I know theres a 1000 model limit.

Question 1: Why????

I forgot about that model limit, pressed M today and saw I had 700 models already.... and i'm about 1/4 done with the map (lets just say its very detailed with foliage and stuff)

Please tell me theres a way to bypass this model limit? If not my map is going to look very very plain.

Ah crap- I have no idea why this posted 3 times! I pressed submit once.... (wish I could delete)

Don't worry too much about it. The model limit applies to 1000 unique models, not 1000 in total.

Eg. You could have 1000 models of foliage_grass_squareclump and 1000 of foliage_tree_pine_lg_b and it will only count it as 2 unique models.

Unfortunately when you press 'M' to get the map info it doesn't display how many unique models are in your map.

Ultimately you actually only have about 300 unique models if I recall correctly due to the MP mode automatically calling 600+ models, and when you consider some mods require an extra 20-30 models you are best keeping the model number below 300.

In response as to why there is a model limit, it simply boils down to the fact that the CoD engine is an old Quake engine and is showing it's age.

The things us mappers have to put up with...

Thanks a lot for the response. I guess I don't have to worry then :P. Always apreciate the help.
