Re: Mapping the Silent Octagon

In Response To: Re: Mapping the Silent Octagon (Trey Ikon) : I honestly can't remember if there are any loading zones at all...I'll have : to re-play it. But, if I'm reading you right, it sounds like the entire : level is always there. The amount of contiguous landscape (w/ such a High : LOD) the engine/hardware is capable of seems very impressive to me. Maybe : I'm just easy that way. i've experienced an instance where, viewing from the interior of a structure, the exterior geometry of SC is obviously NOT present -- at the top of the ramp leading out of the map room building, there was nothing but the lavender void and a barrier that absorbed all armament rounds. by backing down the ramp and slowly approaching the "loading..." trip point, once can see the exterior scene appear. the scene then acts normally. i infer that the exterior & the depths of the map room are distinct data sets, with an "overlap" at the load points. i merely found a way to bypass this particular load point. that involved jamming a 'hog in the 1st automatic door to the basement in such a way that exiting the driver's seat throws you out of the normal map & between the walls. occasionally a true teleportation can result (i've landed on and UNDER the ramp), thus bypassing the loadpoint. the security building may be different, as i don't think it's as complex as the map room building interior.
