Here's a snag I ran into last night ...

 Chernarus is "too big" to have all the objects placed I needed for real survival pack, and random spawns I did. ( My spawn system runs off game logics) , there's a limit to how many objects you can place down , and I did not know that.

 I had all that done, weapon spawns, survival spawns placed in , and still did not have my encounters, medical, stashes or artifacts put in.

 So, what I did was pull my random spawn system out , and decided to go with a total stash/crate system instead.  Hoping it cuts down on the number of objects.

At this point, I might have to get better at scripting and load objects by scripts, trigger based so it only loads in when needed.  I've tried this before and nothing I seemed to do work.

 I still need to figure out how to spawn "bandits" and opfor dynamically too anyways. ( also something I hadn't gotten to work yet. )

 I came so far along , but after I placed all the things I wanted for the base "survival" aspects , I noticed I could no longer "preview" or test , and the mission would crash trying to load a game.
 So started removing objects, and it left me with such bare minimum objects, wasn't worth doing that way.

 Takistan I agree is a way better map , but it's actually larger landmass wise than Chernarus.
I'll see what I can do there though.  Takistan runs way better than Chernarus , it's better optimized.
 I was trying to get Chernarus map done ( everyone has Chernarus even on Arma2 free version), first then was gonna do other maps.
