Billboards and sizes

[_Edward_]

Hi!
Might be a silly question or problem. I have made myself 3 billboards, though they are not in the billboard section when placing scenery. They are regular Wall Misc. Also, they are about 200x200x1 meters big. What I was thinking of making was a bit of a prefab space box (rather than having to place a hundred or more little walls and platforms of stars). Thing is, once I place this big wall or platform, the game quits, without any error messages. The silly question is... Too big?

umm, proboboly. However, there have been other large objects imported successfully. Check that you have shadows turned of for that piece.

It's also a bad idea to make big billboards. The images are rendered at 512x256 iirc, which will look crappy.

I turned off shadows for all pieces but it still crashed when I placed a piece.
Why I chose billboards as a wall was so that I could choose on the spot which texture would look good (like a very large starfield, or some other stuff).
But if I can't have a billboard as a texture for such a large object then.....
I don't know what to do.

I dunno either. Sounds like what your going to have to do is subdivide both it and the 'billboard' images you plan to use.
