Running a P166 (non MMX)
32 meg 70ns np SIMM
16 meg EDO
4meg Mystique
12meg 3D Blaster Voodoo2(the best thing Ive ever seen)
Room at largest dimension is approx 8 JED map grid squares at line every '1' on width, and is 3 tall.
Approx 20 things in room incl. enemies, boxes, player, his xwing, and his faithful droid (now working beautifully thx to Cogkings note on sub-vectoring)
FPS on my machine in 3d accelerated 640x480 w/ colored lighting active is averaging 30.
Lowest FPS that lasted longer than a half second was 10.
Lowest FPS noticed was 8.9 FPS while turning..this was just after level started, as the player negotiated through his first major turn.
Highest FPS was in a view that had a number of things in it oddly enough...mostly boxes..FPS was 44.9 or there abouts for approx 2 seconds while moving/turning and 47 when I stopped for a sec.
I'd love for someone to look at this level, but everytime I send something to the 'abadlevel' email, I never hear back about it :'(
I'll remerge as many sectors as I can, but the prob will still show up.
