i have a problem with my MAP file. my old map was 135 MB mapviewer crashed always but in krp it worked all fine. Now i copied all my 3d objects so i used Shad prefix on 3d objects and that second i called WLLCONCINVISIBLE  i also have done in that 135 MB map and all worked fine very good FPS. Now i have done with all objects Map 145 MB and Mapviewer still crash but now also KRP don`t work -.- i tested new trp but old map and all work. so the Problem Must be in MAP file. someone an idea?

Maybe multiple objects with the same name?

WTF i send now to 2 guys because i can`t believe that i`m so stupid and can do something wrong at MAP export. for both it work. That mean that i have the same problem now like other guys with roskilde and new la conca. i have another track it is 250 MB that don`t work too. My track worked with map filesize to 135 Mb more = crash -.-

That`s uncool

But now we know the problem maybe. But how is that possible that it work for some guys and for some not?

i think my system:

AMD Quad Core @ 3 GHZ
8Gb Ram
ATI Radeon HD 6950 2048 MB
Win 7 64 Bit

Isn`t so shit.

So after 5 tries every time waited 5- 10 mins all work now-.- i don`t understand but all work. SRY

YOu mateirals are gone from the scene too?  If you use the eye  drooper in the material screen and pick a object it will go back into the screen

[Schwoni]

Another question now i have very much Polygons and now i can`t export the map file. What is the limit of max Polygons? i have had all closed now only 3ds was at exporting 3 hours and nothing it only do nothing create shadowmaps and after that nothing, ending log don`t appear.

Task manager show cpu 0% use 3ds so it really do nothing but why? with a bit lesser polys it work with so much ( 3 million ) not ^^

[robby]

I think 3milian polys is a bid overkil lol thad elektrik pylon is hi poly and i think it looks awsome bad the game is gona suffer at the place the pylon is wen you kan export it we wil figer out wat to do later on i think its best to redo the pylon wit a lot les polys.
I wil help you with it you model and i tel you wat to do haha
Hope to katch you tonicht on msn had a bal yesterday and i was tired wen the alarm went of this morning haha

[Schwoni]

HAHA i too now i deleted all power masts and lines. so i`m now almost like beta 1 or 2^^ now i can export but he say: warning extensions corrected -.- But what`s wrong if he say this? i have never had. What does it mean?

[maxrod]

If you want less polygons you can use Optimize modifier.

[EVO]

yup that works good for dashes which should be under 500 verts
