[QUOTE=Guy123;52222186]So this isn't exactly a GMod contraption, but seeing as it's created for people like you guys I thought I might as well post it here. Made a small section of road as a concept for a (possibly near?) future rally map I want to create. A fast-paced road through a dense forest. Imagine gm_forestrally, but far less "holy shit these bumps are making my car do barrel rolls" and more smooth, on-road go-fast.

I need some suggestions though, mainly regarding optimization. I don't want the map to be fully open to prevent people from getting shit FPS, so what can I have behind the treeline to naturally "end" the map and block off shit behind it. I'm thinking a steep hill far behind the trees or something, somewhat like forestrally but more gradual?[/QUOTE]
Do the complete opposite and have drop-offs, as if the entire course is on a mountaintop. Not only has it not really been done, but it opens up possibilities for height differences too. Having nothing but a skybox visible if the mountainside is steep enough will help with FPS.
And remember to use area portals, if that wasn't obvious. A lot of maps lack them and it ruins fps.

Rely on hint and skip as much as you possibly can, as area portals are way more expensive for the engine to deal with. Hint and skip brushes are calculated on map compile and will increase the compile time, so don't go too crazy, but area portals are calculated real time and get costly really fast.
Any areas where you can have props fade out at a distance, do that as well, and you can use fog to a certain extent to hide the fade. This can also get costly when overdone due the all the calculations taking place finding the position of the player relative to the objects.
The other main thing about Source in particular is that it doesn't like open areas, keep the skybox as small as you can for what you need. Source seems to eat up quite a bit of performance just rendering the open area itself and whether that's due to more texture data visible on screen from more map being seen or the empty area itself somehow being a factor, I'm not sure, but it's a good rule of thumb to keep in mind.
TopHATTwaffle makes pretty good videos on the topic:
[video=youtube;wuXGASWGuRw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuXGASWGuRw[/video]
One last thing about prop fading, when the prop is fading out, it uses way more rendering power due to the prop being translucent. Most game engines don't like when objects are see through, and Source is no exception to the rule. Keep the distance between start and end fade as short as you can and not be obvious when they render in.
Spent a good deal of time working on this Cruiser Mk II. Personally, I think it turned out great.

Unrelated to WIP but to be honest that map looks really good, like, good for posing. Lovely work.

how did you accomplish those rivets?
did you use the rack props?
im gonna have to use that

Maybe a fence of some sort that runs the length of the track, kinda like a temporary plastic mesh fence that they put up during rallies, would make a good border.

I'm also doing some weird kind of "Joke-Speedbuilding" at the moment. Basically building things with stacker instead of presicion tool or PA.
Made some kind of half-arsed cinema in under half an hour.

dont worry, I will coat it with asbestos later, just so the thing doesn't burn down.
Something to note about that holo gauge, it uses toUnit kph/mph conversion, and that is not correct. Do vel:length() / 17.6 for mph

vel():length() / 10.9 for KPH aswell.

So I just need to add "/17.6" at the end of the line?
presumably you would replace the entire "A = toUnit..." line
Soooooo i tried to make a Volvo 850 wagon and failed

Has the 2.3L I5, 6 Speed tranny and hits bout 120 kph atm

Sorry to ask, but could u post what the line should looks like? I'm not familiar with those codes, only with simple functions :v:

[code]
elseif( Mode == 3 ) # speedo mph
{
# A = toUnit( "mi/h", Self:vel():length() )
A = Self:vel():length() / 17.6
}
elseif( Mode == 4 ) # speedo kmh
{
# A = toUnit( "km/h", Self:vel():length() )
A = Self:vel():length() / 10.936133
}
[/code]

I've got the V70t (basically the same but newer) in my driveway right now and with the turbo these things are fast as fuuuuuck (for a station wagon).

I could of sworn v70s had serious turbo lag, or its probably the one that I rode in that had it :V
[QUOTE=Magrathea;52241172]I could of sworn v70s had serious turbo lag, or its probably the one that I rode in that had it :V[/QUOTE]
The turbo lag is weird on it. It seems to be highly dependent on a combination of how clean your airfilter is, the amount of throttle you're giving it, and what speed you start at. Also, running high octane gas without the AC on makes a colossal difference (It's made for high octane but can run all the way down to the standard crap with significant power loss).
If your airfilter is dirty like mine was (mouse nest) until I cleaned that shit out, even with high octane gas no ac the thing basically doesn't have a turbo until about half to 2/3rds throttle on the pedal where it suddenly just fucking kicks in like crazy. With a clean filter, there seems to be a nice sweet spot (mid oct. gas as far as I've tested, I can't afford to roll high right now) at just below 2/3rds throttle where the power is nice and consistent from 0 to however fast you need to go. Also, if you're close to leaving first gear (~ mid teens) the delay isn't really there too much.
[sp]I mention AC a lot because the AC compressor on the V70 must have like lead parts. Absolutely kills engine performance and fuel economy.[/sp]
