stupid argument question about model

[zarltok]

i add somuch argument with my map partner


does custom models lag maps???

Depends on poly count.
IF you import a WoW not optimized model and place 100 of them on the map, I can assure you it will lag. The only thing that increases with small poly models is filesize, and that increases loading time and DL time, but not lag.

so if am using about 10 different models into a map but 1 of each model

will it cause lag??à

(because right now my (trigger maker partner) say's that he deleted 3-4 models/10 to reduce lag)


im sure that it wont do any difference ???
will it really change the performence during gameplay?

even if the models are higher then 250 kbs?

so if i get what u mean...

there is no way to add up lag this way?

so my parter was wrong?

If your partner says that adding a model will lag up you're map, then he is the weakest link. Good-bye

polies equal lag(mainly on the users computer system), and more models (custom ones) will take time to load since it needs to load them from the maps internal mpq so you will get a slower start up loading, and if the models are buggy they will cause lag.

well thats what i know...cyas..(555 times -_-)

 

[donut3.5]

Ingame lag = none if the polies are sane...
But yeah, DL time can get horrendous.

buggy models like my old and first dragon cause lag and computer problems since alot of the mdl data was crapping all over the place.
