I'm curious how many times do YOU output your level? After a room or so... or do you wait till you are finished? I know I output my level way too much; probably why it's not getting finished!!!

Believe me, it's necessary. I do it everytime I need to check how a room is coming together.
Tower Bridge 2 has taken about 6 weeks so far and I have 67 different progressive .prj files and must have output the wad about 300 times approx.

The object of correct perception is ultimate reality.
The object of deceptive perception is conventional reality.

Yes! many many times!
My new level, The Buried Temple (sequel to City of Blezqi Zatsaz), has more than 40 different PRJ files by now, and its only 40% complete. I´ve output it about 200 times. Of course it´s necessary, specially if you´re working with things you´re not sure about, like new objects and baddies. You need to make sure they work OK before proceding. Also, it´s the only way to make sure your lights are working OK, as the preview mode is not vary accurate.

I output my level 10 times a day just to look or to see if everything works fine and if it looks good. I have too much prj files. I save from A to Z. Copy onto my second harddrive incase the one i'm working on crashes and start over again from A to Z...

I only ever have two .prj. But output almost every room, I usually just test objects, triggers, cameras, and baddies. Even the tr2 ones that flap there arms and run in circles around Lara.

I only ever have 3 .prj files, and only output it every 10 rooms. Otherwise it takes so long to do.
