I've never used it and I personally wouldn't get involved in it. If the map is done right it can be compiled very quickly. For example, I think Joe compiled probuild in under a hour.

Heh, 1 hour for 1 map...

Seeing as my computer isn't that fast, I'm sure it will take much longer (it takes ~30 sec for just bsp and vis)

When Joe and I talked, vis_cluster was the key to a quick compile. I doubt his processing power is that much greater then yours.

Ah ok... (I'm sure the most time is spent on vrad anyway)

UPDATE: I've finished mapping most of it, and I've started texturing various parts, so I'll have some screenshots up soon...

EDIT: I've decided to continue work on this again; however I'm starting fresh this time.

if you dont't want to have to wait for it to compile yi would be more than likely glad to do it for you since have some powerful proccessing power.

Well, now I'm running into gmod crashes with displacements in my map (but only certain ones cause problems)

No longer working on this - I just don't have the inspiration/time to complete it

Can't blame ya, i think most everyone is about done with gmod as far as I can tell. With our group atleast.
