Highest number of bridges in unlocked FMB ?
« on: June 14, 2010, 10:00:27 AM »

As anybody knows, I am working on the map of East Balt, aka East Prussia.
http://forum.aviaskins.com/showthread.php?p=57034#post57034   
There is a lot of rivers and roads, so the amount of necessary bridges is pretty above 200. When populating these bridges manually, I reached above 100, and the unlocked FMB (by Kevinp) refused to load the map anymore, simply goes down when trying the map. Other maps work well, fortunately partial backup saves something.
Does anybody meet the phenomenon ? Is there limit of the number of bridges in unlocked FMB ?

hi uzin - i think what is happening is not a limitation of bridges, but that your FMB is crashing because if the increased size of the actors.static file...there are some tools to help for this, but i haven't used them successfully yet. there will be someone who can help you, if this is indeed the problem. i'm sure one of the map guru's like agracier, or such, could give you good advice as far as working with the actors file...

Hi mate!

Sorry for the little off-topic question but I'm a bit confused about them....are still optimized for a 64bit or they can work on a 34 bit as well?

I'm asking because I have some loadings issue on huge maps (so I need them) and I have read in the tread that on 32 bit they can cause CTD (so I'm a little worried about)!!!

cheers

i'm also on a 32-bit XP system, and most of those new exe's cause a CTD... :(

Many thanks , but my actor.static file was only 22kB at the moment of crashing the unlocked FMB.
Perhaps there is another limitation. Before the crashing, I was succesfull with 89 bridges added. Unfortunately, the map needs at lest three times more ones.
EDIT:
I tried il2fb.exe by HaDes, it seems that it works, now unlocked FMB opens even map Gulf of Finland, where there are  about 1200 bridges present there.
Many thanks to all respondents here.
