So I'm assuming the terrain takes up the memory too ? Since the game loads up the the whole map does the terrain take up a lot of memory ? |

Since the game loads up the the whole map does the terrain take up a lot of memory ? So assuming that's the case is it possible to make a 15 km map ? But it would kinda be made from scratch ,right? We have a border region around the game mode areas currently that keep the terrain outside that area at its lowest resolution. The redlines happen far before that. But yes, the terrain does add to the memory of course.
Ok I see
Alright I was thinking if it was possible to do a "traditional" map where everything in the map is completely( or more or less) unique . But it is smaller than the current ones , since the terrain takes up memory as well , I thought the map being 25km it would take up a lot of it. Making a (slightly) smaller custom(more or less) made one means that you guys can do more stuff with it or so I thought. |

Yes, but that wouldn't cater to future plans with these large terrains. -wink-
Is it possible to test a small map and see how much you guys can do with it? |
