limits

[][mmoralTwo 0]

I'm working with Stalker_Zero on a map for an upcoming mod and I had a few questions.

1. What is the map size limit in GR?

2. What would be the idea poly limit on objects placed in the map environment?

3. What is the height of a GR character (standing, kneeling, prone)?

Thanks in advanced for the help...

BEWARE: I will be stopping in regularly with more questions...

1. 400 x 400 meters is maximum size of map that u can still see on command map. U can have bigger maps.

2. Depends how u optimize the map with portals and stuff. 30k - 50k polys should be your maximum. It's the "player view of polys" that counts in game and that number should be around 15k polys max.

3. Check this topic for height of GR character.

Portals are the key.

can you do portals in an "outdoors" map? is there a way to break it up?

Hey Fellas.

YOu know or at least I hope you know about me working hard on the community mod and the showpiece of the mod will be a special map being based on the open the open source mytoan sniper.

Immoraltwo is working on it and he came across this map that he will base the perimter and some of the interior on. Its an satellite photo of an Iraqi nuclear facility. What do you think?

Looks pretty cool. Shouldn't be too hard to map a nice map out of that one.

Good news is that you won't have too much trouble making the command map. You might want to make it more blurry then this tho.

You could make 10 maps from that pic !

You could convert it to monocrome and use it as a height map, apparently
