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).

Suite open on Inventory tab with actor classes grouped, tab bar visible.

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

What it isn’t for

• 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

Validation tab showing checklist with mix of Pass / Warning / Fail entries.

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 and 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.
