I'm pretty sure that this should be posted when ive completely finished the map, but its kinda important 2 me that the semi-complete versions of this map make an impact to interest players

This is a map of my school, I have done my best to replicate everything i can (at the cost of fast rendering & compiling). I have spent more than half a year on this map and am about half way done (after i finish i will need to clean it up a bit which will take more time).

PLEASE NOTE:
YOU MUST READ THE README IN THE INSTALLERS!!! THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON RUNING THE MAP CLEANLY!!!

I am willing to hear criticism on any parts of the map (BUT NOT ME!) or any problems that might occur (any objects that disappear as you walk around them are nothing to do with me/the way the map was created).

Compiling (merely to show the size).

#1 Yes it is right. Nightfire was never bug ridden. Some brushes are no longer visible when you look at them from some positions.
#2 Neither, I will set them right before I release the final version. I am perfectly aware of how to create maps and any details.
#3 I have env_glows and I changed the lighting compile settings because there are some areas of the map which still have no lights.

Anything else?

OK sorry i was trying to help
the disapearing brushes is not right i know what is causing this problem

[UltimateSniper]

It is not the .map file. Some compiler bugs+ nightfire bugs combine to form mappers' nightmares

the problem is you dont brush very well. You need to make sure those are valid objects in order to see well.

what did i say in my last post?

It is not the .map file.

[TKORadish]

then what file is it and I dont read topics I just skim through.

[UltimateSniper]

its the f*ing compiler or game and there is nothing i alone can do about it

[Smith]

then contact tresso on msn or gsa?

[UltimateSniper]

dude... we cant decompile the compiler or nightfire... thats the only real way we can do it... then we gota compile again

BUT... This topic is meant to be about the map, not the game/compiler

Hi,
there are tricks to remove the bugs,but to go around,is very complicated and not everyone knows it (also not the most pro).Btw i find rygaards as a relative good map,but too big for 1 person and to make in every room details would drive me crazy.The map got a future,but till i dont see the final result,it can turn in the best map or worst.Good luck!
