52 km islands - memory error

[fogw]

Hi!

My island is 37 km ( used the 1024 option ),. When i exit OFP MP session where i preview my island, OFP crashes to desktop giving me an Memory error... ( to little it seems.. i got 1024 MB ).

Is there a setting in e.g the config i could set to prevent this ?

37 or 52?

I would strongly recommend that you lower your view detail setting to very_low prior to loading your island, and seeing if you can then load it. Also try loading it with a minimum of addons and other stuff.

If it works, start adding things back in, and slowly try ramping the viewdetail up. Remember that a 52km map is already equivelent to a 'normal' view detail.

If it doesn't work, try cranking up your memory window in the flashpoint preferences app and also lowering some of the detail stuff.

Problem solved.. probably got the error due to some erronious setup in OFP.. now I have added two bases, some roads, and over 1000 objects ( houses, rocks, bushes etc.. ), and my IIsland works great!..

Only problem now is the SetViewDistance trigger, which i do not understand how to set ore use ? ( would like to increase the overall VIS from 900 to e.g 1800 meters.. )

Also need to find a good tutorial rgd mission creation. , and eventually a video creation tutorial, and music...

any ideas where too look ?

Ofpec has all the scripting crack you can handle.

Also get the ecp pack, if you haven't already. Having a ingame scripting console is wonderful.

Make another OFP shortcut, and add these options:

-window
-x=800
-y=600

That will give you OFP in a 800x600 window. It's wonderful for scripting work so that you can have OFP and the comref open and visible at the same time.

Thanx for the tip!. will surely try that when I am ready for it!. Have been a OFP owner since it was released, just now recently reinstalled an began modding on my own. Corrently waiting for my VBS1... looking forward to it! .
