well, 10 minutes is long, but optimizing in outdoor maps is a bit harder than indoor i guess.

Yeah I know, 10 minutes is unbearable

Maybe there is something I can figure out. It makes me wonder what its like to compile a Valve made map, but I doubt they give a shit because they do have compile farms, those lucky bastards.

turn vvis off

[JeanPaul]

turn vvis off

For testing, yes. But never for a final map. Vvis is your #1 priority as its what results in a playable map or not

[Minos]

I cleaned this up a bit and reopened the thread since it was unfair to JeanPaul.

Keep it civil here guys. If you got nothing to add stay away from the thread and just don't post here. If you want to mock him do it in PMs.

[JeanPaul]

Why thank you sir.

[Buddy]

As for VVIS, without it you might get really weird shadow casting but for testing it's ok to turn it off.

I just wanted to add something to the thread for the people who are still wondering, Seldoon asked me about how to do the bridge in displacements

That one :

Thanks for your comments guys.

Well anyways, I pretty much have no idea how Valve did this...........

Well i figured out a method by myself, and i've quickly made a little walktrough of it.

here it is

And yeah, using displacements rather than brushes to make arches is pretty cool if you are using a texture with a border :

EDIT : and yeah try that with brushes :x

JP i hope you'll make really Cuuurrrvvyy maps

I think JP is the only HL mapper who knows how to make proper curves.

I will see what I can do!

Well, I like to think so
