Compiler Sucks...

Post by Soviet » August 23rd, 2007, 11:45 pm

I've started compiling a big map w/ .bsp, vis, and lighting, it goes through bsp, gets to vis and starts doing the 0...1...2...3... thing, it does that twice, then on the third time it takes forever. It was on 2 for about an hour and its been on 3 for about 4 hours. Any idea whats wrong?

Vis, that can take awhile. Make everything detail except for brushes used with portals.

VIS is important for MP maps!

Not sure exactly what it does though to be honest, but it is important.
