If you have a large brush with overtiled textures then create splits in it when you first make the brush. You will get the hang of how ps2's are created if you watch them every time you texture and build something. I think that if you are applying map with a 256x256 texture then the maximum sized face you can have with no ps2's is around 20 RED units long.. Don't quote me on that, but it's around that - mad_ferrit Yeah, thanks for the tip. I've been keeping an eye on the ps2 faces ever since this thread. I'm starting to get the hang of it now.

But will also increase the normal face count, often twice or trice or fourth (not sure if these words really exist ) as much. I've also done this on my maps, but I find it stupid to create a lot of more faces, just to get rid of the addtionally added faces which are there to fixing up the faces. I don't know what the ps2 stands for, they cap holes perhaps. Or some faces need more (invisible) splits to work. I think RedFaction has to re-calculate/re-create them by doing geomod, this may need more power than normal faces. IF the map is very complex AND IF it also has a lot of ps2 faces it's not going to be good with geomod. These lags and problems vary on the levels. Sometimes they can be a problem, sometimes not. I hate it to lower the texture quality just because of the ps2 faces. In some Lego levels you can find hundrets of ps2 faces. But just because of those. If I'd scale up the floor textures I could get rid by hundrets of them, but that'd also look stupid. Did you had heavy lags when geomod was made on the city level? I didn't, cause the level isn't extremely detailed, and uses many detail brushes. ¤ MARS WARS 3! - Red Faction revamped on the unreal engine.

Let's imagine you have 2 examples of the same brush, one split with no PS2's and one large one with loads, but the number of these virtual faces is the same on each. I'd opt for the split brush every time As with everyhting in RED editor... it's a compromise that you have to make MY RF MAPS    Modified Nov 18th, 08:37am by mad_ferrit goober   Posted 18th Nov 2005 11:08am L4Y Member Post 933 / 265 Quoting REDFROG often twice or trice or fourth acually its Twice, Thrice, And Fourth. you got 2 of em For anyone reading this in 2019 or later: The RF community is alive on the Community Discord [Faction Files]     Page 2 Multiple Page Topic : 1 2
