Compiling time of Hammer - Developers

Hi recently i've decided to add somethings to a map and when i tried to compile it, it never finishes. It's was about 24 hjours straight compiling it and nothing was happening here's the logs : materialPath: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\materials Loading C:\Users\ZakiH\Desktop\decompiled\Nouveau dossier\rp_downtown_v4c_v2_drp_ext.vmf ConVarRef mat_reduceparticles doesn't point to an existing ConVar Could not locate 'GameData' key in d:\steam\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod\gameinfo.txt fixing up env_cubemap materials on brush sides...

Maps are oftentimes optimized by the original creator, however decompiliers aren't sofiticated enough to optimize for you, which not only undoes the optimization done by the original creators, but also makes it works. Try finding an original copy of the VMF, or make your own maps.

Thanks for the quick reply but could I try to optimize it again? [editline]28th November 2016[/editline] I just ask Shadow Zack ( the creator of the map) for the file ;)

[QUOTE=_Rash_;51441814]Thanks for the quick reply but could I try to optimize it again? [/QUOTE] Long answer yes, short answer, very much no.

[QUOTE=James xX;51441870]Long answer yes, short answer, very much no.[/QUOTE] But even if i dont have the original file would it be possible to finish the compiling?

[QUOTE=_Rash_;51442094]But even if i dont have the original file would it be possible to finish the compiling?[/QUOTE] Of course, but you will need to either simplify the map or wait for it to compile fully (probably it will take lots of time on your shitty PC). Also the problem may be in broken optimization as stated earlier, you can try to remove it but don't cry about shitty FPS then.

Maybe its because its a downtown map ;)

Thanks for your answer ill try to remove the optimization that has been made and I'll try to remke them
