Just a couple of things...
1. Whenever I make a big map theres alot of lag when I play it. What causes this?

2. Any tips on reducing it but keeping the maps area large?

Thanks.

1. Because FPSC can't handle big maps. Like open areas.
2. FPSC is mainly for indoor games. So if you make the map consisting on corridors etc. then it will work.

You could try a mod that improves performance.

You can always fine tune a level by using [ or ] to view all the polies in a level that are being rendered. From there, you can make some changes that make it render less.

FPSC is a bad engine when it comes to peformance and loading times.

If just these 2 issues are fixed, fpsc is fantastic.

did putting fog into it make a difference, in other engines I have used the computer would not render beyond the fogs visibility, so it would cull it, if fpsc can do that then it will work faster, though I highly doubt that it has that ability.

I read once that by placing 'invisible walls' in areas where the player will not walk cuts down on the lag. Not sure about this because I havn't tried it but I think this might help.


If you have the map built already then this may well be worth trying.

All the best of luck.

Ah, but you do!

Go into your FPSC main directory and go into the languagebank/english*/gamebank/mygame**. Find the file setuplevel.fpi. And the first block of code is where you can altar the fog.



I can not give you any relation to the numbers cause I don't use fog, but experiment yourself.

It's a boolean, if you put 1, you have Fog, put 0, and you don't......

Yes, it does, especially if you're doing outdoor areas.

And I feel like a giant noob right now, but does FPS contain invisible walls for free placement? or is it just the boundaries of the map area?

hmm...
