So i have reached the maximum of brushes in my mission, so i´m reducing a few things, however i was wondering if i could increase the brush limit number in my dark file, for the moment i have the settings by NewDark 1.26:
; object counts
obj_min -18192
obj_max 8000
max_refs 50000
and i was wondering if i could increase the object max to 8300 or 8500?
what are your recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

obj_max is
obj_max 8184
the other values are okay
In DromEd, type
info_window
and post the screenshot of the window

So many terrain brushes, but no area brush :joke:
That doesn't look good. I'd recommend to split the mission in two missions. You'll hit the next limit soon.
Open the mission in DromEd, optimize and run pathfinding database and post the monolog in code tags.

I don't think it will be necessary to split the mission in two missions, i am almost finished with filling the objects and then the ai creatures is the only thing left to add.
Ok i´ll try to post here the monolog. in code tags?

I don't want a screenshot. Open monolog after optimize and pathfinding database, post the text in code tags.

I was wondering the same thing. Using area brushes helps me see only what I want to see, and optimization times are mush faster while I'm making several additions or adjustments to my terrain.

There are 15862 brush ids used. Max brushed limit is: 16384
16384-15862=522 brush/obj ids left
~200-300 obj ids might me created/used ingame
~200-300 obj ids left which can be created for scripting, markers, terrpts, goals, etc
Save objects and brushes, maybe you can do it. Good luck.
