ok for a single player level is it possible to cause less lag and split up the map into 2 bsps and when you go into the other bsp it unloads the other one like theres a top of a map and underneath is caves when your ontop of the map the underneath is unloaded then when you start going down into the caves under the map the under part loads and the top part unloads.

Ohhh... I know what your talkin' bout now. Use sparkedit. I think you can copy the load points.

Ask Kornman. He's hard to reach, but I'm sure he knows how.

I've come across this before. It can be done (odviouslyk, if its already been done it can be done again). How, I don't know. I do not think it would decrease lag or if it is possible in a Multiplayer map because when you enter another portion of a map and another player has not, what will happen to that player? How will your program keep track of where that player is (which is what it does in a MP map)? I could be wrong, but I don't think it would work.

It's a simple task, if you know how to use trigger volumes and scripts.

Make two BSPs. Make sure a couple parts have one common spot, like a long hallway that looks exactly the same, and is in the same spot. In one BSP, lay down a trigger volume and name it. In the second BSP, lay down another trigger volume with a different name.

Make a script that uses volume_test_objects, an if statement, and switch_bsp commands in a continuous script.

Make it like co-op. only when he or she spawns with you they spawn like 300 ft. from you.
