how many MB's RAM do you have?

When FPSC develops enough, lets make a Redwall game!

Do you mean when testing the level, building the level - or loading it from the .exe file?

TBH - I think sometimes its just slow

If your level is too big or there is much lightbulbs or entities loading times are really looooong...

2 Gb ram? I think I have only 1, and it isn't that slow. Heck, have you looked at loading times for Doom 3? Those are when you can say they are long! I'd rather have slow loading times than lowsy games -wouldn't you?

uhuh...

How big are your maps?

Any real map takes more time then 10 seconds, but small insignifigants take longer.

Loading times depend on how big level is, how many entities, how much lightning, etc.
I think your levels are really small Skalex!
I have 1,5 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9550 256MB and 3.06GHz CPU and still loading times are many minutes long!

I think a big factor in the load time is the size of the character model files. Each one is nearly 3mb in size, so that can add up very quickly if each one needs loaded into RAM.

And the animations are to blame for the large file size. Every character in FPSC contains ALL the animations used in FPSC. In other words, if your character is set up to hold a pistol, it also contains the animations for the bazooka, grenade, unarmed, sniper, and rifle type characters, even though they won't be used. That's a big waste IMO.

I might re-export each character and strip out all the animations that won't be specifically used for its weapon type. Just a guess, but I bet load times drop dramtically.

In the testing I've done I think characters may also be responsible for some of the frame-rate problems people are having.

I've tried entities with simple animations, and you seem to be able to put a lot more in a room before the frame-rate slows down significantly.

instinct is more valuable than intelligence.....

The lightmapping is a one-time calculation that is done when the game is built. We're talking about the delay when loading a compiled game.
