Re: Mapmaking question

SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Mapmaking question (Mr TOZ-T)

: Is it possible to recreate 5-D space with the Unreal
: Engine? In the map I'm working on there are several
: areas that were seperate but overlapping spaces in the
: original map but have now been merged into one room in
: the MMC parsed map.
: Just wondering if anyone else has had to deal with this
: problem in any of the other levels?
As Djof suggested, if the geometry is only slightly overlapping (as in Arrival) the geometry can be modified to fit. The best way to make this fit depends on how the map is laid out.
If the map is designed to use 5d space (as in 5-D Space) then take one set of geometry and move it either straight up or straight down so that it no longer intersects. This allows the motion sensor to work correctly.
To make the portal seamless you will need to retain enough of the displaced geometry in the original position to hold any lights that would affect the seam, and enough of the original geometry in the displaced position without any intersection of space.
