GIMME GIMME GIMME!

The obvious next step would be to make the trees grow...

I've got a GroupAI that'll do drawings of trees on the map that grow and spawn new trees if you want it ^_^........

You did get my high poly tree model, yeah, aGorm?

*bump*

Any progress? either i've missed a great load of fun, or you haven't released it yet... How soon is "damn soon", aGorm? :p

next spring vsn is my bet
no silly flipping of UV textures, better (i hope) map format (still backwards compatible tho IIRC
)

Chocapic · Post by **Chocapic** » 23 Jan 2006, 22:57

release the map!!!
i command you to release it now!

The Spring UV maps on s3os are screwed. He can't release until next version of spring.

AF · Post by AF » 24 Jan 2006, 13:47

No, not at all, according to him his map is fine in everyway exept for one major problem.

The trees are too big and because of the engine they dissapear and re-appear as you move the camera and it looks very ugly. He had to maneouvre his camera very carefully in those shots.

Zaphod implemented a fix in the spring engine however which is in the test build he released recently, and the svn.

Just to clarify... Its both. Plus realy I need to moddel atleast 3 more trees. But when it don't work you kinda lose your drive... It will happen when I know it will all work out. Probablie like alot of teh other things I wish I was doing.

Or maybe i should just forget about that map and just leave it as a nice screenshot. I dont know.

while I love the idea, I think it might be a bit impractical

aGorm · Post by **aGorm** » 25 Jan 2006, 18:33

What... the map will be?? Why?

aGorm

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 25 Jan 2006, 18:41

impractial is the wrong word. Unweildy might be better.

Reason I say that is because the huge trees will make ota viw a bit of a bitch to use.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea agorm, I'm just saying that it's hard to imagine navigating that because the camera will zoom every time you get near a treee (because they are filled with terrain I believe).

I absolutely LOVE the idea, and I think you should go ahead and do it. However, don't be too too suprised if the map is ahead of it's time.

Caydr · Post by **Caydr** » 25 Jan 2006, 19:23

The nasty truth is that the terrain-filling is a bad solution. It works, but it'll wreak havoc on the camera. What we really need is proper s3o collision boxes... then a solid object will really be solid.

Of course Caydr and Forboding (who have played the map) will know that the camera becomes a bitch to use in OTA view.

Oh, hold up, they havn't played it!!

Not that i dont agree we need somthing better(IE S3o boxes)... but actully the OTA view works pretty fine. Sure teh camera rises up as you hit a tree, but then It doesn't feel taht unatural, because theres a tree there. It feels like you should be rising because of the tree. Hard to explane but it dont feel that wrong.

Its the total war view that feels a bit odd, you notice teh jump in height far more in that one.

I just need the engin to decide n how its gonna do things. And some free time would be handy...
