Level design basics, part 12

Accurate level design
The best way to learn level design base, is to make a level in unreal
editor. It takes a great deal of work on details and the script code.
A wild strategy campaign takes a great deal of knowing how forests

work(grow). Accuracy is very important when designing, because
video game character accuracy is important as well. As accuracy is
basically important in any game, even in games that are not first

person shooters.  United states army is using this method for first
shooter video games making, more specifically Americas army games.
For the weapon barrel accuracy. They didn't just make the weapon

three dimensional models and apply some physics and just pull
the accuracy out of thin air. Making a level map from the level design
for three dimensional video games is hard. It requires a lot of

assembler related bit wise operations. The best idea for a map
making start would be to drive a large 2d rectangle area, like 100
meters times 300 meters. That's 30 thousand square meters. Then

apply the map to an editor. Check for all the entrances into the map
on all 4 borders. And exits. You should consult united states army.
Before making a military game. Forest is what should be covered

next. The three dimensional trees on the map.

Map nodes
Unreal Tournament 2004 's onslaught uses at power nodes, connected
to both bases. Map nodes basic building structures of level map. They
provide a draft support for the central part of the map. Battlefield

games are approved by the united states army. It literally means a battle
field. A campaign map should have level geographical relation between
maps. Basically it's not enough to make a campaign map and then just

randomly put the spots in order: you have to keep in mind the level
maps. They work just like onslaught map modes. On any difficulty,
onslaught mode is the hardest, also on any difficulty, skaars are the

most challenging. They are included in the level design. Their methods
and hard to get tricks. Rankin is a skaar zone. They climb metal plating
steeps while shooting. Or in other words, looking in the other direction

of climbing.

static mesh render

Static mesh is a data compound of a three dimensional object in time and space. To render one, it takes a one big storage file that contains all the data about the object. That data has to be stored on a disk drive. The really tricky meshes to render are the flying ones. It's a completely different air pressure. The data gets written to a game memory log, it's a massive multiplayer online game, otherwise in the cloud, like Steam. To render one, the data from the level and monster data files to the monitor handling chip. Monitor handling chips vary based on personal computers, lap tops, operating system, processor and graphics car. Before a three dimensional object can be rendered it has to be fixed on memory, either random access memory or the disk drive recovery point. A three dimensional object data can take quite a large amount of memory, especially those used multiple times. Steam Cloud has it's own of handling data, so that it is persistent. A level is made of static m...

object render

To render objects with c++, it is first required to load them on the engine's heap. After loading the object it has to be integrated into the game engine's allocated memory. void integrate() {     direct_x_node.call(); } Modern games(after doom 2) take an insane amount of heap memory. Integrating all the objects on the level, can take 400 mb or random access memory (ram). The same memory has the chip effect on the working of the central processing unit. To completely render the object, the first step is to load all the textures, shadow models, parts, particles, inner model, render the object on the level map, all the corelations with the heuristics. It is very hard to render the inner part of the objects, such as anatomy or infra structure. While it is perfectly fine to just render the inner part to not be displayed.  The anatomy of a player character or non player can be seen on the outside, and the internal strurcture of a level object such as a building, including the ...

object render, part 4

Object is either two dimensional, or three dimensional. Even abstract ones. People imagine c++ game objects as a part of a class on a graph chart, to understand the game and development mechanics. But they are really two dimensional, iso metric or three dimensional. They can be seen on the level or the level map, in other words, about 90% of used classes. Even server objects can be seen on the game, if there is any blue print or underlying real world net working mechanism. So in other words, the class objects can be used in game. They have to be dimensional. //PvE class Monster {     std::vector<int>  head_memory{};     std::vector<int> body_particles{}; public:     int get_memory(int element);     int get_particles(int element);     int get_head_memory_size();;     int get_body_particles_size(); }; Monster's head memory is used for AI render, the body particles list is used for rendering. 60 frames per second...
