the one in the fpsc folder, ive tried running it by itself, funning it with a level loaded in fpsc, and having a test level open.

The count polygon tool I think is auto run when you run your test games. Its that yellow text on the bottom of the screen...

I wonder why Lee would use an external .exe for that when he already has "statistic(1)", a DBP command that returns the number of polygons used to render the current scene.

I do notice, though, that earlier versions of FPSC (such as V1.07) didn't have that exe in the FPS Creator folder.

Okay...I think I know what you're asking. lol.

Why does it say there is so many polygons when all I have is a wall with nothing behind it?

I asked this in another thread, and think I know why...

if this is what you're asking.

Well... what's the polycount on that gun?

Also, remember, FPSC isn't perfect, it may be rendering things other than those directly in view.

That, and the skybox's polygons, and I think even the player too, since, supposedly you are an invisible floating ball...

Just the map? Like, exclduing dynamic entities, player, etc? Only the segments and static entities? If that's what you want, why not grab the universe.dbo file from the testgame folder, load it into another program and find out the polycount from there.

Why are you wanting to know this? Out of curiosity

Oh.. I see what you're saying now.

But now, I have a question for you, why do you WANT to know the poly count of your map. It doesn't really matter because fpsc consistently unloads the polys as you go...

among other reasons i want to see the average poly count of all static things in my level, including segments. and i want to compare it to what i have been told is the poly count of the entire level that someone else made with fpsc. i also want to see how much of a difference 2d segments make. for example making the floor out of a 2d cube. 4 polys instead of 12. per tile.
has anyone tried that? my worry is things will fall through the floor.

I don't think the physics system will take kindly to flat objects such as a plane.
