Tribal Trouble terrain+texture generation code now open

[Gabba]

Hi, I found this while browsing the internet:

The terrain and texture generation code from Tribal Trouble is now released as open source (it's under GPL).

It's not a full-fledged map generator, but maybe someone with Java skillz could use that code to make a random map generator for Spring... just a thought.

If you don't know the game, it has rather nice terrain:

Textured eroded terrain generated by the Procedurality engine

Awesome

This could be a real good idea, nice find!

Neat, it's like a LEDT for realtime use... wonder if it runs any faster or has any real advantages over SM3...

Gonna download it and play with it tonight. I know everyone seems to love LEDT, but I find it painful to use and edit so maybe via this I will be able to do what I would like to do.

Well, modifying the example code to spit out nicely formed Spring-compatible heightmap images looks very easy, for example, but what sunk my last java related mapping foray was the inability to make sense of the format that Spring stores it's map data - which I chock up to not knowing enough C.
