Exactly dude! It's not the theory that I'm (and probably more people are) not getting or stuff like that: it is the way it should be worked out in practice...

This, for instance, is a nice, mapper-friendly tutorial on area portal use:

Anyways, I will look at my map for (weird) structural brushes... try whatever I can.

Still... most of the info is there, but no one really has put all these pieces together: area portals, vis brushes (the targeting vis/leafnode thingies), hint brushes: when should a mapper use these things? And how? How do you people get your short compile times? Maybe post some example .map files wich give clearer insight into this?
