couple questions

[Existence]

I've been mapping for like maybe 2 months now started with Radiant and moved to basics of 3ds and I needed some questions answered.

1. what is the maximum size of a map for gunz? both file size and actual like length, width height
2. what is the official maximum amount of faces or polys or verts in a gunz map?
3. what is the best way to model for gunz type maps?

nobody can help me out?

Uh thats not the problem, i simply didnt see this thread at all.

1 -> almost as big as you want, theres a death line at a certain low level (around 6k default max units, i dont remember exactly atm).
(Keep it within +/- 20k though, should be way enough space for you to make something)
2 -> Poly limit is around 25k.
3 -> ... just make em, make them open(!) and not tiny, places obstacles to hide behind etc.

thank you very much but i read from Wucas that the max poly count was around 40k o.o is this true or is it really only 25k?

[Wucas Pls]

I still say 45k heu heu heu. Halloween town alone has 33k

Well, i say 25k because when i was working on my pavilion maps 3ds max version, everytime i got over 25k polys, parts of my map would disappear.
So make of that what you want.
Besides that, 25k polys is still a hell of alot polys to work with.

Every poly you can save, is a life spared.

fml that sucks cos im at around 28k polys on my map :\

Unless you have a huge ass map i doubt you are at 28k yet.
Ofcourse you might have gone mid/high poly ... then its likely that you are at that count already.

Well it takes about 74 dashes to reach one side so id say its huge.
