vis_derived

What does the printout

vis_derived = 0

mean when performing the VIS compile?

It dose't mean manvis is used I hope...

( Just beeing paranoid about my long compile beeing in vane

)

If you look in the little description window in worldspawn it says

"vis_derived" whether or not the vis compiler derives additional vis info from the manual vis. default is 0. 0 means vis compile will be slower since manual vis data is added after auto vis data. 1 means vis is faster and lower runtime poly count, but erroneous no draw could result from incorrect manual vis data.

Thanx bdbodger for calming an old mans paranoid heart after staring WAY to long at the percentage of a ( hopefully ) final compile.

FYI:

I once made a little testmap where you can see the diff effects between vis_derived 0 and 1.

http://home.tiscali.nl/aartsm/visq4a.map

compile it once vis_dirived 0 and once 1. (both full vis. Will take a few seconds)

Next check which areas are visible from which area.

Hopes it helps understanding the matery
