he hit the max of 2.1billion coordinates I think.
btw Banias is spaced so he's stuck... and I can log in but it gets disconned when everything loads.

There is no 2.1 billion meter max, as has been said. I put an artificial limit in on the server which drops you if you go too far out, and that's what happens when you do: you can't log in anymore.

The sector crash is something different, I think, but I can't remember what caused that. Anyway, the server drop thing is in there to protect the sectors from seeing you too far out, because the octree expands too far and things screw up otherwise. I plan to get rid of the octree and use sweep and prune, which won't have this problem, but I have to rewrite the server first.

Who wants a low-quality screenie I took at 3081203m from s4?
There also seem to be 666 polygons in my view...

I could email it to you or something...

ooooo, cool after a1k0n changes the server code we'll have arbitrarely large space!

As far as the jittering goes would it be possible to dynamically allocate more memory to the position vector so that you wouldn't lose precision or would that be too much of a pain in the ***?

I definately like the idea of boundless space.
