Hi!
I made a fun map, most like just jumping, and it lags very. It can't be because it's big, it's a quarter of the full size of the full grid in VHE. I converted fun_allinone to .map, because i was interested how it's made, etc. I saw that it's the max size in VHE. And no lag. How can it be? And how can I reduce the compile time? I made another map, It's small, it's got 8 lights in it(7 lights, 1 light_enviroment). Ok, I started compile, went eat my dinner, ~15 minutes, and when I came back, Leafthread was at 50%... and it did not move... I waited another 5 minutes, and nothing. I don't have so bad computer, so it can't be because it. I don't want to delete the lights, because i need them, there's some kind of "Forest" in it, and that must be dark!
NEED HELP!!!
Thank you!

Edit: I use Valve Hammer Editor 3.5, expert fgd, zhlt253-17.

Post compile log.

Also the lagging does not depend only on the size of the map. It depends more on the complexity of the geometry and stuff like that.

Also some maps can take hours (or days on not-so-good computers) to compile.
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

Log of my lagging map.

Well, I did not use any lights on the map, it is normal, so I think you can't get much information from it...

Well, thanks anyway.

Next time you can just copy the contents of the .log file here. It's much simpler that way. Like this:

This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity info_target @ (-391, -63, 101)
Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

First of all, you're using way too many wads. 8 is the limit. So remove the unused wads from the list (Tools->Options->Textures in Hammer).
Second of all, you have a leak.
Down Rodeo said:
Q: How do I plug a leak?

First of all, make sure you did not create any entities outside your map. An entity outside your map is just like a leak, if not worse.

If you can not find any entities outside your map:
Load the pointfile generated by the compile tools by selecting the "load pointfile" option in the Hammer menus. Then follow the red line in the viewport to the hole. DON'T delete entities quoted as causing the leak, as they are just mentioned as a reference point. DO use the grid to help avoid leaks in the first instance.


And I'm not sure about this but you may want to change your map name to something else (I'm not sure if symbols are allowed).
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

It's the name, you should change the name.

Whatever you may use the keyboard symbols, but not any unknown that can't be recognized by the system.


Enjoy, If this isn't the error, I don't know,
