| - | Having a big number of particle effects is doable in HPL2, but they need to fade at distance (note: if you are already using fog culling, this probably won't help much). When placing a particle in the map, set it's fade distance so that the player can't see it when they are too far. Depending on your map, you might want to fade in a bigger particle in the place of few small ones - this way something will be visible from distance, but still will increase performance. | + | Having a big number of particle effects is doable in HPL2, but they need to fade them at distance (note: if you are already using fog culling, this probably won't help much).

| The more particles there are in the map, the more this method will be effective. From the author's experience, this allows the map to have a couple hundred particles in the map without any performance drop. | The more particles there are in the map, the more this method will be effective.
