Community Project

#21 I have pathfinding workking 70%. TGE can now generate paths for a level. Once I get the blocking/raycasting working then it will be complete.

Heres a screenie!

More screenies....

Keep your eye on the community page for the resource.

#23 Another screenie! And some news!


I have now fixed the selections, and make a simple "no-image-specified-image". Also, as you can see, the new 1.4 technology shows... Look at the hover-over names!

Next task: Terrain-based fog-of-war.... (not looking forward to that!)

#24 Another update!

OK, so I didnt go straight to Fog of War, but this is neat also!

Now there are limits to building placement, all in torquescript! Well... 99%... Its close enough... ;)

#25 And another! Im on a roll! =)

Most of terrain FOW now works... It needs tidying and such... but it works at least...

#26 Hey im rather interested, but im not using 1.4, any chance of releasing somthing soon I would love your pathfinding and those build areas look interesting. Although tse will use 1.4 when its released....

#27 Wow youve done fow that was quick, does it change for vision distances?

I have partly implemted squad control(instead of single units) btw

#28 John:

It uses my modified visManager, which does the view length.

It checks for each point in the terrain, and checks whether it is visible.

Will be released soon... just touching up!

#29 Very cool indeed

#30 Fixed the Fog-of-War:

rendering times... increased... by about tenfold, gwomp.

After I fix some bugs with the camera on the mini-map ill send it to GG. =)

#31 You could go all the way and add shroud as well (pitch black cannot see anything through)?

#32 How does the white base under your buildings work? I would like a similar feature except I would need grass to display under my buildings.

#33 Its a big terrain-render mod. Its only visible when building, not normally... =)

Shroud is harder, and I also dont like it... so... I dont think so.. =P

#34 When if you are are you planning to post this?, I got your pathfinding recource havent got round to testing it out yet thought. :)

#35 It'd hardly be a community project if I didnt release it!

Hehe!

I sent it to a GG person... But I think the 15MB file is a bit big for the resource area. =)

Either way, it will end up here soon.

=D

#36 Ricky, any word on if/when they're going to release your code?

#37 If you need hosting for files etc, I can provide that for free same as i do for a couple other projects.

Cheers, Mark.

#38 I dont have a clue whether they will release my code, but it is a big file to host...

@Mark:

Clearly you didn't catch my "buy hosting" joke earlier.... =)

#39 Lol, just skimmed earlier.

#40 Will this ever be released?, I think the rts kit has been neglected with all the other things going on. Could you not make a resouce for the fog of war as you did with the pathfinding. It looks really neat.
