Remove or change background image
Hi all,
i'm making a new map for a mission.
I would remove the roughness that you see on the map ( see gray pavement )
is it possible to remove or change the background image ( roughness ) of the map??

Re: Remove or change background image
Yes, try springmapedit. It can be downloaded from the map forums tutorial section.
Re: Remove or change background image
yes I know it.. I didn't used it becouse I remember that this program create a not smoothed surface.. right??Beherith wrote:Yes, try springmapedit. It can be downloaded from the map forums tutorial section.

The program has a smooth brush as well.

Re: Remove or change background image
Are you talking about detailtexture? Yes It's possible. With SSMF its even possible to use 4 different detailtextures.

i search here http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... MF#p445989 but i would know more.
I like this textures.
Can i obtain the same result with Spring Map Editor??

SSMF is new map format which supports detailtexture splatting, specular maps and plus lotsa other cool stuff like different grass settings.daryl wrote: what is SSMF?

As far as I know, Spring Map Editor does only support SMF format. So you have to do SSMF stuff manually although It's not really that hard if you just follow the great tutorial made by magnificent Beherith.
What comes to texturing altogether, Spring Map Edit will handle them pretty good and learning curve is low. Just import in the textures you want and start splatting them. Lots of different brushes and methods.
If you want to change the detailtexture in SMF format just open the .smd file and add
Code: Select all
detailTex=yourdetailtexture.format;
And remember to include the file in maps folder ofc.
And if you want to remove "the roughness" just use blank detailtexture ofc.

ok, can the file be a .bmp file for example? And i need to use a black/white format? or grey scale?? i will try this evening...
and I will search tutotial for SSMF format. I like this.
ah..i want to know: Are the maps made with SSMF format more heavy for CPU?

Re: Remove or change background image
Yes detailtexture can be bmp. Just make it blank grayscale image. that will solve your "problem" of roughness...daryl wrote: ok... i will see.. usually i created maps using texture map, height, feature etc with mapconv...

SSMF features should be very light for CPU afaik. And low cpu's ofc can always turn off those settings...

now i'm working... when i will come to home i will try to set background of map and i will read beheriths tutorial :)
thx!!
Re: Remove or change background image
yeah, dont worry about ssmf making cpu lag; it disappears if you disable shadows anyways, which people with weak comps will probably do. it wont make any problems

hola..i tryed to set a .bmp file... and a png file.. but this cover the texture map. how i can set the transparency???SirArtturi wrote:SSMF is new map format which supports detailtexture splatting, specular maps and plus lotsa other cool stuff like different grass settings.daryl wrote: what is SSMF?

ok i tried to do some things:
i change background image with a black, gray and white image and these are the results:
black
white
gray
But i don't like. The colors are opaque
I would do like this:
I also tried using sping map editor but, when the map is compiled and running into spring, the background is "wrinkled" like maps compiled withmapconv:
Is possible to give a "transparent" image as background??

Re: Remove or change background image
I just dont know what you mean with background texture.
But I suppose that you mean detailtexture
Therefore the solution is simple:
Make a custom detailtexture for example size 256x256. Paint it solid gray. Remember that the format must be 8bit grayscale. Save it as a .bmp to your map folder /yourmapname/maps
Then open your map .smd file. Add
to [MAP] section.
Done, you have no detailtexture basically...
