I have a micro-machine sub-arena in my zone. Even with small ships, low speed and slow bullets... I get very low FPS. I've attached my map... could someone tell me how I could fix it? Or what a no-no with the map is that's causing the FPS to hang so much?

I'm betting you have a tiled background done via LVZs? If so, I think I've found your FPS problem.

dont think its the map lol

I haven't done anything with lvz's in the subarena except for the ships.

why would u even think a SMALL MAP of all things would make a bad fps? maybe its the tiles (doubt)? the ships? take out the ships and see if its fixed

You obviously didn't look at the map then. It is a small map, but that wasn't why I thought the FPS is bad; the small area that the whole map is played on has densely packed tiles in it, and that's why I believe the FPS is bad.

Well, test and see if its the map. Change the map to some other known good one, and see how your FPS do.

I think if you replace some of the tiles with mapobjects, like the road for example, your fps will get better.

Actually, a couple of medium sized images work better than one large one. By medium, I mean like 600x600 size.
