Path note problem

Hello everybody,
I have a question about the path notes at unreal editor.
Is it true that if i put more path notes in map, that my map will lagg?
I ask this question because in Energy Plant there are 1648 path notes and in other Monstermash 2 maps there are less than 1648 path notes.
Thanks for help

Finished maps:
DM-Elimination-Chamber :cheers:
DM-Grove-Street (50% ready) :banana: gangsta :swink:

Nope. 0 - a million path nodes will mean a hundred frames per second for my machine.
However a million path nodes will mean a million hours to compile your map (it's adding reachspecs during the build).

Take a look at standard DM and CTF maps that come with the game to see an example of how you should path your levels.
I advise against going overboard with pathnodes because (a) it'll take forever to build your map and (b) the more complicated the paths are the more chance bot/monster AI will act stupidly in choosing paths.

Thank you very much for help Ant and Wail :ssmile: ,
how can i make a map playable on monstermash server without lagg.
Is there a trick?
For example a map size 5000 x 5000 x 2000
How many path notes?
How many particles for emitter?
How many meshes?
Is karma physics allowed?

Kind of curious why you think optimization is such a big deal. I realize some people use older machines, but I have not had any trouble with maps on MM in themselves. Just make your map as good as you can and if you end up having performance issues in the game you can always look into optimizing if your fully realized level is too demanding (Unless it's called CTF-Kernel or CTF-Semiramis, you're probably good.)
