==HUGE .nav file generated==
==HUGE .nav file generated==
Does someone already faced this problem when the .nav file is like 5 MB wide after the nav_generate and 90 MB after the nav_analyze? It's a hell of a big .nav file, I'm surprised it doesn't cause any trouble to load it, but I'm also surprised that the file grew 18 times during the nav_analyze. It's a large map with a rough terrain, using many displacements and a great playable surface, but still... is there a way to optimize it? Am I missing something? I don't feel like merging all of these thousands of little squares at hand... --[[User:NykO18|NykO18]] 14:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Left 4 Dead maps like the fourth map of Blood Harvest (barn, trains, bridge) are similarly complex and the .nav file doesn't exceed 20 MB if I remember correctly. --[[User:NykO18|NykO18]] 14:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, I tried. Have no idea how to use this wiki efficiently, but hopefully this article will be useful if not well worded. --Alfonzo 07:03, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

HUGE .nav file generated

Does someone already faced this problem when the .nav file is like 5 MB wide after the nav_generate and 90 MB after the nav_analyze?
