Re: My SMF/SMT Map Decompiler

Hi Prodigy, The only catch with the raw height map is that when saving the project in L3DT, you have to change the heightmap format in the preferences. Oops, I'll fix that for the next release. I apologise for the inconvenience. For what it's worth, L3DT also includes a map decompiler that loads SD7...

Re: L3DT Questions

Hi Argh and Forboding, On the L3DT Pro downloads page you will now find dev build 2.6.0.8, which supports applying the light map to a custom texture map. To summarise the new operations relevant to this thread: You can import your custom texture map using the ' File->Import->Texture map ' menu optio...

Re: L3DT Questions

Hi Argh, I've uploaded a new developmental build of L3DT Pro that supports importing custom texture maps into existing map projects, using the ' File->Import->Texture map ' menu option. This version also includes an updated BMP plugin that supports reading and writing of huge bitmap single-file imag...

Re: L3DT Questions

Hi Argh, I apologise for my slow reply; I've been busy implementing 'undo', which was quite a bit more difficult than one might casually think it to be. Anyway, L3DT doesn't (yet) support a workflow that involves importing a large texture/image drape (as opposed to generating it in L3DT). I can add ...

Re: New map - Alpine way

Hi Guys, Thanks again for the feedback. I've lowered the metal settings, reduced the patch diameter, and flattened some areas near the start points to allow easier base building. I'll upload it once I've finished some more play-testing. how did you do the roads? I used the 'bulldozer' brush in L3DT'...

Right you are. The next release will only list file formats that support the load operation in the import dialog. Thanks for the bug report.

Re: L3dt problems

Hi Hoi, Thanks for the logfile. From the log I can see that you were trying to load an OBJ file in L3DT. However, the OBJ plugin doesn't support loading; it is only for exporting OBJ files. This is the cause of the errors in the log. L3DT can load heightfields in the following formats: BMP JPG PNG P...

Hi Hoi, It looks like you've got a dodgy file I/O plugin there. Can you please send me the logfile? (to aaron@bundysoft.com) You can access it from the start menu under 'All programs->Bundysoft->L3DT [version]->L3DT log file'. With this file, I should be able to work out what has gone wrong.

Re: .:MAP:. Drab

Hi Neddiedrow, You should use the texture anti-aliasing settings to get smoother transitions between the textures of different land types. For any land type for which you want smoother edge transitions, go to the 'appearance' tab in the land type editor, and set the 'blend radius' value to a larger ...

Re: New map - Alpine way

Hi Decimator, Right you are. The v2 archive was compiled from the command line, and I forgot to pass 7z the "-ms=off" switch to disable solid archives. I'll do a v3 with fog reduced, metal patches expanded, and solid archive disabled. I think I'm getting there; thanks for your patience eve...

New map - Alpine way

Hi All, 'Alpine way' is a 16x16 map for 1v1 play. The main feature is a road connecting the two teams, on which vehicles can travel 30% faster. This is the first Spring map I've released, so I'm not quite sure I've got the game-play elements right (steepness, metal placement, etc.) Please let me kno...

Re: If you use L3DT...

Hi SirArtturi, Why does it scale my 128x128 tile file to bigger tiles and not create tiles with this value... The SMT/SMF plugins basically don't support texture tile-sets; they overwrite the tile map such that each pixel value is unique, and hence each pixel in the final SMT texture file is unique ...

Hi All, Just a quick update: Since my last post here, I've added an attributes map brush to the 3D editor. This should make it much easier for mappers to properly texture artificial features like roads, retaining walls, dams, etc. Here's a screenshot of an asphalt road and a concrete retaining wall ...
