I made a map. It worked fine. When I put the timecounter into it,the FPS went down from 60 to 30. (Note: My fps is normally 60)

I tried everything I knew about fixing low fps,but it didnt work.
Can someone tell me if I can fix this? Id be very grateful :confused:

Plz tell us what u tried and post ur compilelog, maybe there is an error that makes some compilesettings not to work and then u get low fps :S

AverageFreak20/11/2006 10:22

well i null-textured the entire map then retextured the visible places again,made all jumps func_wall,searched for leaks,my compile log seems to be ok, but my fps is still screwed... :confused:

EDIT: Heres my compile log:

Have u tried to compile with rad and vis, looks like u dont use vis and then the map goes fullbright and fullbright = low fps :P

AverageFreak20/11/2006 11:50

i use vis and rad :P of course
but yah,its kinda weird that vis does its thing in 0.02 sec :E
[ Edited Mon Nov 20 2006, 11:52AM ]

Pf0llz0r mapper20/11/2006 12:33

Try using full-vis, cause it can solve some errors.

Try to play around with some vis and rad settings and see if the error is there ;)

AverageFreak20/11/2006 12:46

i use full vis,but now it seems like the problem is in my PC :P sometimes ive got low fps,sometimes I dont... :E But ive never had this problem before,so Im concerned about it.. :E

I also find it weird that vis worked only 0.02 secs on this compile log...maybe the problem is there...

Thanks for your help though :up: :)

u also shouldnt use so many wad files. try merging them toghether...

Duh!

hehe <3

Well the problem is prolly not the textures imo, just some weird problem with his computer I think, but yeah u should put them together in one wad, for example make one tdk wad instead of 9 :P
Well the vis is rly too fast but dunno the problem :S

[ Edited Tue Nov 21 2006, 08:19AM ]

insen mapper21/11/2006 12:53

instead of making all blocks func_wall make them to world(or so)

aegget mapper22/11/2006 18:28

Yeah i agree make all the wads to 1 wad
then all the advanced blocks like those with much carving and like cylinders and stuff and all the jump blocks to func_wall
null everything u dont see and make a full vis when u run

can also be wrong with a sprite or model that causes the problem... often when that happens u look at a surten direction an the fps slows down alot... but well dont know =)

if that doesnt work then i dont know =P sent the map to someone else and check if it is your computer that has the problem or if others have it to..

cheers!

wow how do you get your vis to run so fast. I´m usually 30 minutes to compile vis. In small map

acidburn19/01/2007 20:04

30 minutes is a bit long for a small map :D

I would do the thing aeggett said. But why would putting the wads in one wad solve the problem? I don't even think it has anything to do with low fps, since they all are put into the BSP if compiled in that way.

Maybe you should use visblockers.

XaSer mapper Tournament #221/01/2007 19:56

How high is the r_speed on your map ?
Btw you use too many wad files

Check your map for errror (alt+p) before running map.

AverageFreak21/01/2007 20:25

oh,the map is long gone,so is the problem.
Close here :) thanks for the help
