I redid the caves to be 3x displacements and it really doesn't look like the map has really updated at all. It's as if no matter how many times I run and compile it or what I add to the map, it ends up with this messy one.
Another things that peculiar is that I replaced these info_overlays with reskinned streetsigns I made, I'm sure I replaced one after the other, in yet for some reason both are showing up (albeit the road signs are red ERROR message but I believe I can fix that with crowbar.)

Which "spot" you mean?

Woah, maybe that ERROR prop which I figured was entirely unrelated to the problem, was realated?

I figured "If I can't fix this big problem, I'll fix this little one". And once I fixed the little problem, it seemed to have fixed the bigger problem? Though I'll have to redo the Skycamera and sky again being it's technically a brand new map. Theres still some graphic distortions though, possibly skybox related.

I'm about to upload a long overdue updated version of this map. It's still not by my standards of perfection I wanted it (will explain on the description when I post it) but I believe I exceeded what I could do with this map and rather put it behind me.

But before I do reupload it, I have a few questions...
  • In TF2, the map is named "GREENHILL" when it loads up on the TF2 blackboard, how do I put a space between it's name?
  • How do I make an icon image for it? (Like, when you load it in GMod, instead of a grey stripey square, it can have it's own image) It be cool to add some screenshot photos on it's "on your way to" loading.
  • When I compile and run it in hammer it looks fine. When I compile and run it in CompilePalX the lighting is brighter and flickers and some of the models T-pose while the displaced brushes have these shaded rims. It is suppose to do that?

How it appears:
(Only this time the models appear to be animating properly, but the celing lighting is still flickering while the emerald light is gone. There is also some light flickering around the map.)

You're running CompilePal in fast mode. This makes the compile faster but sloppier; VVIS doesn't do any real visibility testing and VRAD produces sloppy lighting. Select one of the other modes on the far left (I would recommend "Publish" for when you're about to publish your map).

OK, so now it looks like this.

But thats OK, I remember this happening last time. (page 1 of this thread) so I think it's ready for posting.

You've compiled your map with HDR lighting only, that means that the map will appear fullbright (what you have in the latest screenshots) to anybody with HDR disabled, which won't look good. Make sure under VRAD that LDR is listed as a parameter; if it isn't, add it.

Additionally, your custom assets weren't packed.

Well... F-word.

But I thought I ticked all the right things?

(I found the parameters on VRAD to add) but if I didn't pack it correctly, how do I do it?

CompilePal can automatically pack custom assets for you. You need to add the Pack step to CompilePal by selecting "Add" in the second list from the right. You can test that assets are packed properly by putting sv_pure 2 into TF2's console before loading the map.

But didn't I already have the "Pack" step ticked before?

I figured the issue could be the dated compiler so I got the latest. In VRAD it has "Both" which does HDR and LDR for me so it looks fine when I run it.

However my map is now 317,861 KB and can't update the TF2maps page with it. My map layout is roughly the size of Harvest, why did it get chunky?

EDIT:
I ran it with "sv_pure 2" as you said (more specifically I added my own CompilePal parameter for it so it does it for me now whenever I compile) and by the looks of it, everything appears normal, so I guess the map itself is done right.

I then put in the console command "bsp_repack maps/koth_green_hill.bsp maps/koth_green_hill.bsp" in hope to repack it so it would be at a more smaller, managable size but it is still hefty with it's 317,861KB size.

I imagine the large file size is primarily due to the many, many custom assets that need to be packed.

Yeah I went to town with the custom content.

But I managed it before with A2 and way I figured should have less data to crunch on account of replacing deformed brushes and replacing func_brush made props with actual model props.

Gonna try this "Repack" thing I found and hope that will chissle off some excess.

EDIT: I released "A3fixed". It's now 89,566 KB. When I ran the map I had sv_pure 2 on and everything looked fine so it should be fine.

So the lighting was off and the contents wern't properly packed.

So I tried compiling with Compile Pal 26X given the previous compiler I used was a 25X. Hopefully this will fix the problems.

If the content is still not packed properly please let me know so I can try to fix it ASAP.
