Red Faction: Red Info

Posted by WildWolf:

You may be thinking "wtf is 'Red'?" Well, Red is the name of the RF Level Editor. John Slagel, l33t programmer p1mp, filled us in on some info over at the VBB regarding polygon limits:

The editor is called Red. (Get it?) [ed. huhuh, i get it]

In terms of limits... there are no consistent hard limits on face size. You can place things until you run out of memory or it gets so slow you can't move anything well enough to place things. There are a few internal limits in the game and the editor preview window like number of faces per room, but they are so large, no designer here has hit them, so I doubt it is a problem. Once we start making sure we run in a small amount of memory for release, we may back these limits up to the maximum that all our levels need, but only for the game, probably not the editor.
