i am near compleation of my first map and i got an error when the game tried to load after compile... i got "exceeds 1000 model assets"... how should go about fixing this?

I had a similar problem and didn't really know how to solve it. Some people tried to explain that you can have over 1000 models in your map as long as there are not 1000 different models present. So you can have over 1000 models of a specific car but not over a 1000 different car models if you know what I mean.

I tried to remove my models so that they where below 1000 but still got the error. I have given up on this map and started all over again. I hope people who know how to tackle this will respond.

the limit is 1000 unique models, but not only for the map. you have to take a lot more models into account: player characters, weapons, etc. All together have to be below 1000 model assets or you reach the engine limit and there's no way to increase it. try to use less different models and use others twice or more often.

thanks guys ... had to back track a few days of work but got it fixed....

thanks again
