vertices is now the biggest problem in trle
you know that the object must not contain more than 255 vertices..... it is very very small number
i cant create objects as i want coz this low number force me to ignore very special details which
must be in the object
do you know that this problem is only in tr4 editor because i extract many objects from tr3
using TRviewer and found that there are many objects contain more than 1000 vertices
example:do you remember the rocket in area51 level......it contains 1632 vertex
i think that the problem in tomb.exe Eidos did that to prevent us from putting high detailed objects
in our levels
in my Library there are many amazing objects but i cant use them in this hateful editor

WE LIVE IN THE NEXT GENERATION 3D GAMES not 255 vertex
i hope that Eidos release a new editor with high features (maybe in tombraider next generation)
and i hope that turbo pascal can fix this problem

ZAHER ABBAS

i think that all of you have this problem

Extracting Objects using TRViewer cause's Error's in objects.
Use Michiels TR2WAD and you'll see this problem is solved.
The vertices problem is something even Eidos had.
Only thing is however.. All they had to do was re-program the EXE to support more if they needed to.
However as long as you plan your object properly you won't have any problems. ^_~

Pardon me if I'm asking a dumb question but.....

If you are making a static object which is larger than 1 cube can you not split the object into multiple cubes each with a 255 vertex limit (without exceeding memmory constraints obviously) ?

Conan is right.
Although Core has made objects over 5 blocks wide and still managed to stay in the 255 limit..
Still if your going for detail it may be best to split your object like Conan said!
