"PortalFlow Takes Forever in compile" - A Forum Thread for Counter-Strike: Source.

The portals are the areas between the vis leaves in your map. They are essentially what divide your map into sections. URL to post: -
I'm not sure what it does but it is definitely not irregular for portal flow to take a long time on a well built map. URL to post: -
It means the map is very unoptimised. Have a look at this: Clicky URL to post: -
Well nosoul, what exactly do you mean? URL to post: -
Posted by Fibbs It means the map is very unoptimised. Have a look at this: ClickyWhere exactly do i go to on the site to fix my problem?URL to post:

That site shows you all the ways to optimize.. func_detail things, use hints to split up leaves, nodraw everything unseen etc to optimize it.. All that is is an optimization guide. URL to post: -
Ok thanks i'm reading it right now. But does anyone have any idea on exactly how to fix it? URL to post: -
It's a long read but it's bloody worth it. It'll tell you everything you need to know about optimization. It may take a while but believe me, hours of compiling can be cut down to minutes. URL to post: -
But see here, idk bout half this stuff i'm only 15, lol. i don't get some of this stuff i get about 95% of it, only problems are like of "hints" and sht like that URL to post: -

So what? So are half the kids on this site...read up on it and google it if you have to...we can't redefine the whole thing in your lamage terms...what do you not understand?URL to post:

Well i don't know exactly how to fix my problem. People gave me tut's and im reading the optimization page right now, but i need to know how to fix my problem, not others also. just need to speed up my problem URL to post: -
Read up specifically on the visleafs, hints and func_detail pages, maybe areaportals. URL to post: -
Try selecting the entire map, copying everything in it, click "File" then "New", pasting the map, delete the old one, then compile it in the Command Prompt. There are tutorials around here that tell you how to compile in the Command Prompt. It's faster than compiling with the Valve Hammer Editor, trust me. URL to post: -

The reason it is compiling slow is because he has little to no optimization.URL to post:

Some young children around 8 to 21 tell me they have completely crappy computers, and they needed to give their computers a Compltely massive upgrade.Posted by DBAninefo Try selecting the entire map, copying everything in it, click "File" then "New", pasting the map, delete the old one, then compile it in the Command Prompt.

What you should do is go the the link that Fibbs posted above. Click the link on "func_details", that is the thing you should try to master right now.URL to post:

Posted by nosoulOh, I see. Optimization. I thought you wanted him to like optimize his computer. Very risky business.Posted by DBAninefo Perhaps his computer is completely crappy.

Lol i have a 2006 gateway with dual GeForce 7800 gt graphics cards, my computer has over 8 grand in it right now with other stuff, it's not my computer. so just look at the func details one eh? wait here's a link with people with the same problem, translate what they say lol (it's already english i'm saying i dont get it) http://www.halflife2.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-74237.html URL to post: -
All it says is they func detailed a cylinder and a sphere and it drastically increased compile rate. So func_detail all of your messed up brushes and it will DRASTICALLY decease compile time while increasing fps. EDIT:Also "You can try copy paste all the visible brushes into another clean new map." seemed to fix it. So it might be an invalid brush that is really confusing hammer. Like he said, copy and paste all visible bushes/entities into a new clean map and it might help or fully fix it. URL to post: -
What do you mean "visible" they are all visible? URL to post: -
Not necessarily. Sometimes when a brush gets too complex it messed up and can literally become a non-existent brush while still existing. Or just a veryyy tiny brush. It's kind of hard to explain, but just go through and take everything you need and copy/paste it into a new file. Because it's possible that there are messed up brushes like aforementioned.
