So I'm just wondering what the limit with the latest version of opensauce is for a single player map as I've been working too 32k but I'm wondering if I can go higher as I have some bsps that would be nice with the higher limits.

I dont have os but i understood that the limit is double that (talking in rendering), theres not a clear limit, becuase its suposed to render for 32k, but it can be higher. Use portals to make your map more optimzed (sorry for my bad english)

32k. Going higher would be nice but would take far more work than it took to go from 16k -> 32k.

I once had a 52k triangle bsp, I made only 16k of them collidable though.

OK thanks guys looks like im going to have stick to that for my Campaign.

did you say... my campaign?

pics : 3

When I get back from the lakedisrict BTW it's set on harvest.

You can have more than 32k, the issue is you can only render 32k at once. So you have to use portals so triangles not on screen will not be rendered.

just some pics of the most complete bsp.





As you can see its a wip the others are rough bsps in max or blender.

Absolute Absolute max for polies is between 50 and 60k standard (so I can imagine that OpenSauce is going to allow 100 - 120k polies), and absolute max size is a box that is 250,000 x 250,000 x 250,000 3ds max units. So if your map fits inside of the box completely, you're good.

thx ;)

What, that many polies for that thing? Please use multires or optimize modifier, that could be an easy 10-20k while staying the same shape.

If you don't you will have so many phantom-bsps that they will eventually block you from entering your actual real life house.

It is just over 24k

And that is only a fraction of the map.

If you pass 250,000 units it doesnt render? That resolves my space BSP issues

The reason i was asking is for a later bsp which spans a city.

BSP of the level shown above.

Hang on wasnt that the mesh which I fixed for you?

Yes and thank you for your assistance. P's it has your name at the top still.

Why? Does render-only geometry not count towards the 32k OS limit for rendered triangles or whut?

Please do not. Both of those modifiers are absolutely terrible for getting anything done. Lower the polycount manually or make liberal use of the collapse tool instead.

TSC:E textures

Yes but some are place holders.

Or you could just listen to me and live without jagged regrets.

Miasma had 49K Poligons, no one had an issue in HMU playing it. SBB also played it and no issues. It didn't had portals or anything, just saying it ran great with HAC2.

Having messed around with the bsp earlier I can tell you that something as simple as what you have so far doesn't warrant more than 20k polies.

But it is your project and you are free to do as you please.

It is more for the later bsps more importantly a hole city.

Ah in that case I don't think you should encounter too many bsp density limit errors, and even if you do come across the splitting your bsp's up into campaign triggers would be the most beneficial workflow to adopt.

Having said all that I did once successfully get a moderately high res blood gulch model in game for MP:







With better portals it is possible to bump up the count to say 45k tris using vanilla halo modding tools but beyond that the collision will far exceed what tool can calculate.
