Lagg after make displacements.

Hello all.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>I have made a map and am having some probs.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>When I load the map it is in, I get good fps and it is all
sweet. But when I make the main ground texture bumpy with small hills and dips using
the displacement tool and load the map I get around 10-15fps. Very very laggy.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>This happens only when ever I make displacements, can anyone
help at all?<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>Thanks in advance :smile:

How many are you using? Simplest thing would be to use less or lower their resolution.

I have onbly one main displacement that I want to use, no more.

Also there are no leaks.

You didn't use a really high power did you?

And i assume that when you said there were no leaks you know that a displacement cant seal a map (or at least im pretty sure it cant) :rolleyes:

Gd luck

Yeah, displacements don't block visibility...you have to have an additional brush behind it.

Well the max size that hammer will let you create is a power 4 disp
surface, which really aint nothin. Just for kicks I tried
stringing a square of 16 of these together so it'd be like a 2⁸ size
disp surface. Well that crashed out for some unkown reason (cant
remember what the compile said), but with 8 strung together it worked
fine and even with lots of hills n stuff it still ran at 150 fps, with
the terrain being the only thing rendered. The only way i see
possilbe for such a dramatic drop is a leak.

Displacements don't block VIS, as already stated. Chances are that your problem is actually occuring because you have a leak in your map- so VIS isn't running on it- which can probably be solved by placing a brush underneath your dismapped ground and plugging it!
