Define 'extreme'? :-) :-)

edit: You said 60 x 40 in the other thread which is impressive for a 'proper' map. Getting close to 'EpicLawn' territory at least.

Any chance of you trying to find the limit? :twisted:

That at least lets me know 64 x 64 is still too big :)

JFYI, a barebones 64x64 map requires at least 8GB of RAM just for the heightmap (the engine converts it to floats, and also maintains an unsynced copy) so you can probably forget about loading one of those up.

Isnt a 64x64 heightmap resolution 64*64*(64*64)*4byte merely 64 MB?

The texture on the other hand is gonna get huge quick, with DDS compression it is still about 1GB (as engine decompresses tiling)

So out of lulz, i managed to compile a 96x96 map with the command line version of pymapconv, but havent tested it ingame yet :P

Edit: Spring crashed with out of memory on loading the 64x64 map :P

EpicLawn is 64 x 64 according to Springfiles? Obviously the diffuse texture is very tiled and the heightmap is totally flat.

I also have 16 gb RAM. Do you not have a 64bit OS?

I have 64bit, otherwise I couldn't even compile these maps either :)
