I haven\'t tested on a 32bit ver of Win7/XP etc, I\'m using a laptop w/Win7 64bit Home Premium 4GB\'s ram, Turion II cpu @ 2.3Ghz, vid is an ATI HD4200.

To compile past the cap of 1.8GB I used CFF explorer, to change the exe\'s so they will use more then 2GB\'s, after opening the file on the left side it shows \'NT Headers\' and under it is file header, click it, then on the right hand side the last entry is Characteristics, click \'Click Here\' and then the check box for \'App can handle >2gb address space\' then save file. Also note I checked site to see if there was an updated version, and now cff is part of a suite of tools, and plus the creator has made a 4GB patch tool that would be geared more towards the \'average\' user. I made a screen shot of the compile I did while testing and pushing as close to the max size i could I copy/pasted the text from it for here:

Click OK to test the game. Press Escape when you want to exit test game mode. This level uses 3199MB.

The link for CFF is http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php , for the 4GB patch is http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php

If this post is inappropriate please delete and I shall not mention it again nor anything of the nature, I just seen on the forums that many have asked about it, and I have used the same method with other software when the need has risen and just thought I\'d pass on the info. As a way to give a little back to the community, being new to FPS creator I haven\'t yet had chance to learn much about scripting related things yet to pass on, or made any models for it etc.


<[Edit]>

Forgot to mention backup up all .EXE files you do this to, I zip'd the original's then the tweaked one's so I could swap back/forth easily

Hello BeTaGuRu


Great news, however before you must make sure firstly that FPSC has enough power and stability to running a level with more than 1.8 Gb with frame rate close to 60 fps, the standard value for nowadays games.

If so, congratulations will be amazing and certainly very useful for all community members using the FPSC.

Regards.

Hi everyone.

There are something wrong with this post, because this post it's not mine, the author is BeTaGuRu.

The weird thing is: BeTaGuRu's question simply was erased, so leaving just only my post.

Very weird thing happening here, because I have never seen this happen in this forum.

I do not know if anyone after posting something and then for some reason that person (the author) can remove it later.

Regards.

No,it's very simple.

The person who created the thread is new and is on "post moderation"
until he can "prove" he's not a spammer.We all go through this.

If he edits his post,it has to be approved again,that's why you don't see the first post.

@BeTaGuRu I dont feel your post needs to be deleted because new members might not know about this and its always good to have someone remind us that it can be done.

For your info this method does not work on 32bit os, well it didn't for me.
