Would it be possible to make lots of people in a city envioment or somthing be walking on the sidewalks and across streets without having an error or the framerate drop? any help would be nice. (like in chicago or newyork or maby like midtown madness or gta or the godfather or stuff like that)

Might be best to make most of the people static entities and then only add a few with any movement. But I fear this will look fake and insincere.

the most i got on at one time on screen without slowdown was about four or five people or maybe it was six, i tried to push my level to as far as fpsc could go and turned out pretty good.
if there's a good distance between the people then you could possibly get 10-20 on one level

Well if you have Windows XP and Vista then you could just dual boot, but just make everyone you want static

if you could cut your pedestrians down, so that instead of having all the FPSC animations (2499 frames), they only had a walk cycle, a static animation, a run cycle and a death anim,(200 frames, ish) then the entity would weigh in at a 10th of the size, so around 300kb instead of 3mb. This would probably mean you could squeeze a few more characters in at a time.

I don't want to start a "does this work?" war, but if you try out ErrantAI's little robots, you can get like 20 on the screen at once, all moving with no bugs, and I'm guessing it's because they're such small files.
