Distant Detail - Optimization V14b

[Sae35™]

fixed. also, mind telling me where you got the bruh error models?

I opened the map in Open Fortress's Hammer, which overrides it to the bruh model.
I assume the model itself from there, but I could be wrong.

These are clever and cool, but wouldn't rendering overlays with transparency be more costly than just using the opaque models I assume already have LODs (and using prop fade)? I think overlays also don't get occluded behind walls, where models do?

1. when possible i use binary transparency for overlays, which is cheaper than default 8-bit transparency.
2. prop fade is on overlays too.

I think overlays also don't get occluded behind walls, where models do?

3. unless you use occluders or areaportals, models don't get occluded behind walls unless the wall is a world brush and you are in a different visportal. same with overlays
