<div class="IPBDescription">New and improved lights! :d</div>those bright corners around the lights always disturbed me... I first wanted to make a light out of 5 brushes but I saw another map that had those light style without bright corners... and thought ah <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> hey I just put an additive texture there! <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> I think the other mapper (can't remember the map) did it the same way *edit* uh now I remember it was to famous eclipse! <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> *edit*... btw mapping is going along nicely but I recently got two problems...

1. w_polys in commander mode get far over 900
2. I'm running out of mapping space... those 8192 units are not enough <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

    In regard to that lagging in commander mode. I had installed the NSTR before and ran some maps, and the redraw speeds were fine, but after reinstalling and updating (format) my r_speeds were significantly slower in commander mode...   Maybe it's a bug? Maybe I/you forgot to update a driver. Either way, see how well it runs on some one else computer.

    I don't think high w_polys would be a driver issue.

    On mine, I found it worked a bit better to apply a slight blur to the glow itself, though it's easily enough removed if anyone hates it. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    I added a blur of it behind the main lights so the corners are lit a bit...

    Nice work with lights, you need more space?!, if i got it your map is enormous!!, and with that precise work for any room??, how are your compile times?, it explains your high r_speeds.
    I haven´t seen many topics about optimizing maps, but it´s an important part of the work to take care of.

    compile times are rather short... a "normal" full compile takes about 10 minutes... rad needs the most time... the r_speeds problems are in the middle of my map because there are several rooms close toghether
