[EP2] int_house - A Community Map

[Preamp]

i donno if its a idea worth doing..
but couldent the person who postes the mapfile after editing include a compiled version of the map to show that the work they done is acturaly compilable to to speak ?

[Plague]

It is just natural for the person editing to at least TRY out their edits, so not really.

I would like to bring up in response to the render groups, technically we have three.
If we continue on with the sewers it was not rendered in my tests when above ground or in the vault.

And out of curiosity do you guys get lag in the map?
Because I have not had lag since you guys began this XD.

I was definitely getting lag, I have a pretty shitty machine, but most source games can run at 50fps most of the time...

So it was definitely some optimization that was missing...

[Plague]

If i get editing i'll go through some more, I am on a 2yr past prime gaming machine, so naturally Source game runs fine at their fullest.

From my last edit i still could not quite cut down on the primary house as much.
But I will look into some creative boundaries to block off more of the map from the player.

[city14]

I think that we should avoid even having more parts of the map.

Like I said before, we don't need some massive city yet, we haven't finished the rest yet. Perfect something before moving on.

Besides, that church is ridiculous... I don't like it at all...

[TicTac]

I get 30fps above ground, Plague

[Plague]

Ok, I get around 40...
We done comparing?

[Smurftyours]

No, I get around 20 fps on max with my shoddy graphics card. I get around 30-70 on well optimized maps. And plague, I wanna hit you with a bat for making all those benches physic props, your church seems to be the main point of lag in the entire map considerer that I get reasonable fps everywhere else.

It's not so simple, you can't just assume that because you lag when you're around the church, that the church is actually the problem. And the physics props aren't a big deal at all, They're resting 100% of the time and have almost no overhead, and there aren't even that many of them.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that a map being worked on by 20 people is going to be an optimization nightmare.

[Plague]

Yes i never got to making them static, but i was lazy....

Too bad this is not a community modified map where over time other helpful users could change things for the better....

Ohh wait...

Edit:
Also,
Honestly if the Church pisses you guys off soo much just fucking remove it, its not like i'm emotionally attached to it.
For crying out loud beside the texture changes all people do is cry and complain about it....

I'll tell ya what, I'll remove it my self in the next edit? Cause the Church is obviously the reason the entire map with great opportunity's to optimize is lagging soo much....

[leadphalanx]

nothing's changed, have a couple of other things to work on. I'll grab it later on.

[city14]

Lol, don't start getting all pissed off.

I just don't like the shape as is, I didn't say it had to go.

Besides, I had so many problems with cubemaps that the god rays were so bright I could barely see in there. So my opinion is swayed. Besides, who besides me was really complaining about it. Smurft was just talking about physics props inside the church, that's not the church as a whole.

DON'T GET MAD GET GLAD about making things look pretty.

Lol not getting mad, just been reading complaints since i added it in :\.

Also I have the cubemap problems also because no one will fix the god damn skybox, I have to type in mat_specular 0

[F0xHunter]

Can't somebody pimp the subway? I feel terrible for rushing it in the first place. I forgot all about the map, and before I knew it, the thread was all like 'ZOMG WHERE R F0XY. IF HE DOESENT FINISH IT IN 30 MINUTES LETS PASS THE EDITING ON'

[no00dylan]

Lol
