you should use about 60 reflection probes for a large map don't forget to compile reflections after compiling the full map (not entsonly!) and rebuild fastfile!

yes. unless you just want to quickly test stuff, compiling reflections is allways needed.

Yes. Reflections do more than getting rid of the red colours. From the wiki: "Reflection probes are very important for the look of all shiny things in the game. Place one per room and one in each distinct outdoor area and additional ones near any especially shiny objects. They use memory but its reasonable to have 10-100 of them." edited on Aug. 13, 2008 05:51 am by The_Caretaker
