what is the max number of objects in a ROTWK map?
I am working on a map and i reached 6500 objects ,but when i play it not all of them will appear in the game.Lotr wouldn't draw all of them .(some rocks and other stuff...)
I think the game will draw something like 5000 objects...but if anyone knows for sure...please tell me.
thx

Whoah If you have that manyy objects on one map, that will cause some major lag I highly suggest cutting that down a bit. I recommend never going past 2500, but you already doubled that

[seemann]

hmm...yes i know about the lag so so.But if u those who want to play have a slow ps it's not my problem.I really really really want to do a great map but i need like 10.000 objects.But i guess i cannot past the 5.000 limit.(don't worry ...most of the obj are grass & stones ecc)

However..the question remains! If enybody knows exactly please tell me!

we don't know for sure, just keep removing objects until they work.
i don't know if you have forests, but you can often remove many trees from them without making the forest ugly. if you used the Grove tool for it, then even more so, since it will often place two trees at approximately the same place, so you can delete one of them.

[seemann]

ok thanks....i think i will just try not to go above the 5000 obj limit...to be sure.I can't wayt to release this map!I did a lot of work on it and i am kind of proud.But it will still take me a lot of time to finish.I will post a link here so that anyody can dl it.

[ambershee]

The limit will be 4096, from what I can gleam.

[seemann]

ru sure about that ?...cause i am really geting close to that and the map is not half finished :(

[ambershee]

I'm not totally sure, but it would be a likely number, seeing as 4096 is the highest power of two number under the number of objects you had used before.

To be honest, you should never need to go anywhere near that object limit for a standard BfME II map.

[seemann]

thx ....but i am not doing maps for slow comps . Still wayting for an answer if anybody knows!

[Ultama]

WTF!!!
10k objects WTF DO U NEED SO MANY !!!
O.o Is it just spamming stuff...... Like 9k Catapults O.o Seriously, i use below 300.... and still make a great map..

Solinx: Three ! are enough.

[Solinx]

10k is indeed a lot. I'm quite curious as to how it looks.

Care to post a (few) screenshot(s) of your work so far?

As for the limit. Ambershee's theory sounds logical. Give it a try.

Personally I never use more than 2000 -2500 objects in one map.

Solinx: Three ! are enough, really. And try to use plain English. Thank you.

[Solinx]

Right. Seemann, if you really want to post 1k of screens, go ahead.

....verry funny .
Well...what i can tell you is that i finished building the world for the map ,....it took me a monthe to do it ,but i limited myself at just under 4000 obj (i am sad about that cause it was not in my first plan).I wanted to do am verry verry beautifull map , wi th things like....vaste flower fields and many green forest ....beautifull.It was a really bad news to see that the game ignored my objects when i reached 6000.Well...that's it .
As i said ..i will post a link here when i'll put the map on a site,as for the screenshots...i don't know how to put one here on revora.Teach me and i will do it.
About the lag questions......i told u ...the map is not for slow comps!But i am designing a sistem to make the map less laggy..and so far it's surprisingly working.I thaught it will be verry slow but it's not!

[lycan]

you should join wars of the east mapping your very good at mapping i just hope ithron aiwendil would let u in...

[The Best Guest]

[lycan]

[seemann]

wow .... nice to see ppl ask for me . But have anybody seen my work to say that i am good?I woul gladly join a team but i am not sure i am that good maper.
Just in case , if you wanna see some of my maps , try here:

I must confess thow that i am verry atracted by gaming and i often spend 10-12...even 18 hours maping(not kiding!)....but i intend to change that cause it has a huge impact on my life.Games are beautifull but unusefull...and i almost lost a year of study because of bfme and the maps i made.The last one...the one i didn't finished iet took me a month allready and it will take me at least another one ...cause i just started scripting it(it's a singleplayer campaign-tip map).I puted 4.000 objects one by one ....scaled,rotated,ecc...and in my madness i wanted to do the map with something like 10.000 objects(the game wouldn't let me - my luck!)
