Manual VIS

Manaul VIS works well with larger maps.
Basically you make some big brushes and make them VIS.
Give them targetnames and target each of them to any other VIS brush
that you don't want to render when inside the parent.
Be sure to set VIS_DERIVED in worldspawn to only use manual VIS.
On my full size map, it hadn't finished compiling after 360 hours.
I added Manual VIS and it compiled in 180 seconds.
Send me an email if you ned to know more
