Distances and scale, help please...

Legionnaired

Ok, i have a few questions before I start my map, NS_Fractal.

1) How for can a level 1 run in a second, in worldcraft units?

2) same ? for marines

They change from time to time due to upgrades and amount of weaponry being carried, and the basic speeds change from build to build.

Sorry, the question is unanswerable.

Bah...

Can you at least give me an estimate... I jsut wanna make it to the right scale so i dont have to re-do all my texturing and stuff if I find out I made it too big...

Build a 256x256x256 box in WC/t3h H4mm3r and run around in the NSTR in it. You can get a basic feel from something like that.

Put an info_player_start into the map. That is the size of a marine/level 4.

You should use the texture sizes as a base for scale. EG, railing textures are generally 32 units high - which means that, yes, railings are 32 units high in-game. Ideal door height is about 160, or 128 for a lower door. Corridor width depends but 192-256 is a comfortable size.

Scale shouldn't be a problem. Just build your room and run around in it - if it feels too small or large then you've done something wrong.

Thanks meerkaba!

Also, use the NSTR to run around as an alien.  The level 1 speed in the NSTR isn't too far off.

Legionnaired

Right, cool

Can you wall climb in the NSTR?

yeah, you can wallclimb in the NSTR, look up the button (because i havent used NSTR in that long that i have forgotten =D)
