Messed up vertical movement.

[GoBologna]

For some reason vertical movement is kinda screwy on my map. Let me elaborate: When I jump, for some reason I kinda float in the air for a little bit. After that, I seem to teleport to the ground. Two other things I noticed are:

1.) If I walk off an edge I can walk through the air until I jump.

2.) I can also walk right through the slopes in my displacement map until I jump.

Is this lag caused by bad optimization

That seems odd can't help you there

Are they tied to anything?

You messed with the gravity settings?

[GoBologna]

I'm not sure about any of the problems, but I doubt it has to do with gravity settings. The only other thing I can tell you is:

"Node Graph Out of Date. Rebuilding..."

can you show a pic of your map in hammer? I think it has to do something with displacements

[GoBologna]

I still have the problem even without any displacements. But I'll get a pic for ya.

EDIT: This may be a silly idea, but I think the skybox might be lagging. I'll try it out.

Alright. The problem is less frequent, but still there. And I'm not sure about the displacements.

Whats your fps when playing?

This seems to be somehow caused by performance or something similar.

(or maybe some strange brush (entity) over the world?)

[GoBologna]

How do I check? By the way, that Node Graph thing is really bugging me. Any clue what it means?

Digging around various forums comes up with a myriad of answers to this issue.
Some of which can be taken with a grain of salt... (Google is your friend)

The Node Graph is used by the AI in game to set the waypoints for bots, and will rebuild them automatically if they dont already exist. Unless you are using bots, it will have no effect on the map being played.

Possible causes per other forums...

64bit Windows ::: Adding -32bit to your TF2 execution string may fix it.

max_players set too low ::: Set your max_players to something greater than 1.

warez ::: Apparently illegal copies of Valve's games throw this error a lot. If this is the problem, the fix is obvious.

Valve Dev. Wiki says...

This is easy to get rid of. Place an NPC and an info_node into your map. Run it once. As long as you don't modify it, it'll never come back. Its simply telling you that the its building the AI's movement and interaction info. with no info_nodes it tells you every time you start up. with info_nodes and an npc it tells you once. Until you replace the files.

Which seems odd, as TF2 does not typically use NPCs. (correction, I guess the tr_ maps do)

Look into these and see if any of them help.
Otherwise, its just an annoyance, and will not affect the map at all.

The lag problem went away. I had the server set to 1 player, so that must've been the problem. Thanks!
