To rebuild or not to rebuild, that is the question

When do you rebuild your map, and when don't you? I know after I place any new Brush, but when else?

After placing items?
After placing Ammo/Weapons/Health?
After NEW PathNodes?
After changeing any Textures?
After have lunch?


Is that your final answer?

I only rebuild when 1) I'm going to test the level or, 2) I'm switching between adding & subtracting brushes. I you rebuild after every move, it'll take you forever to finish it. Do a Paths Define before you test your map if you've made pathnode changes, or after tweaking a particular node while debugging the bot network.

I rebuild every umm... well I'm usually running 2 UED's so I rebuild when I get a brain fart with one level and switch to the other UED or I want to go dinkig around online.

Thanks, but... Do I HAVE to Rebuild after:

Adding PathNodes?
Adding Items/Weapons/Ammo/Health?
Changing textures?
Adding Sound/Triggers/Start Points (etc...)

I always Rebuild before testing, but would like to skip it if I don't need to after the above actions.

We just told you that you only HAVE to rebuild before testing the level, or if you need to switch between adding & subtracting a brush, but to answer your question directly:

Adding PathNodes? No
Adding Items/Weapons/Ammo/Health? No
Changing textures? No
Adding Sound/Triggers/Start Points (etc...) No

Adding, moving, subtracting, prior to intersecting/deintersecting walls: yes but don't be doing this after every move you'll take forever to finish it.
