Spring RTS Engine

No, a map out of Springs!

Then we can call the map

"Springs of War"

Cuz see, gears of war is already taken

what about corrugated steel of war?

Or a map set on a gigantic baloon, so every single shot taken blow a hole in the map and lets more air out, so the map gets smaller and smaller and smaller untill it's a shrivled into nothing.

Misspelling one word in a post does not hinder reading comprehension you fucking twat

Isn't it time for you to resurrect one of your map release threads. Hell, tangerine hasn't been at the top of the topic list for all of 2 days now. Better get on it. Or perhaps when you do I could resurrect all of my map release threads with the purpose of bumping yours to page 3.

I am sick of dealing with underage, self important little kids when I am trying to discuss something that can possibly help a lot of people in the community. But in your mind you have to be the most important thing. So go ahead, stick your foot in your mouth as much as you want, BUT KEEP IT OUT OF MY THREAD GODDAMNIT! I'm trying to accomplish something here for more than my own benefit.

Oh, and while you're pondering all of this maybe you could do a few things for me.

1. Learn to render high res terrain
2. Learn how to use bumpmapping/normal mapping
3. Learn how to properly line up your sand and your water, cause it looks like ass
4. Learn how to place features correctly
5. Learn how to retexture certain parts of said features to make them fit your maps
6. Learn how to make your own fucking climates
7. Learn how to GPL the acronym "LOL" so that people have to ask you before they use it... Oh wait, fuck me, Argh already GPLed "LOL"
8. Learn how to not shit where you eat.
9. Learn what #8 means.
10. Learn how to make heightmaps for shallow water that don't suck, cause tropical in the middle = phail

And last, but definitely not least go to hell and fuck yourself.

Tired of little fricking bratty ass kids.

I'm still having a lot of trouble getting the normal maps to behave. I'm truly tempted to draw the metal designs directly into the heightmap. Thing is, it makes 100% absolutely no sense why the normal maps aren't showing correctly. Seems like I've had this issue before.

I'll have another render up reasonably soon, sorry for the delay. If you haven't noticed I've been in a really shitty mood last few days.[/b]

Calm down and stop taking things so seriously. If it bothers you that much take a break from the internet for a bit.

thanks Ishach, I'll remember not to use that button from now on lol


On the bright side of things, while I was flaming Hunter, I came up with an idea that just might work. Rendering as we speak.

Still not sure what I'm going to do to get the reflective look, but this is a start in the right direction anyway.

HAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH

WOOT!!! Fuckin Got it!!

Well, progress anyway. Got my normal maps to behave correctly. Doing another test render. When I have something I actually consider presentable I'll show it

here goes nothing...

YES, That looks kick ass!!!, Compiling now, have something tangible soon.

Ok First of all I sincerely apologize for fucking up the thread thing, but I want people to see these side by side.

Current Metalheck




My Render





My render still needs a lot of work
but this goes a long way to proving
that metal worlds could be rendered
meaning that we could easily break away
from the default ota metalworld texture
and still manage to make it look genuine.

I'll be working more on it. When I get it done
I'll release the climate.

Hrmph, weaver, mufdvr, and all other l3dt users
(with the exception of hunterw), I would really
like to know what input you have. As I said
it has a ways to go yet, but I have the basic foundation
now, and I think the render looks better than the
photoshopped version. Now I'm excited ;P

Oh btw, forgot to mention, that l3dt kinda farked
with the heightmap a little bit because I was careless,
but the premise is still there.

Forb let me remind you that:


If you don't disturb yourself, like a broken gong does not vibrate, then you have achieved nirvana. Irritability no longer exists for you.

and also:

If one would only apply to oneself what one teaches others, when one was well disciplined oneself one could train others. It is oneself who is hard to train.

Yeah, that one.

Meh, I'm fine. IRL I'm rarely actually truly upset with internet stuff. I get animated on TeamTalk about it, but it affects my personal life none at all.

I do appreciate the phrases.

Why does that remind me of Sun Tzu teachings?

Oh, so I need to learn how to map for spring. Mmmmmmk

I think you got the wrong end of the stick there.

actually nm, your social skills are totally normal

Hunterw, I really don't know why you are trying so hard.

Apparently, the internets are serious fucking business...


So, back to the discussion at hand...
