Subject: [hlcoders] Pre-Loading Maps

 

Hello HLCoders.

 

I have no idea how Source loads/renders the BSP levels. Since I assume most
(if not all)  of this is done in the engine which we don't have access to.

But is there anyway to load a BSP into "memory" so the client can switch
maps faster? 

 

I mean, if you're running on decent hardware Source maps load fast. But it
would be nice to start "preloading" maps when players near completion of the
current level.

The gameplay of my mod would help greatly from this, as maps are broken up
into multiple levels running on a master server. 

 

I guess I can't really assume what it's "preloading" as I'm not sure of what
Source is doing when it's switch to a different map.

 

Anybody have any insight? Thanks.
