[Info] You are now able to make a map in 1024x4 size

Griffon2-6 · 12-19-2006, 06:42 PM

Ok, any test this yet? Argh, when I first started Taipei, guess what size it was? When I tested it in game, the map looked like a chess board. Someone told me it was impossible to make a map in 1024x4 size, so I scrapped it and restarted. Now guess what?

I don't know what to say, I mean this information comes along after I'm almost done the map. I guess I could make an air battle map between RoCAF and PLAAF. Although in theory, Taiwan's F16s and Mirage 2000s would probably be pwnz0r'd by the PLA's h4x jets. The weird thing is that Mirage 2000s would probably stand a better chance against J-10s than F-16s due to the cannons it has right now.

Does this mean map maps will get bigger in size or just the terrain more detailed?

Griffon2-6 · 12-19-2006, 06:55 PM

The maps will be bigger. I don't know if lightmaps will work well on that size though...

! QUICK ! JABAL V2.0!

Ye we have known this for some time now hehe.

We do plan at some point to be making 4km^2 maps (or bigger) at some point if there are no problems, but we still do need to fully test our concepts out

Aren't maps laggy enough as it is though?

Plus surely the action'll be spread right out?

the map data itself will stay more or less the same size. Its scale of the map has been increased from 2, to 4. Meaning that each "grid block" will be spread thurther apart (4ms to be excat) so the terrain wont be as nice, but will be much bigger. Before when you made a scale 4, or above map the textures went very wired but thanks to a good old lex, (yes there is afew good ppl in DiCE/EA) he has told us finally how to do it

but if we where to fill that entire space up with buildings and make it into a fully urban map, then yes it would crate alot of lag

OK, I'm having trouble creating a city on Taipei already, and that's around a quarter of a 1024x2. Only an insane person would fill a x4 with buidings.

Ah right cheers for that clearup Rhino, so the textures etc are stretched? Hmm anyone tested it? Doesn't it look lame?
