Damn it all!

My hammer editor crashes every time i try to compile :( It crashes exactly when it runs the second section of the VIS compiling. It starts:

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10
1...2... and crash

One and a half hour later i close hammer and try to start the sdk again:

"This tool is now unavailable" >.<!

The whole pc is working like shit and i need to restart it.





So whats the problem? Can anyone help me? I complied at last the version that you can see at the pictures above, saved it with a new name and i built in these new bunkers, just that, and it crashes.

Should i try to wait longer or something? Before i started to build these bunkers the program needed about 15 minutes to compile.

Donno whats the problem :(


All happens to me!!! Damn it xD

Wrong, some maps needs more than 1 hour to be compilated, have you closed all applications? Hammer is really greedy :lol:

OK i'll try once again and its true, to compile the beta version it needs about 15 or max 20 minutes and i compile in normal mode.


And i dont looked 4 problems... hmmm maybe a good idea :P


I'll try once at normal and once at fast, but i dont know whats different.

Thx miti, but since i changed the VIS compiling to "fast" it works :mrgreen:

The only thing i need to know now is if it give the same "results" as a normal compiling.

At least the map or the compiler arent broken :P

Lets test it a bit ;P i'll post new screens

1 bad thing, look at the FPS screened on the top. Each time you look the whole map it decrease to 25-40 fps

Changes:

-2 new bunkers
-Can you see these blue circles on the ground? Mini-jumppads :D

The trees from the inside are Prop_static and this from the outside Prop_detail (the second ones havent collisions and dont make shadows, so they should be better)

What i can try to do is change the trees from the inside to prop_detail and then build some player_clip around them, but objects will fly throug and there will be no shadow of them.

donno, mybe it can be the solution.

Not exactlly the same thing..
I don't know really the difference too but if you look at the BSP file, it's bigger when it's compilated in fast than a full compilating, also some shadows or details not appeared with fast compile

So you mean it is good for normal compiling, but not for the final version of the map right?

Need to try a version with no trees...

It's better with normal compiling of course! :)
Anyway for trees, yes you lose some fps but there is a solution that it can help you.
Use the camera icon in the tree proprieties, the object appeared in the distance that you have typed, this is valuable for all statics/dynamics :)
I mean, if you are far of the tree, the engine is not drawing the physic and you can win some fps

lol you need to try it, i had fun playing on it with a few friends. The problem is i need to optimize. I have lots of tutorials to do it (thx Roundy) but i have not much time and i'll work on it only saturdays, so we have to wait a little bit.

But i will not give up!! You can be sure ^^

I am sorry that you have no news about this map, i had no time at all to work on it (i cant spend 10-20 minutes on the map, i need enough time, like 2-3 hours, at one day i mean, it needs time)

I have had to be 100% concentrated for school, because i need to have better marks at German for example.

Just say that this is my last week i have to go to school before i have 2 weeks of holidays, so the i will have time to optimize the map that it dont lags.


Be patient mates ;) i like this map a lot and i'll dont give it up 8)


EDIT: On what i would like to work this holidays is on that map and on a HL2 Forum that for the moment will only be a Spanish comunity (if it works). Spanish Hammer 2 Editor Tutorials is not a bad idea, you never found in that lenguage ^^
