Walagata is a free site for hosting images, so I'm pretty sure that's why we aren't able to download the file.

darn,i remember it reading that its a file & image hosting service .
the problem is that this file is over 500kbs (865 kbs i think),which is above the file limit 4 my original site ,so i hastly made an account and uploaded it .do u know where i can upload this file?
i used 2 have an acount at angelfire but it was deleted because i was using their webspace as a file storage service (like walagata) .so do u know a place where i wont get the pk3 deleted?

I have a site on http://www.freewebs.com for my maps. The transfer rates are less than spectacular, but it's reliable.

well,i heard that its freakin slow ,but i was gonna sign up anyways until i read the license agreement (i started reading them after the angelfire accident) and found out that they dont support file storage like angelfire ,so i dont want 2 risk the pk3 being deleted

Are your guard towers structural? They seem to be taking a big chunk of your fps when I go underground. You could very easily solve that by adding some doors underground and placing some areaportals inside the doors.

nope ,they arent structural .neither is the mansion if u were wondering .i know they are taking alot of fps ,specially underground .but i cant just add doors anywhere .besides,most of the time those doors would be open so they wont do any good .i would love 2 know how 2 seal of the undergrond from the upper area

You could place vis_leafgroups in the tunnnels, and then place some other ones above ground that encase the towers and the mansion, and then have them target each other. That would provide a big boost to your fps.

i guess that would work ,but i was looking 4 an easier way .i thought structural brushes were supposed 2 block vis as u saw my map is seperated by the ground (structural) which has 5 holes 4 the underground area.so shouldnt the upper area be blocked when im underground?
it isnt in the map so i want 2 do it w/o adding vis_leafgroups (i dont know y im afraid 2 add them).but i guess i could use ur method if nothin comes up,its the best so far :wink: . could hint brushes help me here? im not very familiar with them (i know how 2 use them ,but not enough)

leafgroups are maybe one of the most simple things. you will find it easy, just do a search, 5 mins is all it will take.
