512x512x512 map challenge.

[MS-DOS4]

[QUOTE=TangoGorila;17149306]Before I go any further with my map, Is the map supposed to be 512 high as well? Or dose it not even matter?[/QUOTE]

"512 x 512 x 512"

Yes.

[QUOTE=darkspork;17149567]I've got an idea for a Portal map... Can I build outside the 512x512x512 area as long as it cannot be entered?[/QUOTE]

If it doesn't have an effect on gameplay.

So if you have turrets outside the map that shoot at you or something of that nature, that affects gameplay, but if you just have a window in to another room that you can't interact with, that's fine.

That kind of takes away from the idea of the contest. 3d skybox should be the only part of the map that isn't restricted by the size limit IMO.

[MS-DOS4]

Count me in. I'll see if I can come up with something alright...

Well, technically you could put skybox behind the window and make all the window rooms into 3d skybox, same effect, but pointless use of time.

[TheXeon]

[SnakeFace]

[TheXeon]

[QUOTE=TheXeon;17158609]argh this is hard cant get any ideas :argh:[/QUOTE]

The map doesent need to have an objective, you could make something pretty to explore for a few minutes or something too.

[Géza!]

Damn, I have a hard time deciding how thick should the floor/ceiling be between two levels in my possible entry...

[Stickmna]

[QUOTE=Géza!;17158907]Damn, I have a hard time deciding how thick should the floor/ceiling be between two levels in my possible entry...[/QUOTE]

16 units. Or 32. Those are the ones I found to work well.

Where's the "Thanks" rating when you need one...

Have a heart. :)

[laserpanda]

[QUOTE=Stickmna;17159306]16 units. Or 32. Those are the ones I found to work well.[/QUOTE]

I usually go with 16, unless the ceiling needs to be hollow for something like this

The tiles are only 2 units thick, with 24 units of empty space above them

[Stickmna]

Also, learn to capitalize your sentences. And it's "I" not "i".

Have to take a break, my mind keeps going fucking everywhere in terms of the design. Have to sit down for a couple hours and draw out a design that would work game play wise.
