@MFG38

when I search for orthogonal lines then I get conflicting information... what do you consider to be orthogonal lines?

 

lines a and c or line b?

 

_

also you should consider adding a restriction that require the mapper to only use orthogonal lines because being limited to either line type is a challenge.. something like "oops all orthogonal lines" or "orthogonal lines only" or similar

• 10 sectors or less 

 

I'm experimenting with a second map that uses this restriction, and I have a question - are we limited to ten literal sector blocks, or are you counting them as UDB would count them? What happens if you Join two sectors that aren't directly connected? Do they then count as one sector, or still two?

Based off of that visualization, lines A and C would be considered orthogonal.

Same principle applies as in past community projects with the restriction - 10 sectors as far as the Doom engine understands them. Meaning that joined sectors will count as a single sector.

ok so the math definition, I have been reading the following definitions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonality

http://www.creativeglossary.com/art-perspective/orthogonal-lines.html

 

in this image both a and b can be considered to be orthogonal lines .. but as I understand it, the restriction refers to a only? or does it refer to lines not being able to meet at a 90 degree angle?

Edited March 19 by CBM

[Artinum]

Orthogonal lines are basically "lines at right angles to each other".

The artistic version could be confusing because those lines are at right angles within the portrayed world. They aren't as drawn on the paper (or seen on screen in this case).

 

The earlier image with a, b, c lines is a 2D representation of a 3D vertex. Line b is perpendicular to a and c within three dimensions, but not as a 2D image.

 

For Doom maps, we don't have any choice about perpendicularity in the Z plane. Heights are always at right angles to sectors (at least in this format - no slopes here). But we can avoid right angles in the 2D map view, and that's what the challenge is looking for.

 

Best I understand it all, anyway. :)

That's going to make my mapping a lot easier. :)

Essentially, yeah. Think of the restriction as "no lines pointing straight in the 4 cardinal directions".

Damn, that's ambitious. I was considering a level with a lot of the restrictions in it, but you've gone even further!

 

So far I've been experimenting with two ideas for 10 sector maps and neither of them really works. Now considering something even crazier...

Thanks but the map is also heavily marked by its restrictions lol.

I am very curious regarding what you come up with.

I have no idea how @MFG38 is going to rule on that but in the old community project, merged sectors counted as a single sector. In my most recent map I just have 10 sectors and no merged sectors.

MFG38 already said pretty much that.

Hi i have a question 

 

Does the 64 grid limit applies also for items placement ?

Nope, just vertices.

Map 1 is really good. Atmospheric, very tense, and quite difficult, though I figured out the idea fairly quickly. So many crushers!

Map 2... I've never been a fan of platform levels. I liked the crazy shapes, though.

Two very fun little maps. I am in awe of your ability to make sector trucks and the like.

The trees in "Royal Flush" were particularly neat - I may have to crack that one open in UDB to see what you did there.
