Spring RTS Engine

When you edit models with upspring, make sure the two textures are also present (as files) next to the s3o. Avoids a lot of headaches.

I have 64bit, otherwise I couldn't even compile these maps either :)

103.0 and 104.1-104 and up all crash for me with failed to allocate memory (have 16gb)

EpicLawn crashes for me as well

Isnt a 64x64 heightmap resolution 64*64*(64*64)*4byte merely 64 MB? The texture on the other hand is gonna get huge quick, with DDS compression it is still about 1GB (as engine decompresses tiling) So out of lulz, i managed to compile a 96x96 map with the command line version of pymapconv, but haven...

64x64 failed, 60x40 succeeded, thats all i know for now

PyMapConv now has a 64bit binary supporting extreme map sizes (no installation required) built on:

I know its not fully cross-platform, but a windows binary for pymapconv is now available at the github repo. pymapconv.exe https://github.com/Beherith/springrts_smf_compiler/commit/3c3d051d7619044239c2619193e058456397156e Edit, since its 64bit, it now supports very very large maps (tested 60*40 and ...

That metalmap error was throw because metalmap is traditionally the red channel of 8bit rgb bmp e.g metalmap[row,col][0]. Use 8bit rgb metal map instead of 8bit greyscale.

Is this deprecated or just outdated?

I see there have been recent advancements w.r.t. lua mapdefs, lua metal spots, geo widgets, custom shaped startboxen, dynamic player start positions, and anything else I may have overlooked. I plan on updating a few of my more popular/outdated maps, and I would like for someone to link me to a map t...

Nope, purely my own.

Let me leave this here. Post if you want the code that does it.

Anyhow, this is how far I got with the changes, as i feel it is better to share results than to let them bitrot on my hdd.
(tweaked splats and lighting, more tweaks since last screenshot)

I was never able to put my finger on why I found BA to the best RTS for me, or why Ive spent several thousand hours on it. But you make some interesting arguments.

Added the license.

Found a really nice technique for making efficient and pretty foliage for regular trees.

The trick with the normals is superb :)

Silentwings, I dont quite understand what you mean. Could you elaborate?

I tried to match the screenshot. Better/worse?

Masterful use of specular on your side :)
