Level design basics, part 16

 MAP DESIGN

A map design is a part of a level design. An essential part, actually
. It covers a lot of level parts from the top down view, including AI
script and objectives. Index mapping: is a technique used for design

ing and generating maps. Use small numbers: 0, 1 and 2. To generate
a informational file that holds the level. As core mapping. Some
where near the maps middle.

This is a terrain generation pattern, that makes the engine draw the
map, on the three dimensional monitor screen. Information is process
ed through the game; from the processor and random access memory into

numerical draw. A good user interface, has good map graph ics and a
two dimensional map. This is important, because all level information
data is stored in the same file: the three dimensional level map AND

the two dimensional carryable map. The latter is basically terrain
sequence patterns forming map with artificial intelligence positional
movement. Business map is an important meeting part of enterprise

corporate companies, to cover all the facility building issues.
If you use this technique in video game making, the video game making
company's can make a situational awareness map actually in the game.

Designing a map is a lot of hard work. Making sequence patterns for
articial intelligence living beings is not a cake walk. If you ever
played America's army 2, then you remember the almost impossible to

pass in less than 5 minutes infamous bridge crossing and special
forces missions. The bridge map sounds like three main buildings to
make. But it isn't. The bridge is more than 100 meters tall. Which is

why making a dumb mistake can cost your life. You get shred by
grenade fragments on the cat walk, unless if you jump off. Small
numbers are VERY important in making a map. Sequences are hard to

print on the screen.

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 ...

Level design basics, part 2

An arch level design is hard, as it doesn't involve only polygon boxes, but also also three dimensional curve lines. If you ever played. Americas army 1, you'll know how hard it is to make a curve building, like the famous over played bridge crossing map. The point is to start. With one curve. Curve is not a straight line, but it's still a line. Means it is possible to apply lines into a three dimensional level. arch 0 0 1 0
