after a lot of testing i've found that you can only put 32 models on a given map at one time. that means houses, castles, pagodas and that ilk. total, add all your different models and it can only display 32 in combo no matter what the different ones are. this does not include trees and roads. roads are textures and trees are handled separately.

if you shld happen to put more than 32 textures on the map that also load in models, the textures will remain correct and visible but the models will NOT be loaded on any number over 32.

there is also a screenshot of the new map editor on: www.pczone.co.uk it looks like they are doing a nice job of it but hard to tell too much about it at this point. the pczone site makes you sign up before you can get to the page with the screenshot, which is annoying, but it is there. pick the menu item 'reviews'. pick shogun and then page to the icon with the screenshot. click on it and it will give you a full size shot of it.

also, our clan site is up and new maps are now being put there first, rather than on boy-co.demon.nl. the clan site is: www.takiyama.cjb.com just click on 'files' and you shld be there. there is one new map up that i posted yesterday, farmvillage-2.

enjoy,
