Hi
i have this problem that map is not showing if you are not close enough so lets say you go away from object it starts to show floor and if you come closer just then it shows the object. Ideas how to fix it? Its really annoying and makes it so disgusting

Just split the whole object into 2x2, it's not required much thinking to draw some conclusions.
The server part send to you only small port of the whole map which in standard is 18x14 but most of time you see on the client only 15x11 tiles which means that you have additional 1 tile for top and left or 2 tiles for bottom and right.
With this you know that you have 2 additional tiles that do rendering outside of your view port which means that objects higher than 2x2 will get "glitchy"(client will draw them only if they will be in the 18x14 tiles) in the game.
The other solution is to increase the server part that send tiles to client but it will only increase network traffic for stupid reason and if you end increasing client "view port"...

Problem is just like i said it doesnt load objects/buildings they disappear when you go away. So lets say you have big buildings that are like 10x10 pixel size so to create you probably split them to 5x5 and in rme you merge them to one building and when you got to the game one part of building disappears so you have to come closer and just then it starts to load that part.
Lets say this it the building that should look like this in game from all distances

And this is how it looks when you start to go away from it

It should stay the same all the time. Its pretty much with very object that are merged that are really big sprite.

I guess thats something about the map tiles sent to client... you can check flatlanders server part to check how to increase them

Is there function to split the object into 2x2 in ob? If not its kinda frustrating because that sprite has like 300~ details so i will spend a lot of time to recreate the sprite by 2x2
