Hello all,
Finally decided to make a map of my own. Epicly late, but hey, thats hardly the point.
The map will be a mission map and not a multiplayer map.
Now, I have made other small maps to test things out, and I never encountered the following problem.
I created a basic stage 1 map in gmax. The map is kinda large though ( over 2000 m x 1000 m ) ( see picture below)
Now I wanted to test if it wasnt to big ( large) in leveledit.
So I import the map in to leveledit, it seems to load fine, but when i start looking around with the numpad keys, i get constant errors. Level Edit crashes to desktop.
Does anyone have an idea why this is?
I was gonna look around in the other posts, but let's face it, 273 pages with an average 20 threads on each page, is just too much to look in to, so I ask the question directly.
Im not entirely new to modding/map making,been creating maps since 1998, only new to renegade map making.
So i really hope someone can point me in the right direction.
If more information is required, pls let me know.
Thanks for reading.
Looking forward for any reply.
Regards
Repair.

The W3D engine can handle tonnes of polygons, but a single mesh cannot have too many.

break the map up in separate parts so le wont have to load so many polys for one mesh.

did u try the walk threw mode ? (F8)
and a computer that can't handle such large objects. Was gonna break it up in separate objects afterwards to add more detail, but since it was a test, couldnt be bothered.
