Map specifications

Does anyone have a good rule of thumb on what size to make structures so that they look scaled compared to a player?
For instance, how big is the player? How many units of steps can he walk up without jumping? How high can he jump? That kind of information.
I assume this is similar to what was used in Tribes2, but I never played that =)

The usual scale number for WorldCraft is 32 units/m, so a 128 unit wall in WorldCraft would be 4m tall in the game. Steps were usuall less than a meter (about 16 WC units or 1/2m). This 32/m scale also gives you 32 texels per meter which is pretty good for the textures.

The sizes in the V12 are all meter units. The default player is about 2m tall, about what you'd expect. He runs a little fast though, about 14m per sec. Gravity is a little stronger than normal also, 20 m/sec (instead of 9.8). I think by default the player handle 1m steps, probably jumps a few meters in the air. Those numbers were just tweaked until they felt good, running around a "real" speed didn't turn out to be very much fun.The usual scale number for WorldCraft is 32 units/m, so a 128 unit wall in WorldCraft would be 4m tall in the game.
