|
||
reorganizing of thought, but in many ways is not substantially different from
|
||
making a halls-and-rooms type of map. The designer still has to be concerned
|
||
about how much can be seen at one time and give thought to map flow and play.
|
||
The rules and restrictions that guide conventional map design are still there
|
||
… it just occurs on a much grander scale. You still have to think about poly
|
||
counts, that hasn’t changed; but generally speaking, the polys that you will
|
||
use to make your game terrain are VERY large and less are likely to be seen all
|
||
at once during a game.</font></font></p>

|
||
The “<i>terrain</i>” style maps in Quake III: Team Arena do not represent any
|
||
changes to the Quake 3 Engine. The power to make them work has always been there,
|
||
unrealized and untapped. What has changed is the way map files are created and
|
||
processed. These construction techniques rely on changes in the <a href="http://www.qeradiant.com/" target="_blank"> Q3Radiant editor</a>
|
||
and the q3map program that processes the map files into game files.</font></p>
