Doors and stores
« on: January 13, 2003, 07:18:08 pm »
Anyone know if the doors and stores will be working in the next test? I guess for that matter will there be any NPC\'s in the next test? I\'m really anxious to see any new content  :)

Yeah, and when you go through them you will fall into a big nothing.

The doors don\'t move in this release, but several of them are open, so you can go inside some buildings and explore.

Thats cool, if the inside of the buildings look as good as the outside then it should be a real treat getting a loook inside some of them  :)

There are screenshots of at least one interior on the main planeshift website.  I suggest looking there.

Will the inside of the building be proportional to what it looks like outside?

If it is proportional, when you walk into a structure, will the program load a totally new world or will it be seemless?

Unless the door leads a new sector of the game, there should be no new level loading... So i guess it should be seemless. If there is no loading, it means that if you enter a building, we can\'t \'cheat\' and change its size while you enter...

This is at the center of the main memory leaks at the moment. Conceptually, the world is seamless; so theorically you can walk around and just enter whatever sector you can reach and see. To do this ATM you need a lot of ram: to quickly solve the high memory requirements of THIS RELEASE we are splitting the world into some regions that will be loaded/unloaded when required. This is not the optimal dynamic loading of visible/reachable things we are envisioning for the future, but it helps already.

To give a more direct answer to the questions posted before, some interiors will be absolutely seamless, while others will not. I will not tell more now ;)
