Those ground plates make base's look more like, well, base's and less like a random assortment of nonconnected buildings. Good show.

i thought that's how the shadows were supposed to look...

Can a building have 2 ground-decals?

I like your sand/asfalt/gravel thing, but i also like the metal thing..

maybe you can make one large decal with asfalt on the outer rim, and the metal one on the inside.. But as i said earlies, watch out for strange deformations on 'not-flat' terrain.

it can only have one ground decal. Also, if you want to avoid deformation you can simply keep the decal within the range of the footprint.

hmmm. i didn't realise i was that poor

. the x800 GTO works fine for everything else

Shadows are optimised for NVIDIA, so GTO x800's (mine included) don't quite cut it.

i reckon there's enough of the image not under the squid logos to recreate it, considering it's tiled in the first place

how abaut making decals more flexible... so we could make decals under any object.

Yes... but's that's stealing... sort-of... recreting isn't.

AND MAKE THEM SPIN AND MAKE THEM SCRIPT CONTROLLED SO I COULD PUT COOL MAJIC RUNES SPINNING AROUND LIKE IN DAWN OF WAR!

Masse · Post by **Masse** » 22 Jun 2006, 17:06

i was thinking of something way more simple like making "shadows" from decals

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 22 Jun 2006, 17:08

Not that you people care:

OMG shaddows..

Masse · Post by **Masse** » 22 Jun 2006, 17:10

very nice smoth... but i meant making shadows for moving units from decals

SinbadEV · Post by **SinbadEV** » 22 Jun 2006, 17:13

why would you need decals as shadows when we already have dynamic shadows?

Masse · Post by **Masse** » 22 Jun 2006, 17:16

i could only show how much prettier it makes "shadows" if it is as decal just a blob under unit looks nice
