How many polies can tool compile into a structure_bsp? If I had (& I do) a model that uses ~80,000 faces & 132,000 vertices; would tool successfully compile it?

Probably not, but if it does, it'll be one hell of a laggy map....

there's gonna be portals. According to the layout at the moment. The player renders (from the bsp) about 1000 - 5000 polies. + the other polygon data from weapons & other characters. Its a pillar of autumn, a10 design. So if you can run that level fine, you would be able to run this just as well. I just wanted to know if it can compile through tool, before I begin a premature error fix.

then yes, it'll go through tool but it'll take a while.

It'd take longer to export, than to go through tool.
And it'd take even longer to run radiosity.


Completely True.

time taking to export & run radiosity isnt an issue. Yet. lol
ill just leave a message on paper. For my brother to complete for me while I'm at work or something. Like telling him (after its a structure bsp file) on how to run radiosity through sapien. Since he already knows a bit on sapien. Basic knowledge, can run dev. etc. So ill get him to run the radiosity for me, whilst im gone.

For a multiplayer level don't have that much. Try to aim around 30 - 40k, should be good enough for detail. Anything higher would require alot more portaling then 30k or 40k.

For a single player level you could do to anywhere from 50k to 80k until having to do another bsp.
