Over Crude Water

[Abaddon]

This is my remake of OTA map.

No features, only geothermal vents.

Different from http://www.springfiles.com/show_file.php?id=485 - better heightmap, better texture, better suits for 8 players.

Used tools:
SpringMapEdit
GIMP
Paint.net (.dds conversion for minimap)

Size: 32x32
Start points: 8
File size: 2.48 Mb

P.S.:I tried to make 64x64 version, but it requires really a lot of memory to work with so huge map. Spring engine is unable to load it.




Also, 16x16 version. Not OTA remake, just same style.

Size: 16x16
Start points: 4

I hope you used zwzsg's core prime industrial area water values and lighting values, he got it spot on with that. The texture was good too.

i liked that porcy map in ota

No, i used my own. Maybe in v2 i'll think how to make it look better.

[Abaddon]

Release version done. Height map looks better, OTA textures used, resources balanced.

[SinbadEV]

in game pics?

[Abaddon]

Few ingame screenshots added.

[Gota]

Can you maybe make a smaller version?

Like a 20x20?
Thing is from past experience chances are this map at its current size will not get played at all.

[Abaddon]

Bridges 'll be too narrow if i make map smaller. Maybe with changed design... I'll think about it.

This map was for very long games. There was'nt T3 in OTA, and T2 was very limited. With disabled nukes and no air it was like chess :)


Few noobish questions:
ÔÇö How to change water color to classic gray? I tried to change .smd but water remain blue.
ÔÇö How to make texture pack from spring metal maps like speedmetal? Looks like they aren't hand-made.

How to change water color

Code: Select all

[MAP]
{
	Description=Abandoned Core Industrial Area;
	TidalStrength=24;
	Gravity=112;	//in units/sec^2
	MaxMetal=10;	//how much metal a map square with the maximum metal value gives
	ExtractorRadius=20;	//radius that a single extractor(mine) extracts from

	[ATMOSPHERE]
	{
		FogColor=0.05 0.05 0.01;
		FogStart=0.2;

		CloudColor=0 0 0;
		SkyColor=0.05 0.05 0.01;

		SunColor=0 0 0;
		CloudDensity=0;

		MinWind=0.2;
		MaxWind=10;

		SkyBox=CorePrime.dds;
	}
	[WATER]
	{
		WaterBaseColor=0.3 0.9 0.4;	//color at water surface
		WaterAbsorb=0.06 0.01 0.02;	//how fast different colors are absorbed by the water
		WaterMinColor=0.13 0.19 0.01;	//the min value the water colors will go down to
	}
	[LIGHT]
	{
		SunDir=0 1 2;	//direction of sun (spring will normalize it later)(y component is upward)
		
		GroundAmbientColor=0.1 0.1 0.1;	//ambient (non sun lit) color of ground (and grass trees etc)
		GroundSunColor=0.9 0.9 0.9;	//color of ground where fully sun lit (added to ambient)
		GroundShadowDensity=0.1;	//how far from the non shadowed to the ambient color stuff in shadow will go

		UnitAmbientColor=0.1 0.1 0.1;	//ambient (non sun lit) color of units (and wreckage etc)
		UnitSunColor=0.9 0.9 0.9;	//color of units where fully sun lit (added to ambient)
		UnitShadowDensity=0.8;	//how far from the non shadowed to the ambient color stuff in shadow will go
	}

I could also lend you the texture and skybox from my CPIA and Peripheral Consciousness maps if you wish.

When you get v2 done... Maek poast! http://www.springinfo.info/wp-login.php

Seriously...

[Abaddon]

Updated. Added texturized minimap, skybox by zwzsg.

Also 16x16 version.

Both maps uses OTA texture. Maybe zwzsg's textures 'll be better?

[Gota]

Thx for the smaller version.

I see a lot of Geos. This could be good for KP.

I have to say, I'm kind of laughing at the filesize.

Too large or too small? :)

Too large. All my 5 1/4" floppy disks are double-density - these files would require a 5 1/4" high density disk. Unacceptable.

Copy and paste, I promise, it's that easy ;p
