it is not the number of maps itself, but the number of materials

I believe you're making a problem out of smg. that wouldn't be if you had known more of the issue.

HT&L wasn't coded like this to annoy you, but only because that's how the technology works. You have to send as many triangles to the card as fast as possible and with multiple textures you have to keep switching the VRAM's content killing the whole process.

This is the reason you can't use too many textures.

However there is no limit on how BIG textures you use.

What you need is to bake the textures with LW or smg. else and use huge big ones instead several little pathces.

you sure? ( altho on lowpoly ships, mat and map count should be the same, it's not like you're using procedurals or anything )

just looked into the way TS is handling materials on FS models: yes, you are right.

@Lynx: I just counted: Jutland for example, uses 20 maps in lod 1, this are 5 textures too much.

Good. I just came to the conlusion that the remapping process isn't nearly as time consuming and annoying as I thought. And the Gettysburg does already fit into thae limit. Wohoo! Have a Guiness on me!:D
