DrK having it splitted isn't much a problem, especially if you're changed the storyline and dialogues already.
I hope It's really possible to create a bigger FM now, but I still have some fake feeling about that idea :sweat:
I don't trust the new possibilities of 1.22 (since there might be other problems, maybe even more major)...

I made a test map with 32752 WR-cells (this is very close to the limit)

Optimization is fine in Newdark 1.22 (it doesn't optimize in 1.21; especially the limit of unique render aspects are exceeded-->I get the warning ERROR: INCREASE MAX_GLOBAL_RENDER )

Yay! Now we can globally render more things!

That's good news! Though I wish there was a fix for these impossible to find geometry errors that prevent optimization. Something great that's with other compilers is that they tell you which brushes are incorrect. Monolog doesn't, so you have to look for them by yourself and in a mission with 4500+ terrain brushes it's like finding a needle in 100 haystacks...
fibanocci on 3/8/2014 at 19:17
Depends how monolog looks like. Sometimes there are hints like that in the monolog
ERROR: error occurred in the proximity of 454.12218 637.47108 491.43206
ERROR: PortalClipPolygonByPlane: Didn't find exactly two spanning points
ERROR: portalization failed (while inserting brush 7716), no WR was generated (try to locate and tweak problematic location or brush)
This time I put some 26-sided cylinders close together and disabled the use-button (in DromEd NewDark 1.22)

I have some coplanar stuff and sadly Monolog doesn't give coordinates nor brush numbers (I realize I'm a bit off-topic :p ). If it did I would've fixed these issues a long time ago.
I also have an edge not in poly list and again no coordinates nor brush numbers. You have no idea how tremendously helpful those would be.
fibanocci on 3/8/2014 at 19:29
I'm not sure if I saw those informations in earlier versions of DromEd. :confused:
You might try the new NewDark version. Maybe there are some more informations about those errors in the monolog window.
I remember your problem, btw
skacky on 3/8/2014 at 20:44
I'm already making my missions on NewDark.
fibanocci on 3/8/2014 at 21:03
I'm talking about NewDark 1.22. Do the errors in monolog look different?
skacky on 3/8/2014 at 21:10
Ah sorry, didn't see the 'new' before NewDark. :p
Sadly no, Monolog is still the same.
