and what would that hard limit be.. 1024?

Im not sure what the limit is but science has 402 entities.. on my oversized map.

Unless i find out a shader actually increases performance significantly ill use entites too

and what would that hard limit be.. 1024?

Checked my map's entities: 1519



thats a little over the limit

I found this:

Summary:

but you can't Use more than ~1000 Lights, because the Limit of Entities is 1024, and every Single Light is a seperate one. Also you can do Spotlights, by pointing a light to a target_position, but Remeber you cannot do more than 128 of them

Surfacelights (with eventually BlendImages) are better than Light Entities, because they don't use any Entities (exept 1x Worldspawn) Using too much Entities can be bad for some Maps, an Example is "IcyWorld" by Rambetter, where some Players get everytime a "Bad Command Byte". So better Use Skylight and Shaders, there is even a Shader of Simple Light Emitting Brushes in the Default Paks, it's Realworld_light. Make a box/whatever with this Shader at all Faces, and you can handle it like a Light Entity, and you don't get Too much of Them.

How in the hello do you have that many entities flame? Most of my lights are 300 or 500 in my map.. And I don't have that many...  Do you just make a solid grid and copy/paste or what? lol


Seems to me any respectable map (Not mine) could easily stay under the cap... Now I do have ambient light set to 25.. I think it looks better and more smoothed over..

Oh and yeah my lights are 300-500 but then i tinkered with pointscale till i found the sweet spot.. (.4)

[Flame[1up]]

yeah i have about 500 lights in my rainbow room xD

[SnKQuaKe]

Can you just up the radius double and cut out every other light? Why so many?

There is no Limit for me 

Flame's Poem

Look on the horizon,
for the gold up high.
This is the powerful sun,
which in our lives, we live by.

For it wakes full of power,
Giving us the courage we have seen.
For it sleeps,graceful as a flower,
Keeping us quiet and serene

It radiates the sky,
creating hues we've never imagined.
For we all let out a sigh,
As it creates a huge rainbow bend.

The sun is full of courage,
never backing down.
Making the sky a forage.
For this is the Earth's crown.

This just came into my mind but I think it would be kinda cool if we had like a Heaven/Hell map. Red team is Hell and Blue Team is Heaven. Make the map kinda like the ... can't think of the name of the map. It's only on TDM and it's the 1up map or something like that. Just an Idea.
