Maxium map size?

[EchoJ7]

I hope its not to presumptious to ask, is there a cap to the maxium map size in km

Probably as large as the editor provides for on the grid.

However, the better question to ask is how large can it be before it isn't practical anymore.

RO:OST had Tank-Maps several km

Answer : Plenty big. We could already make maps that were miles in size in RO:Ost. UE3 only does it justice by allowing more and better optimized ranges.

Agreed. We could make humongous maps but.. if it's not a tank map then what's the point. Dying and then having to spend 30 minutes of walking only to get shot in the face.

To answer the question literally, 1 udk unit is equal to roughly .70 of an inch, assuming the default UDK player height is of average human height.

The map space is 500,000 units across, coming to 7.64 kilometers across. 7.64 x 7.64 is 58.36. So the maximum map space is 58 square kilometers, or 58 cubed kilometers if you also want to go really high

For HOS, 1uu = 2cm.

It's good they are standardizing the measurements. In that case the world would be 10 km across in relation to the size of the player.

So its either 58km^2 or 10km^2? A pretty large discrepancy. Do either of you have a source so we can know for sure?

Study the UDN UE 3 section like it's your bible.

What?

It's either 10km across (if you were to walk from one end to the other in a straight line) or (10x10) 100 km^2.

I just provided the ^2 arbitrarily.. its not really important, as walking distance tends to factor into the perceived "size" of the map more than the area... at least from a gameplay standpoint

I think the way you said it just confused me. In fact, I'm still not sure I understand your post. I dont understand how you got 7.68km across, and I don't get how you get 58km^2 for the total area.
