Spring RTS Engine

don't use bmp, tga.

yes this is the newest.

i will remake the first post.

I am using png as image format.

post the batch file parameters.
post the -z file.
post the -w file.

The black map issue is solved. nvdxt.exe was not in the directory.

But the texture still is not correct.
The minimap, as produced by mapconv, shown in lobby and as minimap in spring:

how the map actually looks in spring:




my setup:
mapconv.exe -l -i -x 500 -n 50 -m test-mm.png -a test-hm.png -t test-tm.png -f test-fm.png -c 0.5 -o testab.smf -z test-compressor.txt -w test-special.txt

test-compressor.txt:
nvdxt.exe -file temp\*.png -nmips 5 -dxt1 -box -fadeamount 0

test-special.txt:
keepminimap;
formatpng;
smooth5x5;

user are you still working on mapConv or is it "final" now for the next time? I would like to do a new version of the MapMaker-GUI to include your new features.

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9406

later i will make more stuff for it, such as a way to easily make smoothing matrices size without have to code lots of lines.
there are more things i will make, i don't remember all.

i still have to add more defaults for some parameters, and fix some more things.

most of the new things will be filters for the height map, or something like that.

is there a place where one could get the sources of the current version? and do you think it would compile under linux?

in SVN you will find the newest, it misses some stuff, from recent editing, i will go check if it is 1.3 source, in the description i made it was 1.2.
it may compile in linux, but i still haven't made support for it, so it probably shouldn't work.

to add linux support, with just a few editing would work.

after looking on SVN a bit, it looks like it is the newest, i haven't released any 1.3 yet, because i haven't made one, i really want to make
the next version of this thing, it will have a new way of smoothing stuff,
and i will try to fix invert y parameter.

No one can help?

try using version 1.2 without -w and -z parameters, i mean use this command:
if it doesn't help, post a image showing the texture, so i can see what went wrong.

Code: Select all

mapconv.exe -l -i -x 500 -n 50 -m test-mm.png -a test-hm.png -t test-tm.png -f test-fm.png -c 0.5 -o testab.smf

Does not change anything.

Same as in:

i mean the correct texture.

Here's the texture I used:

ok, i will be testing it to see if i get the same results.


updated the first post, but it is still not finished.

for me the map works, no weird issues, using:

batch file:


options:
line:
try using the options i posted, if it doesn't works, then post here the messages you get when compiling.

I used your settings, but same result for me.
The output is in test-out.txt.

And there were these (known) minor errors:
- temp directory already exists.
- Could not find ...\Temp*.png.raw

it doesn't finds the tile files, or some thing like that. that was a very common error when testing old development versions.

try moving everything (mapconv and nvdxt executables and the map files) to a new directory in C:\, like C:\mapconv or anything like that.

then try it again, then post here the results you get.

I did that. Now there aren't textures anymore.

With your command line, the height seems somehow a bit broken.





Using my command line, height is okay. But still no textures.



Maybe the other way around:
Can someone provide me the working source files for a sample map and I try to compile that?

that looks like the result of renaming the map files after compilation,
what you must not do is, example:

you have the map files named:

a.smt
a.smf

then you rename them to:

map.smt
map.smf

the textures won't load.
