Does anyone know how to load object base from .$$m file? I have allot of objects im my level about 2500+ since it's a open terrain and mostly compose of trees for a flight and driving game. Problem is WMP to WMB compiler can't compile a level with so many objects. I use sivan's Mapbuilder to add the objects and it comes easy thanks allot to him.

Anyone know a similar code that i can use?

You probably want to wait for the next release (which is the actual release candidate) because it has the following change:

"The new map compiler with different memory management can now compile and light levels of theoretically unlimited size."

That could fix your problem


But basically you could also write a reader for those $$m files, as you can read about the format

It may take awhile before the new map compiler is release. I check mapbuilder's sample project that uses alternate way to add objects from a text file but a simple piece code that's bugging me. engine always tells me that 'file_exists' is undeclared identifier. the function works befor but now it keeps giving me the error on all my code. Tried reinstalling the but same problem. any idea?

hi,
I had no problem with compiling huge amount of entities, but will check it tomorrow. I'm planning to make the compiler options of MapBuilder be editable by a text file in next update.
file_exists must work, I tested it with latest release of both A7 and A8. Please use always the latest engine update! Maybe it requires in your script #include strio.c but probably not...

Thats greate. I'll look forward into that update. Still can't get file_exists to work. Must be with some of my vc++ libraries causing error. I'm going to reformat my pc anyway.
