Title: what is the max texture count?
Post by: Nuke on February 18, 2004, 07:57:54 pm
my brand new pirate criuser keeps crashing the game upon pressing of the commit button. ive eliminated every problem save the model itself. the thing is i accidently used 18 different textures on the ship. aside from that the only other thing i can think of that could be wrong is that i uv mapped the model in truespace 6. any ideas?

I think it was limeted to 16 textures per subobject. wich is an insainly high number in itself. HT&L works largely by doing everything in batches therfore the fewer textures you use the better.

i tracked down the problem down to too many fiing points on one of the turrets. it was the first time i used autogen to make that many turrets. it got the normals wrong but everything else worked. i just wasnt aware there was a limit to the number of points you could have. the hull of my ship only uses 8 textures, the other 10 are used on various turrets. i also noticed that the hecate uses 20 textures (which is probibly responsible for the "game slows down when something jumps in" bug)

well most of those textures are on loqwer LODs,
8 on one object isn't that bad, but the fewer the better
yeah there is a limit of four points to a turret
