Borderlands 2 Mysteries Explained By Its Own Developer - Boundary Break

As a former map making enthusiast back in the Quake days I can explain the part at 11:12, how the whole map is basically made inside a box. Because of the way light is rendered on maps, you basically can't have any 'leaks' to the outside world where light could bounce around almost to infinity. For quick rendering times during level compilation it is smart to put your level inside a box like this so that, should there be any leaks, it won't really take any longer to render as you are doing everything within the confines of this 'airtight' box. I learnt this the hard way back in Quake 2, where maps i was making would take half a day to render because there would be a tiny little hole between 2 walls somewhere that 'leaked into space', and of course during compilation, the calculations being done on light would go through this hole and out into deep space, as it were.

But thanks to youtubes new editing software, I can remove clips and the video will publish the edit within an hour or so.

7:31 - I've been in one of those before. _Borderlands 1_ T-Bone Junction, which is basically a derrick suspended high above a wild ground. By driving a vehicle off of the derrick, you're despawned (killed) and brought back to the New-U. But if you switch seats just before you hit that part, you would fall straight through it and can muck around in the wilderness outside. And there was *a lot* of it. Me and my buddies spent _many hours_ trying to fall into the box underneath the map. I always assumed it was a skybox, but it didn't have "sky" in it. Did eventually get inside. There was nothing. But it was like a little clubhouse. That you couldn't escape from when you finally got inside.

[@davidburke4101]

They probably actually had a texture but somebody made a mistake, saw that the glitch looked cool on a gun and rolled with it

[@suolasfilms]

@@davidburke4101 It is not a glitch. That happens when an object does not have a texture assigned to it. It's programmed that way so that developers can easily see and remove it, The same way Valve uses Orange for their walls with clipping but no texture. Your Dev in the video explained it precisely as a removed asset with no interactions/clipping/texture/animation. They are essentially Base Meshes from a 3D program like Maya/Modo before you do ANYTHING to it. The Program the game world is in is pre-programmed to add that rainbow 'texture' to any meshes, baked or not, with that colour coding for ease of finding/programming/removal. It would be a glitch if the box/es somehow found it's/their way into the game world either through button combination or actions that might trigger the movement from unseen/uniteractable to being visible/interactable in the game world. This is literally using that code within the game world. But you know what, that actually did look cool already before. On an Amiga 400.
