ppl who complain about framerate loss can get me annoyed, cause usually they are playing with all their gfx options on max. they slag off maps even though its their own fault.
this sounds harsh but it's true and im sick of people saying bad stuff about good maps becaue they want the best resolution and graphics on their TNT2.
the map maker can help a little by not adding too many round objects or ones with smooth edges that are made up of a lot of polies.
adding fog can reduce the draw distance so ur card has to render less.
using less textures helps also. usually that is what tips your gfx card over the edge IMO. get ur texture settign on minimum and u'll be ok. the game will look bad but who really cares what the walls look like or how nice the enemy lok in their uniforms when ur getting shot at?!
personally i dont bother thinking about item count. i dont want to be restricted. go with the flow, do what you want. its easy to make a cut down version l8r and gamers will appreciate the choice.
i have a GeForce4 Ti4200 and still play on minimum settings cause i want to play smooth and @ 150 FPS muhahaha.
a high item count is 1024 items but it depend how u set it up. if u have 512 on on side of a hill and 512 on another then there would be no problem because u can only possibly ever see 512 items at one time ( unless u were cheating ).
