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.

Coming along very nicely!
I can't begin to imagine how much time you've spent on this map.

I really hope this makes it (although I doubt I'll get more than like one frame per second, it looks HUGE)

These images seem to have High dynamic range (HDR) lighting, from what i can see... Are you adding this, or does Sauerbraten actually support it?? I've never seen it

its not HDR its bloom and yes sauer supports bloom by default bit of a FPS killer tho and I don't think its going to be that bad on load times

give US A BEATA!!!

Well, i love this idea, and i would like to know if this project is still alive. This is awesome! Please, could you make a beta version, only to let us walk around the city? dont worry abount unfinished areas. I only want to delight my eyes.

BTW, are you going to make a subway or something?

I didn\'t have any major problems running that map. 2-5 minutes loading time (I didn\'t pay attention; I kept reading the forums while it was loading), solid 60FPS without having to turn anything down. However, Sauer was using 1.5GB RAM all to itself, so I figured I\'d take a look at the wireframe. My FPS dropped down to 30-40 just from turning on the outline. Note that I have two 8800 Ultras in SLI - That kind of a performance hit should not be happening, and basically just isn\'t cool. I could have sworn your pyramids were actually textured a solid black. A simple pass of Optimize Geometry (In the mapop menu, can\'t miss it) dropped the ram usage down to 220MB and fixed the FPS issue. The ogz is also 171kb now instead of 2.5mb. I uploaded the result for you as it seems to give you problems loading it, let alone doing anything with it. Just remember to optimize once in awhile to keep your polycount from going out of hand, and everything will be ok :)

Anyway, I\'d love to check out this NYC map if you\'re still working on it. Even if you\'ve quit, please upload what you have - I\'d love to see it. The screenshots look amazing!

Vondo mentioned it in post #101.
On the Internet, a fleeting mention of something is grounds for immediate discussion. :P

Oh, so because you said fleeting, we could talk about fleets of battleships now?

On another note, is it just me, or are all the forum captchas today A (added to|plus) B with all single digit numbers and answers?

Something like that.
I considered mentioning the fumes from the Sharpie I just used gave me a short headache and see if anyone started talking about Sharpies, fumes, or headaches and using that as an example, but I decided not to.
Besides, your comment on his opinion gave me enough material to start this dialogue. :)
