Spring RTS Engine

looks strange, very low resolution in most parts :c

translated the thread (appereantly he just made that as an avatar) and bit of forum with google but seems they are only modding ta.

Kutlass made it. for all ya naabz who dont know him http://totalannihilation.getbb.ru/viewt ... f=24&t=171

some stuff is 'inside' so u need to bother checking all 49 pages ^^

best i can do with spring map format

<homohug>

you know, i think it probably looks wierd because that's a screenshot from in springmapedit. normally maps appear a lot nicer ingame

<homogay>

plausible, SHOW US WHAT U GOT YO

directed by micheal bay? and 85% of the movie is actually some human teen love interest :D ?

Spring map format supports almost lossless quality. SME isn't the best choice if you want maximum quality tbh.

who knows, i dont know russian xD but he got nice stuff there, according to this pw and mine vid some proper tools and abilities either. i follow these sites almost every day, who knows, maybe he will make some pro stuff soon.

oh theres nothing wrong with the heightmap or anything like that; beh gave me a pixel-perfect 16 bit png, and SME i think supports 32 bit depth

its just a shame that the heightmap resolution is so low relative to the texture resolution when you're trying to create perfectly aligned things like building textures; there will always be a 1 or 2 pixel offset in some areas of the map when you look at how the flat and vertical edges align with the corresponding textures

-fixed that for you.

oh yeah, and I will laugh at all the jokes.

the thing that fucks it up is the heightfieldsize +1 otherwise the ratio would be MUCH cleaner.

anyone have any idea why it has to be +1?

Don't align the heightmap with the texture, but align the texture with the heighmap.

Yes. It's the classical post and fence issue. It all make sense when your realize the textures are the segments inbetween the height control points.

definitely makes sense for natural maps, the +1

best i can do for cities and stuff is provide a 2 pixel border between the edge of a roofs graphic and the actual edge. meh, no biggie once you're aware

edit: yeah Z i do it that way, i just said it wrong XD

Damn, 2 days of working on this and I havent done the feature placement yet. Its made for 16way FFA but should play fine on 8v8 as well. Off to sleep.

Can i offer that starting points that are more in the middle should get a bit more income from their metal spots?
Also,looks interesting.
