LordP Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Ok I've been working on my map, nothing overly spectacular, nothing too big, I've caulked all the things that dont need to be drawn too, but my frame rate is down in the the 20's. I dont understand because on all other maps in Jedi Outcast, my framerate never drops below 60 or 70. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeoffyouhoser Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 did you make most brushes not blocking the void DETAIL ? Did you use Area Portals in doorways? Did you use triggers to spawn NPc's or do you have them in-game all from the start? these are some things that cause major problems.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIO Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 also transparancys and large open spaces can kill it too, most shaders lowerthem to, fog is a big one i would check your r_speeds to see if its your level or things in it. and make sure everything is a detail brush. o also how did you caulk the level manually? did you start off with everything caulked and then textured or did you only use autocaulk. also try your map on a diff comp sometimes its your comp displaying the fps wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I'm using JK2 Radiant MP map. I'm not sure how to check my R speeds, could you give me a hand? I beleive I've made my brushes detail brushes, RichDiesel says to select all of the ones not touching the void and press Ctrl + M to make them into detail brushes, thats what I've been doing.

VIO Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 well if you have a map with doors and such you should reserch area portals. i can't remember how to display r_speeds search the forum for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Actually, make all brushes not touching the void is wrong. You see, make a big box. Make two rooms with no way to see the bigger box, a door, and areaportal the door. Compile and play. You'll note the larger, outer box is still being drawn. Now, make the two room's brushes structural, and the outer box shouldn't be drawn. So... Any brush that touches the void and/or forms the walls, floors, and ceilings of a room should be structural.
