G-Map

G-Map, I hate it. Whats the difference between the G-Map and the regular level? Whenever i'm on a G-Map I lag soooooo much. I get on G3 so I don't lag, but I lag even worse because I can't turn off Direct lights. Somebody, please help.

gmap loads all of the levels surrounding you as well

this of course will cause more lag

it acts like one big connected level

I don't know if it's the same online, but offline, when I drop a bomb it dissapears right away. I'm wondering if it has something to do with x and y in the bomb npc you start with, since I noticed I have to change x and y coordinates that are scripted in for all npc's on a gmap.

bombs are probably not compatible with gmap

it's better to rescript them anyway

Gmaps don't lag me at all... And on normal maps, NPCs dont load until you enter the level, while GMaps load all the NPCs in the levels around you, so you can see them right away. Plus you can do alot of neat stuff with GMaps scripting-wise that you can't without a Gmap.

To put it simply: Gmap > no Gmap
