Something not to try with the TE
« on: June 16, 2006, 12:56:25 PM »
On the small map I'm currently working on, I decided that an inpenatrable wall of AA around the center island that houses TT/FT would be better than high alt mountains.

Worked well, frame rates dropped a huge amount. The sky was black with AA. Took pings left and right, nothing could survive it. Then somewhere along the line the game itself errors out.

I suspect it probably reached critical mass with objects. :)
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Hitech said the limit was 50,000 bombable objects and the Object Report counts your objects if you really want to see if you exceeded the max.  Just how many did you add anyway.:lol

He means the objects that the ack guns added to the game when firing... the puffs, the tracers, etc. :)

Exactly.
