I wanna make a new MP level.....for JKRPG2... its gonne abe a big castle + town enclosed in 4 walls......since i cant make all the buildings into archi, i though about making most of them into 3dos.....

Will that effect framerate much?

yes, it will definately affect framerate
for the better

positive space editing is nearly always better as a 3do

lack of adjoins=good
manymanymanymany adjoins=veryveryveryvery bad

this is in relation to Midget Basher's law
the number of adjoins is inversely proportional to the quality of the level

1st, mist I ask why are you doing a MP-level for JKRPG2, and depending on the look of the city, just build streets and houses around the streets, and have a bigger building block the view every now and then.
Check Barons Hed in JED if you need more ideas on how to do it.
