i played a game on it and had enough fun to where i uploaded the repaly!

http://replays.adune.nl/?633



for next version, please, please get rid of neon blue ugly water and put these settings:

[WATER]
{
WaterSurfaceColor=0.7 0.64 0.86;
WaterPlaneColor=0.9 0.9 1.0;
WaterBaseColor=0.80 1 1;
WaterAbsorb=0.012 0.0060 0.0045;
WaterMinColor=0 0 0.05;
}

followup, just to show what these settings will do:

[Forboding Angel]

I'm with hunter on this.

[Gota]

Hey,if your gonna release a new version add all the names of the different areas.

[KaiserJ]

i want to play this so badly, but it seems like i timeout just as spring finishes finalizing... stupid ram and pagefile... although... new spring version... mmm who knows

have to a wait a few more weeks until i get my new box :)

and yeah, that water looks pretty spiffy, the nice texture of the seabed is sadly hidden beneath the current texture.

[Beherith]

Yah, hunter is right, the default bumpwater settings blow so hard....
Anyhow, im updating the smd wiki to reflect bumpwater changes, figured out some key info. If anyone has more, please add it to the wiki.

Anyhow, v4 will be coming along shortly, with a few start position changes, and multiple climates and better water and fixed whatever you want.

[Gota]

Shee if you make Mordor all ashy and black with lava ...pfff
I be playing it 24/7 but add names..

[smoth]

names are tacky and I am sure most people don't want them yan.

[Pxtl]

Gotta disagree, Smoth. I find that the names are actually rather nice, as long as they're not too obtrusive. They let you discuss the map and whatnot, and are particularly nice for maps based on known geography (like middle earth).

Is it possible to bundle a LuaUI thing into the map? That'd be a good place to put region names, so that players could turn them off.

[smoth]

disagreements are fine as long as you understand I am right! j/k

[Gota]

Well we cant all be LOTR fanatics..I do not know the LOTR map by heart...

[smoth]

I don't like lotr at all.

[BlueFrost]

cool map mebe ill try it on my 256mb of ram

[smoth]

what the ffffff 256... wow

[Evil4Zerggin]

You still haven't upgraded your computer O.o?

[FLOZi]

Any chance of making the shallow water shallower? S44 vehicles can't cross it. Aberdeen has the same problem.

[BaNa]

I can fix that for aberdeen cause noone makes naval there anyway. Not sure Behe would do it here tho, because this depth is where ALL BA units can cross (sub to tanks), shallower means no subs.

[Beherith]

Sorry Flozi, I cant, otherwise subs and units cant pass.
But you can change it for your mod by adding SMD tags like this:
[SMF]
{
minheight=-233;
maxheight= 9000;
}

Please make sure to label that this is the s44 version both in filename and description.
Cheers

Good example of the need of MapOptions.lua. Pity that it has failed so far... :/
