Dont know why, but when I compile and test the map out, it is very choppy. Any methods of getting rid of this?

thx

Hmm not sure what you mean :?

Actually, I honestly don't have any clue :(

As in a low fps ?? - You might want to look at the portalling, and reducing polys/

dont know how to tell about fps. What is portalling, and reducing polys? is there a way for me to let u try out the map? It is very small right now.

Well look at this document (http://w1.261.telia.com/~u26123488/vis/ ... ummies.htm) it should explain about portalling. As for the poly count - although this description isn't accurate, I like to think of them as triangles (use r_showtris 1 in your console). The more poly's you have the more rendered by the game engine which takes up CPU usage lowering your fps (use fps 1 in your console).

I suspect your problem is probably a leak, since you say it is a small map. Check the compile process out put, I use a batch file, but mbuilder must do it somehow.

It must be a leak. Do you encounter fuzzy textures around, like you can't see? And things appear to be moving fuzzily?

Thx both of you for the replies.

Rox - i think you got a good definition. Fuzzy walls etc when moving around.

I will try to check out everything you all said though

thanks again
