So i presume that even after New dark 1.25 we´re still limited t use objects only around 2000 faces?

I don't think that's right. I mean, yes, it is not specific to NewDark. It applies to all Dark engine versions. BUT ... I can create over 3000 poly objects, and the dark engine can display them in editor mode, but they fail in game mode. bsp.exe will create valid file with large numbers of polys, but the dark engine (any version) does not support them. One thing to note is that the dark engine will accept higher poly AI mesh bins than it does object bins. I'm not certain why since LGS modeling for AIs never takes advantage of this, but you can get upwards of 4000 poly models with AIs if you are lucky. It really comes down to how the engine treats the specific model for rendering. Some models with high polys will be OK and others with about the same number of polys will cause the engine to puke.

Nothing wrong with bsp. It is a Dark engine issue.

Well, that's not right either. There are things wrong with bsp. Maybe lots of things, but the poly count issue isn't one of them. That is a Dark engine issue.
