Level Analysis Suite

Level Analysis Suite

Module: Design · Category: LevelDesign · Tool ID: LevelAnalysisSuite

A four-tab merged suite for level-side analysis. Inventory groups actors by class with counts. Metrics estimates map size and lists the heaviest actors. Validation runs a configurable level-checkpoint checklist with severity. Room Metrics analyzes room-scale geometry (cover, sightlines, line-of-sight).

---

When to use it

• Final level audit — getting a one-glance breakdown of every actor type and the heaviest actors
• Production checkpoint — running the validation checklist before review
• Combat / cover design — using the room metrics tab to evaluate sightlines
• Reporting level health to the team

When not to use it

• Don’t expect detailed mesh stats — use Mesh Intelligence Dashboard for that
• Don’t expect this to author levels — read-only audit

Opening the tool

1. Open the EQLabs Hub and search for Level Analysis (or browse to Design → LevelDesign)
2. Click the tool card
3. Use the tab bar: Inventory, Metrics, Validation, Room Metrics

---

Tab 1 — Actor Inventory Report

Class-based actor grouping with counts.

Section	What it does
Scan button	Walks the active level
Class summary list	Per-class row: class name, count
Drill-down	Click a class to see every actor of that class

---

Tab 2 — Map Size Estimator

Map metrics + heaviest-actor inventory.

Section	What it does
Scan	Walks the level
Map dimensions	Bounding box of all actors
Heaviest actors list	Sorted by triangle count, draw cost, or memory

---

Tab 3 — Level Checkpoint Validator

Configurable checklist with severity.

Section	What it does
Run Validation	Executes every check
Checklist items	Configurable per project — covers things like “navigation built”, “lighting built”, “shadowing volume present”, “kill volume present”, etc.
Severity per check	Pass / Warning / Fail

---

Tab 4 — Room Metric Analyzer

Cover / sightline / room-scale geometry analysis.

Section	What it does
Analyze	Performs room-scale analysis on the active level
Cover map	Identifies cover points
Sightline analysis	Line-of-sight between key points

---

Workflow

A typical level audit walks all four tabs in order:

1. Inventory — see what’s there
2. Metrics — see what costs what
3. Validation — confirm production checklist
4. Room Metrics — only if it’s a combat / cover-design level

---

Settings reference

Per-tab settings persist to [Project]/Saved/EQLabs/Settings/LevelAnalysisSuite.json.

Output

• In-panel results per tab
• No edits — read-only

Tips & gotchas

• Heaviest actors are a relative metric — the heaviest actor in a small level is fine; in a shipping level it might be a problem
• Validation checklist is configurable — the default checks are sensible but project-specific tuning is expected
• Room Metrics is geometry-driven — works best on levels with clear room boundaries
