well the so called offtopicness inspired me to edit emp_canyon to include a train which you can load tanks onto... i just need to compile it..
its been compiling all afternoon... i minimised hammer and now i cant maximise it... how do i make it work...
sorry, i dont know how to help. i only know how to. best bet is restart, and leave it compiling maximised overnight.
It's probably still chewing away, just give it time. As long as it's using processor power (check in the task manager) you can assume that it's still going.
Compiling on a modern desktop PC shouldn't ever reasonably take more than a few hours. If it is, then there's probably something wrong. I'd let it run overnight, but if it's not done in the morning then it's safe to assume that it won't ever be done. Are you using Zoner's batch compile GUI? Compiling is much faster with that, as you don't have to have hammer running in the background.
ah but its much more complicated to set up ( i never worked it out) can i just send one of you guys the file of xfire or summin... my parents get innoyed if i leave computers on all night and i cant get to sleep if i do as computers in my room. my xfire username is just 'supaste'
When i compiled the latest version of district without skybox, it compiled in 15 minutes. With skybox, it takes 46 minutes. The skybox is from the old version.
Of course you know the map needs to be enclosed otherwise it won't compile properly. If the map is not enclosed (any size gap/gaps to the void) it will compile a lot quicker because it skips a lot of things.
yeah i know... ill get round to compiling it at some stage.... just i tend to leave things and forget about them and move onto somthing else..
