I sent you an e-mail with your two building models changed a bit...
I recreated your texture files and made them .dds files...
That reduced the file size significantly...
And I set the Material colors so they should look better under lighting...
None-the-less, I see no reason for them hurting your frame rate...
Maybe I need to see the whole project...
Then I could let you know what the frick is going on...

ok..i used to optimized models and no change. when i am facing straight, the framerate is about 24 fps, but when i turn right or left and walk closely to the wall the framerate jumps up to 60-64 fps.

Blink,
I'll tell you what I did... That changed the color at night...
If you open the model in MED and go into the skin settings dialog...
"Edit" / "Manage Skins"
Highlight the skin that you wan to revise...
Click on "Skin Settings"
You will see that I enabled the "Material Set Up" toggle... of each skin...
If you click on the "Diffuse" & Ambiient" buttons, you will see that I changed the colors from pure white to two different greys...
I suggest that you play with these settings and run the project to see what happens...
These two settings really help with realism of shadows and color depth...
If you want it back to the way you had it... simply turn off the "Material Setup" toggle button...

Also... under map properties in WED, I wonder what color you have the sun and fog colors????

I will download the project, right now, from the link you provided...
I will get back to you very soon with comments...

Hey...
You sent me a .cd folder...
For me to really get into this I'll need a couple more files...
Ill need the motel66off.wmp so I can open this in WED and I'll need a real copy of the main code... motel66off.wdl
The reason that I need the main code file is that when you make a .cd folder, the main .wdl is not editable...

I ran the game...
Quite a few things look good but the level and models are very black...
Is it supposed to be that way...???
I like your front door... the translucent glass looks great...

Ok...
First of all...
These are only suggestions but please don't get me wrong...
If you make these changes, in the long run your work will be easier to port up to A7 or A8 and you won't have so much work to do to maintain a great frame rate..
Ok...
I reviewed a number of your models...
They look real nice but you should reduce the file size the way that I did forr your buildings...
Recreate the textures to .dds files unless they have to be translucent...

Next... a real frame rate killer is using textures that are not a power of two... A lot of your models skins are not that way... make their pixel dimension 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 etc...
Example... The coolerbt.mdl is over 5 meg... not nessesary... and the skin is 839 x 1290 x 24
I revised the model and e-mailed it to you... So... you can see what can be done... If this concept is done to all models and skins the game will run really fast and the file download size will be significantly smaller...
I am about to take a look at your .wmp via WED...
I'll be here...
