For trainyard, it was to maintain the aestehtic of the map while also making the jump possible-   i like it as an easter-egg idea personally

I know you said the main speed (which I assume was the straight shot from base to base trough the upper middle) was OP, but I think most of it felt fine.  Rather than trying to find way to slow that path down, it'd probably be better to streamline the other routes.  You could potentially chokepoint it a bit more so it's easier to control and not as viable to speed through.  Could also remove the hole in the glass above the flag.

The paths to the 2nd flag feel like they're just intentionally made to be awkward.  Fine for experienced players, but they're going to be really clunky for new players and bots to navigate.  You could, at the very least, change the box next to the ramp to a set of stairs and maybe add a ladder to the path the barrel jump goes to.  I don't believe main objective should be behind trick jumps.

The tunnel texture did not appear to be included with the zipfi... wait, rar file?  Who are you?!

I'm not sure whats with the mist brushes up by the autococker, copied from Tini's map.  Is there a reason you want it to look like you can't pass through but you actually can?

Yeah... don't trust chatgpt.  You should only make things detail that won't have any chance of blocking line of sight.  Things like the wooden frames on the bunkers and such.  The only thing the detail flag really does is speed up vis times.  If you're using the ericw tools, it seems -nodetail actually just disables the detail flag and -omitdetail removes the detail brushes.  Since you're in BSP, though, you can just do group|omit detail to see what's detailed.  I'd suggest this:

- Select everything (~ key)
- Press the [-Det] button to remove all the details.
- Explicitly select the frame brushes and such and press [+Det] to add detail to those.

I tried compiling with -omitdetail and huge chunks of map are missing that should be blocking line of sight like the terrain, and there's even an open gap to the outside here which is probably why vis'd so poorly.

You still have a bunch of stuff visible through these walls.  You sure you don't have the detail flag on them set?  Even without hint brushes or any fancy stuff like that, these areas still shouldn't be visible.

I believe you can compile the map with -nodetail to hide all the detail brushes and make it apparent what's hidden that should be blocking vis.  Also, if you're using BSP, you can do Group | Omit detail to hide all the detail brushes and see if there's any gaps or missing walls allowing line of sight.  Sadly, I don't think there's anything like this in Trenchbroom.

I use BSP.

I originally had everything set to detail except outer edges of the map because chatgpt told me to... and then I selected all walls and checked detail box and then "remove contents". I assumed it worked because it r_speeds were down by 500-1000 in most spots. I also used hint brushes along those walls as one of my trying methods to reduce r_speeds....

I'll try compiling with -nodetail or group/omit detail to see what I'm doing wrong.

You just have to account for having limited visibility around water so you're not showing too much at any given time.

In rettrospective, having pbcup_sanctuary as a torunament map was criminal, what a boring map to play on
