As far as I know, there isn't. I have never even seen any mention of it.

Really? 20 or 50? Damn, I really wanted to do a lot of interior scenes as separate levels.

that's what I seem to remember from b4 loads of threads was lost on this forums but that "was" along time ago, things might of changed or I might be confused with something else like I say not 100% sure these days of something talked about so long ago.. I personally hope the limit don't exist as even 50 is not that much tbh.



but then given how large a file is made when saving as standalone 50maps is a lot of gb's



edit,

I do remember 50 for some reason as I did plan to do 9 outside maps saving the rest for building internals like caves ect.

Yeah, it really would be! Figure if they were each at the max level size of 4GB, 50 levels would be one fifth of my hard drive! But then, interior scenes would surely be much less. I would hope it would only be limited by drive space.

I doubt there is a limit as it's just a script-based transitional system (i.e., start/end markers to call different map names) just keep in mind that currently no player data transfers to the next level (health, weapons, ammo, inventory) so it's use is still very limited in that regard. In the end it would be smart for the engine to detect shared resources across levels and allow minified compiles of each map that uses shared resources so that you don't have to tack on 500+MB per extra level included.

I just mentioned this in another thread. The subject of stats being carried over to other levels came up in the release thread and I had asked if they could not already be scripted with global variables, and Lee replied:



Quote: "@Jerry : "Can these be scripted and carried across levels/maps at this time with global variables?" What a GOOD idea! I will add to the list for the release."




So he is aware of it, at least, and if he isn't overwhelmed with what's already on his plate, perhaps we will see that soon. (soon, of course, being 2-3 months!)

I don't believe there is a limit on the number of levels you can have, at least it hasn't been mentioned to me internally that there is. If there was I doubt it would be permanent anyway.

There isn't a limit. Also, there's no reason you couldn't call the same map many times for scenes that are say inside small buildings, etc.

that's great news multi use maps are what I hoped for so that's a bonus.. as the map size is to big for just 1 small building ect.
thanks scenecommander/the next for clearing this up
