another question about deformable terrain

[enetheru]

wondering how hard it would be to implement a greyscale image to define map hardness?

I think you can do this with a typemap. Have area A of 1x hardness and area B of 3x hardness. It's like a metalmap basicly, but you use different values of red to define different areas. For example from the smd in Altored Divide remake:

[TERRAINTYPE0]
{
name=Savannah;
hardness=1;
tankmovespeed=1;
kbotmovespeed=1;
hovermovespeed=1;
shipmovespeed=1;
}
[TERRAINTYPE150]
{
name=Rocky;
hardness=5;
tankmovespeed=1;
kbotmovespeed=1;
hovermovespeed=1;
shipmovespeed=1;
}

awesome, that's good to know. and necessary for terrain based features so that the ground around them cannot be deformed. whilst leaving other ground deformable. or even just so that rocky ground isn't deformable but sand or dirt is..
