Tech demo underground map?

[LazyCoder]

I think most of us have seen the tech demo video that came out long before the beta started. The one with a primitive starcraft ghost type 3rd person game, and it ends with something that looks like galaxian.

Just wondering, what was the deal with that underground part of the tech demo video? How did they do that?

Well considering the game is not even out yet (we only have the beta)....
You will probably have axcess to those models in the full game.

Well, DSG, i am sure there will be an ability to create more levels in your map. Underground levels, towers, more towers, etc.

I think the underground area was a corner of the map and they just changed the minimap.

 

[Statharas]

Well, we should hope that what i said is true.

Anyway, you should pay more attention to the minimap. There's a part of the minimap that doesn't change at all.

Check out my terrains, that's simple as hell if you have a proper doddad. You just have to have a doddad with no collision and page Up it so it would be like a roof. You could do that in Warcraft, the problem was that all the third/first person games in Warcraft 3 already were too clumsy...

I'm pretty sure they said that there would be support for underground levels. Even if they don't, the video shows that you can create the same effect.

I think it was done via loading another map. The period of lag shows this as it would have to load the underground map.

Unless there is some multiple pathing support no one knows of.
