This is rediculus :(.

[Enix]

My map currently contains 560 faces and takes 15 mins to compile...what is the problem here? :S It's just rediculus, one of my friends has a map that contains over 4000 faces and compiles in 5 mins. Mine has a few textures and a bunch of null textures on unseen faces. I don't know what the problem is, this is what my map looks like atm:

Have to double post, wouldn't let me fit the text in :S.

had to cut some of it out, there was too much text . Nothing important, just where the wads where.

 

[LaHeen]

Hey dude =o. Could it possibly be your computer? (I doubt it.. but It might be >_<)

 

[Enix]

Thats what I was thinking, but his isn't much faster then mine, I have a 1.1 ghz amd athlon. He has a 1.5 amd or so. I don't think my pc is the problem because I compiled that underground map I posted here a few weeks back in like 5 mins, it was fully textured and had 3 arenas on top of eachother. It had alot more detail then this map. Maybe I have some invalid brushing or something :S.

 

[Thamuz]

its hlrad, which is lighting, that always takes awhile either complie without Rad Or Vis on should speed up, if your testing just your brush work just do one with direct light which vis, correct me if i'm wrong

 

[Grega]

Just take the env light entity out of the map untill you finish it. With out that entity your map should be done in a flash

After map is finished and evrything is tested (if you test it) than put it in and compile 1 last time ^^

its hlrad, which is lighting, that always takes awhile either complie without Rad Or Vis on should speed up, if your testing just your brush work just do one with direct light which vis, correct me if i'm wrong

Don't take out compile tools, not even for test compiles.

Here's what i do to speed up compiles.

Apply null textures on every face you can not see, but that's not all. Set every null texture to a scale of 100. Not only will it speed up your compile, it will also boos the map's performance.

for testcompiles, you dont need parameters like -extra on rad or -full vis
thats probably why it takes so much longer
