it's not really so much as unclear in the meaning, but unclear on which one is the most reliable, since i've seen most of them fluctuate wildly from start to finish... that's why i can't really 'read' the output properly. ;) 

version 2.18, you can use options "-barpercent" or "-numpercent" to enable a more simplified progress feedback. Then there's no estimation but the percentage values are weighted to make the process look more linear.

Try it and see if you like that better. 

my upcoming version 2.19 will among other things have an AutoSave feature, i.e. vis will automatically now and then save its state to disk while it's running, both in Base/Full parts.

In case of force majeure or undesired human/divine intervention, vis can just be restarted and it will load the last saved state and continue from that point. 

That is an excellent idea. 

put her photos in a Q1 level. She'll love you. I guarantee.

Hey it worked for me! -_O 

you could make a crap level and dedicate it to your son for his birthday. 

Thanx Tyrann =)

Phait: err... no 

saw your email, thought it best to reply here so everyone can see :)

vis on necros's map is going fine, should be going for about another day i think.

heres the last line:

Full: 90.0%, Elapsed:94:06:41, Left:18:02:40, Total:112:09:21, 83% 

a lot of major vising going around now.

Progress on the RVis AutoSave feature is going very well. If only the testing weren't so extremely time-consuming ...

It's quite a new experience to be able to abort a lengthy vis at any time for doing something else for a while and then just restart at the same spot (within a minute) where it was cut off.

You can also easily first do a fast vis and then start a full vis and it will jump directly into the Full part, since the state of the Base part is already saved. New possibilities ... 

i left the house to go to work earlier at 3:30 with ~16 hours remaining on the vis.. and my stupid dad decides to turn the ocmputer off as soon as i went out, ignoring the msg i left on screen

sorry guys... will have to start it again :( 

just had a run through the map.. and it seems incomplete, there's no lighting or anything? you sure it's the right one necros? sorry for keeping this whole thing waiting :@ 

i'll do the lighting myself. don't worry. ;)

aguire, I'm REALLY interested in this vis saving feature! it sounds ingenious! that would be perfect for me! :) 

let me know how it goes. 

ok, i'm going to be doing some vising of nesp10 on my end. just to be safe. :) that way, there will be a backup. (also, going to give your vis program a field test, aguire ;)) 

Full: 66.6%, Elapsed: 13h 45m, Left: 86h 31m, Total:100h 17m, 13%

You still tryin' ChAiNeR?

It doesn't really look like i'll be able to finish this vis. I'm seriously considering just releasing as a fast vis. it'll probably be unplayable to the majority, but at least you'll be able to release the contest pak at last... 

your machine? Maybe someone else with a faster machine can help you. In that case don't forget to append the .vis file so they don't have to start all over again ...

Also, have you checked the spot in the map where RVis reaches its max leafs visible value (as seen in fast vis)? That spot is a good candidate for reducing visibility and thereby maybe shortening the fullvis time.

As a last resort settle for a fastvis, often in open maps there isn't that much difference from a fullvis (Tyrann's map became significantly better in fullvis, though).

You can always re-release it afterwards with a completed fullvis. 

I don't mind waiting another week. 

"You can always re-release it afterwards with a completed fullvis."

i think that sounds like a good option.. mine is running even slower than before... over 100h remaining and it's going up :(

i would quite like to play some of the other maps in this pack soon.. and this seemed to run alright when i tried it not-vised - it should be atleast playable. 

don't go there if you can avoid it 

Keep releases to a minimum. cyBeAr speaks the truth. 

every night. Sometimes twice a night. 

Is it true that most people can't play a q1 map when only fast vised? 

I think we know what Metl is releasing at that rate
