Valve Hammer Editor Tutorial - Optimization Using Hint Brushes (Part 2)

[mojo9o]

God damnit I might as well mapped long ago to know better. So don't use too many visleaves? I kind of understand, but it almost destroyed the whole tutorial saying not to use too many... I wish they were considered invisible and take no time to administer vis leaf. I MEAN IF THERE'S A WALL THER, WE SHOULDN'T SEE IT ANYWAYS SO WHY SHOULD VISLEAF TAKE UP SPACE WHEN WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE SEEN THE BARRLE IN THE "SHOW POLYGON" THING?

You... are... a... god. This concept was completely impossible for me to understand the way people have been explaining it. You, on the other hand, although you ad-lib and say "um" a lot - explain it perfectly. Thank you so much.

Mod_LoadBrushModel: maps/mapa.bsp has wrong version number (571084115 should be 30)

Awesome tuts man :)

I've been meaning to find out what Hints and Skips were, as well as AreaPortals :P

I've been mapping for quite some time, but am yet to release a map. I've made three or four maps for the Insurgency Mod and a couple for CS:S (back when I first started mapping). Great tuts, I'm still quite a novice even though I've been mapping for ~2-3 years now, but I'm slowly getting better! :P

i'm having a problem with my map that i'm making i have a wall that use the combine shield effect and if i walk like two feet away this wall disappears i'm not sure if this is because there are to many visleafs or wat but iwant it to be visbile if i'm inside that room.
