VVIS Crash... again :(

Technology and Gaming Help and Support
#1

Ok this thing has been compiling for like 11 days… and then today I come home to find that it’s crashed. I tried to color text as it appeared in VBCT. I did a ‘final’ compile. I selected ldr and hdr in vrad options.

Looks like vvis has crashed, are you sure you don’t have any leaks? Models that are partly outside of the map can create leaks also, and this could be unrelated but it makes compile time faster, nodraw every brush surface that can’t be seen by the player (the outside of the map for example).

#3

I just read that compile log, There aren’t any leaks, But it says to see if your .bsp is writable, check if it’s read only, if it is, disable that.

#4

I don’t have any leaks and I do nodraw nearly EVERY surface that I find that won’t be viewable by the player as often as I can.

No bsp even exists in the folder.

#5

Well… That could be a problem.

#6

Well, it’s because it’s not compiling…

#7

10 days for portalflow? That’s a bit much. I’d suggest you simplify your world brushes.

Needs moar cowbell… and func_details!

#8

What the hell!
Someone needs to get optimising!

#9

I don’t know what that means! :frowning: 90% of all the brushes are func_details…

#10

The number in the brackets is the number of seconds it takes to run that phase of the compile.

Take a look at: https://optimization.interlopers.net/index.php

#11

Disable everything but world brushes and post some pics. Perhaps we could help you with optimising.

#12

And if all else fails, send one of us your VMF. :expressionless:

#13

Here’s the map:

Here’s the brushes:

I realize that there are a LOT more brushes that are required to have the game performance optimized but I was trying to significantly speed up vvis as a test… it didn’t work too well.

(skybox isn’t included for obvious reasons)

I’d give someone $50 if they’d optimize it for me and tell me briefly how they did it.

#14

You could turn those angled roofs to func_detail. They’re not blocking any visibility, so theres no need for additional visleaves up there.

And since I can’t see the ground there, I can only hope it’s on the same level with your buildings? Because if there is an open area down there with additional visleaves that would explain at least some of the overly long compile time.

And for desperate measures you could turn all the walls with windows to func_detail also.

#15

Even so, it wouldn’t explain why it didn’t compile fully.

#16

I can try to fix it, no guarrantees though.

With my uber 3.5ghz dual core and 1066mhz ram it might even take less time to compile.

#17

Alright, sent you a pm. Also, I think it goes without saying, please don’t distribute :wink:

#18

I looked at your map, tried to compile it 3 times, last time everything except displacements and the skybox was func_detail’d but it still hanged on vvis, I have no idea why.

#19

/me will take a look at it too, if you like.

#20

Yes, yes I would like. PM sent.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
