Map Causing High Ping

[Beetle]

seems fine to me so far. are you posting for success or what?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

You are running VVIS on fast mode. That leaves out the important part of the rendering optimization calculations and will result in extra rendering (framerate drop) and extra entity data being sent (network lag).

 

[Beetle]

Man, fast pretty much sucks in every way.

 

[invertMASA]

I just use it to check things, doing a full one right now, Will edit when done.

Ok so using VBCT it gives this error

WARNING: expected log file not found: C:\Users\invertMASA\Desktop\Trade Map\Trade_invert_New_F.log


But using f9 to compile it seams fine, But the error with the skybox

Ignore the error about the skybox, that's just the compiler never having been updated to know that it's perfectly fine to have different resolutions for the skybox sides. Besides, the default cubemap is junk anyway, all maps need properly built ones.

 

[invertMASA]

Would that be causing everyones ping to be high?

 

[henke37]

Nope, the error happens for all the stock skyboxes. It can be safely ignored.

Alrighty, any ideas what would be causing it?

 

[invertMASA]

Well I think im just going to start over...Will be fast than finding the problem with this one, And anyone have a good tut or hint and skip, and area portals? I found some but still dont fully get it.

Thanks for the helps guys

[invertMASA]

Ok im getting confused now, Restarted and just have the base down, so no displacments or anything, and it still causes high ping, on 2 different servers

 

[henke37]

Have you tried checking things like the netgraph and the rendering profiler?

 

[Pocket]

And you've tried running stock maps on the same server, right?

 

[invertMASA]

yeah, I have made and played around 5 maps or so, and never had this problem, And have not done anything different.
