Server Side collision using physx doable?

Hi, I'd like to know if anyone did this.

World will be somewhat big (10km x 10km).

a 2km x 1km world take ~500mb ram when fully textured + meshed, etc. (Using WORLD_FULL flag to load entire world)

PHP Code:

// create the world from tutorial : 03 - World with Character.cpp
   Game::World.init(Game::WORLD_FULL)
              .setObjType(Statics, OBJ_STATIC)
              .setObjType(Players, OBJ_PLAYER) // please note that here we'll use 'Players' memory container for 'OBJ_PLAYER' objects
              .setObjType(Items  , OBJ_ITEM  )
              .New("world/world.world"); 

Is there a way to tell the engine on the server not to load any mesh and no textures but to load only terrain (heightmap untextured) + .phys files from the world, then check every player (that are moving or !onGround) for collision/falls during update()?

Any info here would be great to have smile

you can manually delete from memory the area mesh
