Making a big map [320*320] Question

[Reflexar]

How can it affect my map if i make it 320*320.
Its an orpg and i want to make a big world
But is it good to make it that big, will it cause lagg?





kind regards, reflexar

Maybe and the file size will be big.

 

[NaPzt3R]

I've made a lot of maps that size, and so far I haven't had any problems.

 

[Ryuu]

Use 256x256.
Make it seem like 320x320?

Scale 'em down.
Just a suggestion.

 

[Reflexar]

okay the file size isn't a problem ( its about 256 kb by default when i make a 480*480 map.

The question is if everything will work. Like will it increase lag heavely?

 

[Gwypaas]

The default isn't the problem, the problem is the extreme amount of doodads and stuff you would be required to use.

 

[Reflexar]

Okay then there will be no problem


Because i will have islands and not cover the whole map

 

[T.s.e]

Another problem will be the ridiculous amount of time it will take to get from one island to another...

 

[Reflexar]

Will it somehow corrupt my map/make me unable to play it online ?
Because i've built much on my map and i started to get worried if i might lose everything because it uses a hack


Is there someone with experience about this i REALLY need to know I'm worried like hell

Once i made a 320 x 320 map with a friend.

It was playable online and we never had any bugs in WE.

& why would it be put in if it caused bugs ?

Extra land causes absolutely no extra problems, however it can encourage others (More units, more doodads, ect)
The big problem It'll pose will be more ram needed, however connection wise it should not change unless using more units.

multiplayer maps cant be bigger than 5mb i think
bigger maps generally = more stuff = bigger size
care the map size

4mb.

Bigger maps don't necessarily mean bigger size that much. You're map should never reach the 4mb limit unless you have imports.

If you didn't know, you should optimise it as well.
