If you want to have a castle model as a .dts in the map:
Must you use only shapes like boxes as collision objects,or can you just use a copy of the castle's mesh?

Collision meshes must be convex, however you can add multiple meshes (I believe up to 9, but could be wrong on that). Regardless of the meshes or the number you should try to keep the poly count _VERY_ low. Player/object or worse vehicle/object collisions are fairly intensive.Hope this helps...

It shows the collision meshes usage. It's written as a node reference; however it's a great overall reference.
