Vis leafs are too excessive/can't compile properly

[Jesus]

Hi there. I'm having problems with Vis leafs (vvis) taking forever to compile/crashing (yes it does crash its not loading) and I made sure every odd brush was func_detail so is there anyway I can fix/see the problem? I also checked out Interlopers.net for a tutorial on how to do this but it didn't help. I've been able to temporarily fix the by turning the map into a prefab then starting a new map and then compiling it. Thanks to anyone who can give me a good response on this.

Just post the vmf so that someone can have a look at your mess.

First,

Do a bsp only compile of your map.

Check for leaks (load pointfile)
Then, check your portalfile. This will give you a bunch of blue lines. wherever there is cluster of them all together, that will take a while to calculate.

1) No one is going to steal it
2) If they are going to steal it, they'll just decompile it when you post it

Map > Load portal file

I'm not uploading it and giving it to friend to play with him. I am not going to release this map.

thanks to that, I've been able to see obvious brushes that I have forgot to funcdetail thank you very much.
