I think vis is having trouble because of the box around the level. Now this is only for testing purpose as you said, but it still can't strip any faces and will make vis run slow as hell due to NO optimization during the csg/bsp part...

Anyway you could also post the compile log. I don't feel like changing my hammer settings <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

it's those landing seats, lots of cylinders touching each other and breaking faces. and there's darn lots of them.
reduce them. and leave 1 unit of space so they won't collide, or func_wall them

there are quite a few articles about how this VIS thing works, and I recommend trying reading them. gives lots of help when creating playable map :P

You need to make all the chairs func_wall. They won't get deleted or anything, they will be just ignored by vis. (you really have no choice, all those chairs are overkill for the compile tools <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> ) Also put the "null" texture on parts of the func_wall the player can't see for extra optimization.

Skyforger

yes it work whit out func_wall it wud take 20 h <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> whit it 4 min. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

and what is null ? FX amount 0 ?? if that alredy did it

Kouji_San

NULL is a texture from the zhlt.wad

You need to select the faces you don't want to render and put the NULL texture on those faces, this will decrease w-polies significantly, since the faces with NULL on it will get stripped from the map by the compile tools. So select the faces on the inside of your brush model of the chair and change them to NULL.

On another note, these brush based "models" would work better if they were actual models. You can even get more detail in them that way. However if you just want to turn them into func_wall, make sure you don't put them all into one big func_wall. Otherwise it will render from anywhere in the map, even trough walls.

You can test this with the developer 1 and gl_wireframe 2 commands from the console. Also make sure you start the map from the console and not trough the game menu. gl_wireframe won't work in a multiplayer server...

senx will chek
