Shorter ompile time?

Post by Freddy »

Hey is there a way to make it so that it takes shorter for the map to compile? It always takes a really long time on one of the Light stages. Is that just normal or can I make it go faster? I'm using Mbuilder. Thanks

Make your steps detail (key Ctrl + Shift + D). If it is just for testing use these in the compile options.

-v
-fast
-fast

There will be no shadows with fast light.

leave a gap

Post by merlin »

One thing i found out by accident is leave a little gap in your sky box and mbuilder won't compile radiosity light and that makes my maps compile faster(only for testing though!)
My candle burns at both ends it will not last the night,but oh my foes and oh my friends it gives a lovely light!

Right, it also skips the VIS compile. You should really run the VIS with:

-fast

it achieves almost the same effect with making a leak and compiling...
