Overworld Tiles

Postby GuybrushThreepwood » Sun Dec 16, 2012 6:46 am

I've been making this game that has a HUGE overworld, and it seems to be causing problems when trying to run the game. I fire up game mode, and everything else loads, but the overworld tiles, and after a few seconds, gameEditor crashes. I was wondering if there was some kind of way to make only certain tiles appear when they are a certain distance from my character, or some other remedy to this problem, or if it's something else entirely.

Are you using actual tiles? If so, your tiles should probably be broken up into clones. Using a giant set of tiles could be the reason, and you can't make only some of the tiles render if they are a single actor. Otherwise you can use activation regions, though that can be problematic given a single level.

Yes, I'm using tiles. To create them I go into Tile --> Single Tile. I have the overworld broken up into reasonably large chunks.
