A few things that are needed in the next release.

[TA 3D]

Okay I know your trying to fix some things for the next release, but I have a few requests.

1.) Besides fixing the s3o format bugs, could we please have transparency? So we can make windows, leafy branches, trusses, ect...

2.) In the smd file for maps, the detailtex image covers the whole map. I'm asking if we could have it defined by the type map, and be a function of the terrain type.


[TERRAINTYPE0]
{
name=default;
hardness=1;
tankmovespeed=1;
kbotmovespeed=1;
hovermovespeed=1;
shipmovespeed=1;
DetailTex=mydetailtex.bmp;

}

ow wait I have to do the work
It's a good idea but probably not for the next release....

I agree too...

Also, is it possible to add rocks, more tree types and bushes.
What I mean is, instead of a custom feature. So, a custom
build version of mapcon can use it like the trees and grass.

Does this sound possible?

Hmm... do detail tex's have to be black and white? it would be nice to bea able to do a whole map this way, just using terrain types to blend parts of the map texture into eachother...

No they can be coloured, but they don't show at a certain distance or in the minimap. So if they change the overall colour or brightness too much then your map may will look dfifferent depending on the view.

I used grey and set the contrast very low on mine, but if you balance the colours carfully it should work ok.

No one ever commented on the theramin

Also genblood... its totaly possible... infact I would hazzard even I could add some of teh code in required (though actully prob not, theers always somthing I dont know about...) however i know defining the things is quite easy in the CVS, just a case of adding the reference to them i suspect.

I'm working on some rocks to go on my tree map (obviosly I cant add the big trees in as trees, that would be suicide...) but I'm sure if someone can make a few palm trees and any other type of tree thats thought needed they can be added with minimal hastle.
