COmpiling Question

[Tyguy]

When compiling my map, it takes a good 5-7 minutes...its isnt extremely big but its not too small. I have enclosed it with a skybox....is this a normal time for a compile?

Don't just put a box around your map, seal it off with 'skybox' textured brushes. And 5-7 mins is pretty well on the low end for fast low detail compiles.

It really depends. I can't do a FAST VRAD run in less than 11 minutes. My FAST VVIS is 34 seconds, but a full VVIS is somewhere around 15 hours.

If you are ignoring warnings and errors in your compile log, then yes--that is probably too long for your map. Warnigns and erros can result in bloated, slow and long to compile maps.
