bsp models size question.

[ceriux]

when loading an external bsp (like the explode boxes) is there a size limit of the bsp? or does the size not matter at all. are there any limitations i have to be aware of? i use darkplaces.

I haven't noticed anything in the renderer that makes a distinction between the world bsp and other bsp models for any limitations. While its usefulness is debatable*, there's no reason I know of you shouldn't be able to load a second map as a non-world bsp model.

* I can think of some, but that would require specially crafted maps to make it worth while.

I already tested to load an entire level (E1M3) inside another map (a simple box large enough to fit the loaded map) as a bsp model (in FitzQuake IIRC). No complaints from the engine side.

[ceriux]

nice, but how does collison work. like normal bsp? or is more like the models like the player? id like to load a couple of kind of large structures (damagable) as objectives. not as large as a whole map. will lighting still work properly with them?

you need to use movetype_push to push/carry other ents. this requires using velocity/avelocity to do the actual moving. which kinda sucks.
