Spring RTS Engine

3dsmax is HORRIBLE for your old fashion mesh editing but the nurbs are cool then again I am a noob to modeling but I hope I was somewhat informative.

For 3dsmax, thats the exact opposite. Nurbs in max are "horrible" but it has pretty good mesh (poly) editing cababilities.

Nice program but theres "bug" with the the decimals. The program accepts and saves stuff in this format. WaterSurfaceColor=0,49 0,5 0,46; But the Spring only accepts only when using dot with decimals... WaterSurfaceColor=0.49 0.5 0.46; If theres someone working on this, i hope they take th...

Something like what Argh suggested sounds good. If it really gives the ability to create bridge features and such.

Yea, the files are just 7z files renamaed to sd7. To open existing sd7 file, just rename it to 7z and unzip.

Found something that might have some interest to someone. :) http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php actual download: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php Its free, open source under GPL. Tested with the simple method of using fixed tile size (1024x1024) when "...

@Weaver I could use the functionality for "non-l3dt". Actually, id like some command line option too, sinve ive got everything else done "half-automatically" via batch files already. I did find something similar but its some Java thing. Thought, doesnt work with bmp. http://www.c...

What is that map that looks kinda like something out of Dune? The desert map...

Any ideas if they are going to redo the collosion to allow nice (and correctly handled) features like buildings and such?

The editor for Simcity 4 looks damn nice, i wonder if Spring could handle large urban areas? :)

some screenshots can be found here...

Yes it does, but its not. :)

Since theres no real map editor i thought i look if theres something that could help with editing map... Daylon Leveller, too bad its not open source/freeware, but its still very nice editor. http://www.daylongraphics.com/products/leveller/index.htm Klevel, couldnt test it since i dont have Linux, b...

My "map(s)"? :)

If you mean those maps that i posted screens of, its the skybox thats i found on some thread.

You asked why you are getting the "blue box/plane," and you are getting it because your SMD file defines it through the WaterPlaneColor tag. Thats good to know. Not to mention that is a completely different map Pretty much the same map, but i fail to see if that even matters in this case....

Hmm...

What is the purpose of that bright blue plane? Because from what i see, theres ground, water plane and that blue plane.

Yea its the smallest map size. 1024x1024 texture map and height (etc) are 129x129. I made it small to speed up the compiling since im only learning and experimenting stuff, so small is good... for now. :) Note that the bright blue are is separate from all the rest, its not part of the water plane or...

Hi. First days of experimenting with mapping and ive got one small problem... http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/8648/taspringblueplaneproblem8ys.th.jpg The blue box/plane. Ive got no idea what that is or how to get rid of it. Any ideas? Its not the water area so i dont know what it is... Thanks in ...
