Thing is, they're all lined up in corridors - meaning that the 25-model limit won't be reached at any time.
Meaning they're all buzzing and shining :)

Here (http://tc.paing.com/ourfiles/minimaps.zip) - thread from somewhere in the NS.com Customization forums... they was released a few days after 3.0f - been using them ever since :)

... what are you talking about?

I'm simply stating that models in areas that are not visable are not rendered. What is the model limit you speak of?
Title: New trail on tanith!
Post by: 2_of_8 on April 21, 2005, 08:25:13 PM
Yeah, there's a limit of how many models you can see at a time - if you have 50 phase gates in 1 room... only a portion of them would be emitting light. However, I never reach this limit while flying around, as you can see ~10 phase gates maximum at a time.

That's a lot of PGs. It would still be bright if all the lights were taken out of tanith.

Psh, maps with location names? Nub.

Real men get lost and don't ask for directions.

Well, see, that isn't a model limit. That is a dynamic light limit. I once filled marine start on the old ns_lost with 99 phase gates, and they were all rendered, however I cannot remember well enough if the glow went away... shall have to dig around for the screenshot...

Yeah... I meant dynamic light limit.
I filled the viaduct hive with phase gates once... after the bottom portion has been filled, the phase gates on top (right above the hive and extending onto the corridors) - those stopped glowing.
I'd say 30 lights or so.

Not as much free time as it took you to format that text.

They had to drop and build them.

You had to look at either the demo or screenie (maybe both) and then go ahead and reply.  It's gonna be close.  Especcially if they used sv_cheats.   :cool:
