Level/Map size - membrain - 09-05-2010
Hi there,
after playing the demo I wondered about the maximum map size. Is there a limit in any way regardless of what type of limit? I ask because i would like to do some maps on this engine (assuming some tools or plugins are released) but if the maximum map size is what I get from one loading to another I would use another engine. The maps are very nice and i like the athmosphere more than in the Dark Project series but what I intent to do would be mush bigger than any of the demo maps.
Thanks in advance

Dunno really
Float decimal precision will fail after a while and load times will become REALLY long. But there is no other upper limit.I have made tests with huge maps (a million objects) and they work.

Hi Thomas,
that sounds fine. I don't need short loading times. I'm used to wait on my system. :> So I'm glad to hear that there are no real limits except the float decimal precision. Is there any way to avoid those errors like putting more vis-portals into the map?
However, a million objects should fit my needs, I guess.
And the loadings aren't that long.membrain
