Hi! I decided to create a new thread about my map - NYC - I'm still working on. This map will probably be the largest map ever made for Sauerbraten. I will post new screenshots here. Feel free to comment.

Hi.

The project is currently halted, but I'll continue working on it when the new version of Sauerbraten is released.

Regards,
Red

This map is a work of art, but its most likely to big to be playable, am i right?

@iFlag: Yes I think you are right. I guess most Computers won't handle the map well, if they even can handle the map at all.
And even with good equipment you have to search for every single enemy.

... expect there would be a 256 player server.

I also experienced some engine-limits by mapping on a ... somehow bigger map.

This sort of map never gets played online. Look at maps like Yop, or WildWest, they were brilliant, yet they were just to big. Its going to take a newer computer just to be able to explore this map on your own.

That said, I'm really looking forward to it, once I get a new computer this year that is

I am looking at the layout of the map and it seems to have plenty of vis-blocking

I really don't thing this is going to be "that" slow unless your have crappy intel Igpu

Especially given the LOD on those buildings (low), it should actually run pretty well. PVS should also help a bit.

For example, on the screenshot of what I assume are the Twin Towers, I count 48 tris visible per tower at once (though it's probably more like double that given they're probably subdivided).

Though I'm none too hopeful this map will ever get finished...

The VIS in cube2 is based on occlusion culling on VBO blocks, and therefor can be very powerful in indoor maps, but not so good in outdoor maps.

If you for example imagine a big skyscraper with a low detail wall on the outside and very much detail in the inside and no windows to look in it from the outside.
In this constellation the low detail wall on the outside will most likely be in the same VBO as many high detail parts from the inside.
If you look at the wall from the outside the whole VBO will be drawen. That includes many details you cant see from the outside.

His last post was on 12/28/2008, exactly 6 months before your post. It seems extremely unlikely.

He's probably still computing the lightmaps? :D
