.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Well, I changed some things around, got rid of a light jib caused by a long fence brush, snapped some things to the grid, and now it's compiling. It's been compiling for about 10 hours, and when I left for work it was at about 92% in the radiosity build. So we'll see how it goes when I get home. What seems new to me is that the visdata size is now only 71,000- about a fourth of what it was before. Is this because of the "-blocksize 0" command? Could you explain what this means in more detail than the advanced compiling tut says?

If you don't set a blocksize, q3map will create you nice little splits every 1024 units, usually just where you don't want 'em.

So disable blocksize using -blocksize 0, it will reduce the number of leafnodes in your map and won't affect fps.

Thx everyone, I'm killing this thread now. My next step will be to set up my VIS leafgroups and hopefully that will turn out well.

I think I understand vis and vis leafs! I read the SDK tut on that. Once I get my comp fixed, I'll apply vis into my DM map!
