Spring RTS Engine

well, im trying to export a 3do anyways, i'll try use 3dobuilder.

so is there any way at all to export stuff? to any 3d prog?

Im having issues trying to get upspring to export to a file format 3DS MAX can read. I use "Save model as..." from the menu, but when it seems every format I try to export to is corrupted. 3ds won't read any of them.

What am i doing wrong?

Love the heavy URC mechs!

normal mapping is a kind of bump mapping. afaik.

NO! Units need bumpmapping before craters. There are faaar to many units and they are faaar to small for that to be really practical. You might only notice it if you zoomed in on a unit and watched it for a few seconds. Zoomed out, you'd never notice. However, you would likely notice crater bumpmap...

*dances*

Damn. this is really gonna put a crimp in my game till it gets fixed in a few months.

Or hopefully sooner. **nudgenudgewinkwink** :D

How many craters have you seen that are perfect bowls? Bump mapped craters would give you more detail to play with than you can get with a terrain mesh deformation.

my first thought is "aww"

but yeah, mang, when its done! :D

i wonder if bump mapping for the terrain might be an option? I come from a Source Engine background with regards to modding and stuff, and afaik bump mapping doesnt drain too much. The only hitch is how to include a bump map in the map making process. It might be an idea to tie a bumpmap tile to ter...

Oh hells yes. It's pretty much the only thing I play on spring. Fuel for planes is gonna rawk. :D

How's progress so far? A few days ago you were fairly confident of a new release in... uh... a few days. :D

Still on target?

I haven't been able to find this reported yet, so sorry if I'm reposting. The wait command seems to not be working properly. You used to be able to place a wait command in a queue of actions. For instance, move somewhere, wait, move somewhere else. That was really useful for transporting units, sinc...

lol, i could rebalance the colours if need be. also, im aiming for 32x32... this all depends if i can find a computer with enough ram to hold the enormous bitmap. i'll scale it down if necesary. im making this map for me and my friends, so im going ahead with it regardless, i just thought you guys m...

i though i'd post my own efforts http://darkkitten.net/miscImages/taylors_crossing_preview.jpg its designed to be a 32x32 map. its only an approximation, but its close enough, i think. the water colour wont be in the final texture (spring does its own blue water texture as far as i can tell), its ju...
