simple questions
 

hey! i was just wonderin if some1 could throw us a few tips on making mbuider compile a bit quicker. also i dont seem to have any sound in my map. any ideas how i go about adding it?. im coming to the end of making my first map and was wonderin once u have placed spawn points for tdm and everything is finished how u convert it all so its ready for handing out to the community. if any 1 helps me out id really appreciate it thnx!!!! :D

When testing your map you shoud use the fast option for VIS and LIGHT, but never use the fast VIS for a final map (unless it's a large outdoor map, full vis will then not improve fps much)

In worldspawn you can set:
KEY: vis_derived
VALUE: 1

You can change blocksize (mainly if it's an outdoor map), see this thread:

btw have you tested your map?, after some serious testing and when you think you done then it's time to send it. Make a xxxxx.pk3 and put the file and script in the subfolder maps/dm or if it's an obj, maps/obj. Open an existing usermade map (pk3 file) and look at the structure.

im really sorry m8 but im new to all this map making lark so im having trouble understanding you. u say i could use the fast version of vis and light but i dont understand what vis and light r exactly?. also how do u enter that key for worldspawn?. i know how to bring up the entity box but not for a worldspawn, do i just press n with nothin selected?. also u say make a pk.3 file but hows that done , do u use a specific program for that. sorry to be such a newbie. plz help i could really do with it. thnx for ure replie so far i really appreciate it!
