Remove campus (JB)

[Bob Ross Zombie 1512]

It's a good map, but it's so laggy and kills the server pop quickly. Until the lag is resolved, can we please remove it for the time being.

[Mr. Stone 36]

Agree I can barely get on and then when i do my csgo crashes.

I agree campus is a bit laggy

[Popsicle_Ninja 34]

It wouldnt be as bad but i think right now when the server crashes it loads campus, and it usually recrashes on campus :l

It use to work fine, idk maybe we should just ride it out until the new cpu is installed and then see if that fixes it

I ported this from CSS about a year ago when I was a complete beginner at using Hammer. I didn't realize it at the time, but looking back it was very poorly optimized to begin with and I didn't really do much to improve it really. I figured if the map never lagged back in CSS, then it shouldn't lag in GO.

 

I'll see what I can do to optimize the map for good this time after my exams end next week.

It was really poorly optimized and didn't perform great in CS:S either. Not your fault of course, like you said, but great to hear you will make another pass on it.

I'll remove it as being the default map.

[Bob Ross Zombie 1512]

Don't know much about map design but I think 2 factors are the armory (Guns piled up) or the zombie

[AzarashiMod 1]

I can't even download it on a Mac

[BananaPeelz 709]

That probably has to do with the bug which won't let you download maps bigger than 64 MB from game servers, not you being on a Mac. It's been removed for now doe

Try to remove the moving zombie or the helicopter, and run it on the dev server. That might be doing it. As far as the map size issue, we can only hope the game devs will fix it.

 

A shit-ton of brushes (a helicopter) all moving can kill a map's performance.

A lot of maps have guns piled up. The zombie or helicopter might be a factor because they are models, not brushes, and models do tend to create more strain, but two models do not create much lag. Other maps have the helicopter without being laggy.

No, the reason campus lags so much is that it's a huge open area with no area portals in which not much is func_detailed so the visleaves are probably split in horrifying ways.

If you actually want to know how maps can be optimized, read this guide.

What does that mean?

[thorgot 2420]

Read the link, it explains func_details, areaportals and visleaves.

Thanks You, Mr.Josh

Thanks You, Mr.Josh

Tried to do this but apparently the server needs to be off to change it

[Mr. Stone 36]

Well server being off for 5 seconds doesn't hurt. At lease, we got a laggy map off and made the server better.

[ElectronicDrug 7496]

Already been done

[Mr. Stone 36]

Already been done

Sweet like i said

 

Thanks You, Mr.Josh

I agree. Map is laggy as fuck and makes people leave the server. Super hard to do anything on it.

[King1Arthur 197]

I love this map so much. Hope the lag gets fixed so we can keep it.

Just add fog controller that cuts half of the map and like stops the rendering of half of the stuff

 

I dunno what it's called lul

God dammit, this map is still causing lag problems? Why didn't anyone mention this before?

I hate to say this, but it looks like I don't have any more options for this map besides using that and having the props fade away after you're a certain distance away from them. It was supposed to be my last resort because the map is heavily dependent on props and it's going to look very empty if they fade away once the player is a certain distance away from them.

 

Those wired fences are considered to be props too, so either I'll have it so that you won't be able to see them until you approach them or I substitute them with something else.

[xmen 983]

just add fog and make it sg_foggy_campus  

 

and use the fog z clip or something
