larger available terrain

[qwerty]

ezthe amount of available terrain in rct2 is in single player more then enough. this is obviously because rct2 is a singleplayer game. but in openrct2 multiplayer there are more people working in the same amount of terrain. this is why big servers get very crowded and run out of space very fast. if there was an option to expand terrain that would fix the problem. of course downloading the new map would be an issue becouse it has a lot to download. but we can fix this by not loading everything at the same time. Serverside it loads everything ofcource but Cliëntside we can unload some parts. this would be very helpful. edit: found out the needs to switch to another file format. wel Nevermind then.

With a map having max size, you'll most likely hit another limit already before the map is really filled. We had that problem with Group Park 2, which wasn't even crowded and had lots of open areas left. Increasing the map size will also not be possible without breaking the SV6 file format.

i found out already that it would indeed break the file format. i came on the idea when the server im playing on runs out of space but would it be possible when openrct2 created it's own file format and used SV6 importable?

[Broxzier]

Yes. Even complex shapes would be possible then, but it's going to take a while before we move over to a new file format.

lol i was really stupid in 2017. ofcourse you can`t just make a new file format out of thin air. that costs a lot of time.

 

im so sorry for my stupid post.

Oh, don't beat yourself up for that. I don't mind "stupid posts" too much, as long as the author stays civil.
