Sorry to open a new topic, but i searched, and could not find it.....

My question: What is the max. size of a *.map and *.bsp file??

I don't think they have a limit, but I know the vis-data is limited, some one probably knows the exact figure.

Well, to be honest.. the only limit is the size of the starting grid in SDK a total of 16384sqr Grid size.. but you'll need to use VIS to help cut the FSP down.... You are only limited by the Editor! Have fun!

NPS

Although I do agree I think you are limited to te VIS_LEAFGROUP amount.... but I think the bounds are pretty good anyhow...... I know that the engine was improved for SH so that larger maps could be designed. Basically the old Quake3 engine was developed on old GFX card technology so map sizes and VIs had to be limited..

My latest compile resulted in a 28 MB .bsp... so I guess it can be that big ( at least )

Wow that is big. The largest AA map is about 13 meg and the largest Spearhead map is about 22 meg.

Well, yes... I went a bit through the roof on that one... it was my first map and I took an ocean of water over my head

( I wonder why the standard comment to it is: "Its really good but its WAY too big"... I mean, Its not that good

)
