New: Okay, looking at Weights.h and what are the weights classified in? weights range from 0x0 to 0x80, can this be compared to the average 1,2,3 number system or a range of small weight/medium/large weighting? Also, is 'unit_manager.unit_type' in ai_controller.cpp a form of detector for what kind o...

Modelling - Do i/can i still use wings3d ? if so, what formats to export? how so
3dmEditor - anything in specific thats useful to remember?
Frag/Vert files - any good links for tutorials? (tried google and all are very confusing for me)
Any CPP files i could look at?

Zuzuf I'm currently trying to gain an understanding of the Shaders, how they work, and how to use C++ properly so I might be of assistance soon.

Flashbang232

Matman, you should get a comp w/32 gb ram, AMD opteron 16 core, 4 AMD radeon diamond series graphics cards (4 per board I believe

)

Also sorry for the quadruple post but im on my phone and i dont have any edit button XD

Also the TaK community wants TaK in 3d. kingdoms.heavenforum.com you want me to tell them that were too busy, it would have to be a while? i could probably work on a tak mod for ta3d. also, an answer to their question, a tak unit cld be scripted in ta3d to behave like a tak unit

Flashbang232

Also, lua shadows? It just seems like an odd idea, but would it work with high quality?

Flashbang232

also for model shading, we can set 'points' on a unit, say each corner on a model face. engine calculates the space between. shades according to an opengl shader. so smooth shading, and a face towards the upper right would get shaded more than one lower left face so it would all work out.

Flashbang232

Well put. The fact I can speak on an eye to eye level with you on this is something that tells me im doing good at learning coding. Also, what wld be cool is shading on units. :) Some simple OpenGL shaders would be cool =). also what about some Advanced OpenGL for some performance, ie similar to Min...

Please?

Flashbang232

Zuzuf, even though im a kid, i have my connections =)

Flashbang232

Not to start a debate matty, but I think this has great potential. A new map format support would be good as it would have proper texxes and HD, lua, realism. we could form it around the code that ta3d uses which would be cool.

Waterline increase? 0.o

(BTW shadows and new wave effects are by me. I added a "negative 0" which is impossible but yet possible, into the water stuffs.
i think water-reflec.frag was one

)

Also the shadows are more detailed. Working on HD versions.

Flashbang232

I want the studio.

BTW what are the specs on your weakest computer there?

Flashbang232

Dude Matman, yeah you can. You av can help coding, i mean hell , you have your own gaming studio!

Flashbang232

This is just a "beta" once i get my comp back i should be able to get this. however fileswap experiences random corruptions and theres a 6 month thing where after that they delete the files

Flashbang232

maybe have these features: hotswapping from battlefield 2 modern warfare. add certain types of shading when switching camera angle. i would also have to add angles and shit and then maybe have a rotation key similar to the thing in wings3d. as for the pathfinding zuzuf, how long is that algorithm. 3...

Probably make it happen with a virtual runtime environment of some sort or an addon. now that i think of it a java environment in an engine designed to run stuff like lua is a bit on the odd side of things. as for what i might be able to do is construct all the data, create a new set of folders and ...

i saw on your list of todos that 1rst person ta is on it. we could use java to give a good addon to anisotropic (up to 16x msaa?) with good fps and then maybe antialiasing from 1x to 2xmsaa - 8x msaa. i could redo the ta models to add more faces and texture quality, as im OK in gimp. as to the flare...

Flashbang232

As for the engine using the data i have an outline. basicly what it comes down to is decompiling the .exe to load the .jar and natives from a directory, say ta3d\JRE\. the engine would treat the jars like it treats hpi files; basicly like a compressed zip. then the engine can use what minecraft does...

Mod Support: Support for Xon's DLL files! This is a must for taescalation players! You will attract a lot of the Russians especially, because of how many are on gameranger, and because 99% of them are hardcore TAESC players. Flies and honey. What algorithm/file is used to decipher the xon dll files?...

Flashbang232

More detailed font? Such as like actually shaded with something along the lines of GLSL or with the same effect?
Or just nicer font? If the second one is correct, why not just enable anti-aliasing on the font to provide a form of font-smoothing.

If you want good performance on high graphics, at least have this: 1.6 ghz processor (AMDs are good for me <3), 2 gig ram, and I added like a crapton of virtual ram <3.

cant we use 3dos for weapons

and use 3do classes?
its a 3d object, it should go good with the ta3d theme

like:

3d yellow lasers > jeffy/pt lasers/2 bomber lasers
3d green lasers > hlt lasers
