i am using a really bad gfx card - long story short my decent one is lost. as such i cannot load models to my map. Which is no big deal, except i cannot decide what width to have my road, and check it to a model car. i am currently going with 208 (for two lanes), but wanted to check here before i did, as i dont want to get to far ahead of myself before realising that i needed to resize due to poor planning. i have done a bit of searching and found nothing concrete on size, but i could easily have missed something. thanks. p.s. perchance is there a mappers "standard" size, for things like roads, in the form of a tutorial?

Gameplay standards Doorways and windows Doorways = 56 units wide/96 units high For high traffic areas it is sometime best to make it a double door. Double door = 128 units wide/96 units high Window Height = 32 units from floor to the bottom of the window frame. Window Frame = minimum of 46 units wide 72 units high. (Inside diameter) Stairways Interior = 8 high / 10 deep 64 unit min. width Hallways Hallways = 489 units wide Walls Building wall/One story high = 128 units high Wall thickness = 8 units Columns = 32-48 units wide A 32 unit wide column is barely enough to still offer valid cover for the player. And after the column_cover node animations have been added 32-48 units will also provide valid cover and firing angles from both sides of the column for AI as well. Streets Large - Four car width = 600 units Small - Two Tank width = 300 units Alleyway – small street = 300 units wide Sidewalk Small = 128 units wide Medium = 192 units wide Large = 256 units wide (this is more for Singleplayer levels) Cover Standing cover height = 48 units high Crouching = 32 units Prone cover height = 16 units high Prone crawling height clearance = 32 units high Engagement ranges These would be the range at which a firefight takes place. These ranges make sure the player is shooting at a target that is a good size to hit and interact with. This will help keep the levels from getting too big and having pixel shooting distances. There is a model in the game called mw_scale_soldier. It has two rings around him, one at 600 and one at 1024. Based off of COD2’s weapons settings, 512 was a good distance to shoot an SMG at a target and 1024 was a good distance for a rifle. These can be adjusted if the new weapons get changed drastically. You can drop the model in your level to make sure your geo is not getting too big. Hope this helps m8

Now that the wiki is gone, those measurements may be very useful. Sticky anyone?

What should be mentioned is that these scales are only an ideal for gameplay and are really the 'minimum', aslong as the actor can fit through a door then its a good door. But door heights, curb witdths, trims, roofs, columns are all down to the mapper to scale according to their design.

Doors, hallways, stairways etc. should generally fit two people, bottlenecks are annoying. (So- 64 units). Or at least not be so long that a bottleneck would be problematic. Anywhere a player gets stuck is annoying and it's also bad when there is a long hallway and two players meet in the middle only to find they have to turn around. Imagine if the tunnels in pipeline could only fit 1 person? That would suck.
