You´re not really supposed to have water touching bare sky. It´s rather bad design on your behalf than a bug that would need to be fixed.

Please, please, please support some form of 3D import from other programs, e.g. through maya, max, direct x files, etc

please.....

You can use blender or ms3d to import almost any 3d file format and export to .md3 (or .md2 but it´s a bit painfull with blender).

When you are in water, look upwards and jump all the while moving forward, there's no splashing sound when you hit the water's surface after the jump.

We may need a few map design guidelines for the placement of water to avoid visual anomalies like 'hall of mirror' type effects... I suspect that expecting the engine to sort out _all_ reflection issues is a bit much.

MaKKe, it's touching cubes with sky texture. :p that's what you mean ?

Well, that version stay amazing.
Occlusion Culling is becoming perfect.
Shaders need less performance.
And, the amazing thing is i got 35 fps with bumpmapping O__O

Great work. :3

That maps looks suberb! Great job. Where are the textures from?

reply to this message

#26: Re: ..

by cronos on 09/13/2006 17:06, refers to #25

The textures are out of my new texture collection that I am currently creating.
As soon as I am finished with the map and the texture set I am going to make both available to everyone.

It is going to be a texture collection with around 60 Textures in 512 and 1024 and even some 2048 created from high resolution photos with normal, height, spec and colure maps.

Great news and awesome textures, cronos, those would be perfect for the rpg :)
Do you make the normalmaps from height maps?

reply to this message

#28: Re: ..

by cronos on 09/13/2006 17:13, refers to #27

I paint most of them in normal map colures combined with the NVIDIA plug-in or I use my http://www.sensable.com/products/3ddesign/freeform/ClayTools_System.asp to make the moor complex ones.

You’re welcome to use them for the rpg once I have them ready :)

#31: Windows+Linux version

by CrazyTB on 09/13/2006 18:49

I suggest having one package (tar.gz or tar.bz2) with both linux and windows versions at same time.

This way, people who want to play on both systems won't need to re-download 100MB of data that is shared between both versions.

The windows-only setup.exe version can be kept, since it is good for non-advanced users.

#32: Re: Windows+Linux version

by eihrul on 09/13/2006 18:52, refers to #31

The downloads are huge enough, and the Windows stuff is quite a few extra unnecessary MB for Linuxers. We're thinking of splitting up the downloads further as is.

reply to this message

#33: Re: Windows+Linux version

by CrazyTB on 09/13/2006 19:06, refers to #32

Well, a few MB is "nothing", when compared to a hundred MB.

But if you plan to split in sauer_data, sauer_linux, sauer_win32, sauer_macosx; then go on. The people will need to download two files (the data files and the OS-specific one).

Of course, some really-easy-to-follow instructions-for-dummies about how to download and install the game will be needed.

#34: Re: Windows+Linux version

by Aardappel_ on 09/13/2006 19:43, refers to #33

we used to have a .zip or .gz download for both, but then we got windows users not knowing how to extract/install/run, and linux users thinking it wasn't for them or not knowing how to chmod etc. It was as disaster.

If you're a pro user and don't want to download twice, use cvs. There's far less of you than the above newbs, anyway :)
