Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
So I started adding snow patches in order to match the references better, but for some reason the texture is getting cut off in some places instead of blending.

Hmm, this might be the cause of the problem: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?p=367431#p367431ZoomV wrote:but for some reason the texture is getting cut off in some places instead of blending.

Anyway, I do think that wouldn't look too shabby in my humble opinion.

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
hmm I'll have to clean up those terrain textures then.
With the mountains tho, Alderaan mountains are more rock than snow, so the snow covered hoth ones are a bit out of place. However as far as I can tell Hoth_mountains.msh is just a disk and the transparent sections on the texture are what determine the shape, so I'm thinking about grabbing a screenshot of those mountains in the opening shot of the hope trailer, and seeing if I can make a sky out of that.

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
Loving how this is turning out! I was a bit worried because the first screenshots made it look more Endor-ish than Alderaan-ish, but the snow and rocks and foliage are really making Alderaan come to life.
I am curious, however: Will there be Galactic Civil War and Clone Wars eras as well?

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
Amazing job on the sky! This is looking to be one of the best and most accurate Alderaan maps yet imo. The custom sides look great as well.

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
Very nice work! Have you considered adding a shadow map similar to the one from stock Endor to simulate shadows from the trees?

No, I've been procrastinatingAQT wrote:Very nice work! Have you considered adding a shadow map similar to the one from stock Endor to simulate shadows from the trees?
Plus I have never worked with Shadows maps before
EDIT: is there a tutorial for shadow maps? I tried duplicating endor but I am missing something here.
Another thing I need to do is get some ambient forest sounds working. When I did Icebound, they just popped up the moment I started using fel1cw sound, but that didn't happen with ACW.
EDIT2: Are there limits to how many objects you can have? I added a few more rocks into the map and now it gets stuck mid loadscreen.

The name of your directional lighting goes where it says LightName, and you can find end_canopy.tga in the Endor world1 folder.end1.fx wrote:Code: Select all
Effect("WorldShadowMap") { Enable(1); Texture("end_canopy"); LightName("sun"); TextureScale(70.0); AnimationFrequency(0.1); AnimationAmplitude0(2.0, 0.0); AnimationAmplitude1(0.05,-0.1); }

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
So I cut down on the rock and tree object count, so the map isn't freezing on load anymore. Although it means I'm rather limited in adding more details.
Also thanks to AQT the shadow volumes are working (very subtle tho) however its making the grass look weird.

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
I don't think it looks bad per se, but making the texture of the grass a bit darker and slightly less saturated would help it blend with the shadows better.

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
Are there any guides for implementing ambient sound effects? Such as forest sounds and such? I saw the ones for adding brand new sound effects, but I was hoping to use preexisting vanilla assets

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
If you want to combinate the sounds from different maps it would be best to munge a new set, because it allways make troible when you try to combinate different soundfiles that share some sounds. (victory/defeat,..)

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
Right, but right now the map uses fel1cw. I used the exact same file on Icebound and on Icebound I automatically got ambient forest sounds when I started using said file. In Treefall the ambient sounds didn't pop up.Anakin wrote:If you want to combinate the sounds from different maps it would be best to munge a new set, because it allways make troible when you try to combinate different soundfiles that share some sounds.

Update: Ambient forest sounds still not working, however I now have everything localized and battle VO now works for the imps.

Might I suggest using the mini gun model used in maps like landing at point rain? You know like the mini guns from the clone wars series?

Re: Alderaan: Treefall a Old Republic map and mod
I assume you are reffering to Master_Luke's underhand chaingun. I actually used it originally, however this is the Old Republic era, that that model is extremely iconic to the clone wars era.jjonthefreeway wrote:ZoomV wrote:So I cut down on the rock and tree object count, so the map isn't freezing on load anymore.

Update
Progress is getting into the home stretch, mostly working on aesthetics now, finally got the faction balance more or less where I want it.
Also I am going to leave this here
