I like, a lot.. That's frikken sweet..

[Neddie]

Well, this reminds me that I want to make features.

Problem is s3o rendering and probably the alpha too means it is a bit much.

[Deathblane]

I can see only 1 small problem.....how are you ever going to see your men, I mean it's bad enough as it is. Why I can see it now in the post match discussion...

...Ok so just kidding, it's actually shaping up to look fricken awesome

Actually its quite easy to see past the corn from above so you can see your guys without a problem.

[Zoombie]

And it looks cool in angled shots. Nice.

[Fanger]

hrm 4 is too many apparently..

Id talk with lathan, but I would suggest making the corn into swatches of corn instead of individual features, so you have a 4x4 or larger footprint of corn rows that might cause lesss lag..

[rattle]

I'm pretty sure it's the texture size

[MadRat]

Does the corn collapse when walked upon?

[Argh]

Make it 8X8 or larger. Then make it have no footprint and be invincible. Should cut down the lag quite a lot.


Uh, that and I wanna use that to make NB screens with. It looks like an interesting map, play-wise. Lemme know when it's available.

It's probably better to make a single corn s3o with 100 corn plants on it, the feature rendering loop is not particularly efficient.

And when you do the corn/rye/wheat/whatever patch, put some randomization in the placement and make sure it tiles in a nonobvious way. :) thank you.

Randomization meaning that yes they can be in lines as sown but still somewhat off-center. I guess it depends on which age you're depicting and the sowing techniques, whether it's thrown around or a tractor is used.
