I get a lot of Private msgs. And emails asking me to help people with problems they are having with there maps, people from this forum and others, not that it matters where they are coming from, but I noticed that some of these people seem to have a similar problem. Map is way too big. Here lately I ran across someone that for weeks, or months this person was trying to figure it out, his map was about 3000’+ feet X 3000’ feet, well, guess what? This was his problem.
For you new modders, a map measuring 1800’ X 1800’ feet, that is a very big map, but it’s workable, so try keeping your maps within this limit or smaller and you should be ok.
Just thought I'd pass this on.

3000 feet is the same as 914.4 meters. if you don't have a conversion tool, do this, make it in feet, then just change it to meters and it should just recompose itself.
I said this only if it's important to you to do the conversion. You can use it (RenX) as a tool to convert. I would not bounce back and forth. I have a conversion tool. Don’t need to.

900m is way too big for a Renegade map.

You said this, but now you say this?

|
I don't understand :S
(Edit: Did you think I meant 900 Miles?  )
|
No, I said, 3000' X 3000' feet is too big, 3000 feet is too big, even in one direction, but then you or someone else asked me what 3000 feet was in Meters, so I said 914.4m. Then some one else or you said, they could remember 900meters easier like that was what they were going to build their map to be, 900 meters, so I felt I had to reiterate "that is too big”.

I get it now, I am being stupid, so, in meteric the largest map you should make would be about 250000 square meters?

Do you think 200m x 200m is to small or just right for a dm level?
|
That would be about 656.166 feet. I would call that a small map. But even a small map can be a good, fun, very playable map. It just depends on the layout of your map.
My map “The Final Conflict” measures about 1,513 feet by 1,918 feet, or 461.1624 meters X 584.6064 meters.
This to me is a very big/large map. Really getting too big. I will probably never ever do a map of this size again, Lol. Because of many reasons, of which I won’t go into here now. But the point here is that you don’t have to have a huge map to make it a good map. You don’t want it too small either. I guess a map of about 300 meters X 300 meters is what I would work with next time, but not really a square either. Use your imagination in shaping it.

I ment that it make a smaller map more enjoyable... :rolleyes:
|
Ok, but I think tunnels add to any map, no matter the size.

You must not understand the full potential of vehicles on that kind of map...
|
Whatever dude, What is it that you don't think I understand? You obviously don’t understand, read the posts and you’ll see. Some people had problems with compiling maps of this larger size. So they tried a lot of fixes and the only thing that fixed it was to cut the size down. So listen, and learn.
