Spring RTS Engine

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?

64x64 failed, 60x40 succeeded, thats all i know for now

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

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

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

EpicLawn crashes for me as well

Works fine for me on 104.0

103.0 and 104.1-104 and up all crash for me with failed to allocate memory (have 16gb)

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 :)
