About compilation

[strider]

Well, i'm worried about the compilation time...I share this computer with my brother, and i can't let the map compiling for much time.

There is some way to pause the compilation process?

[grieve[Q2C]]

no, I don't think it is possible to pause the build tools.

of course you don't need to run them all at once in a row. you can let qbsp create the bsp file and run qvis later, and make the light compile some other day.

for qvis would also apply that there is something wrong with your map when it takes days to vis it.

this is avoidable, and you may study some tutorials about vis-blocking techniques first. it is possible to reduce vis-times to a high extent.

Use of detail brushes and func_walls really speeds up build time.

/me throws a large detailed func wall brush at t3h fi3nd to see if it is able to catch.

/me watches the brush slip thru his few fingers then curses m in frustration
