Stan` Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yup sort of. Need to check if it is updated but feel free to pick a task. I'm sure Enrique will take some time to look at your work. You could also submit an application. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Are these civ emblems already done or still needed? i dont think so, im not sure, The Ptolemies need improves, cut off the eagle head and need be painted and Seleucid may be need be painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the big problem here be don't have active art team members.I know we work with great quality standards. But we are playing with same Seleucid place holders , and there are 14 months, are props not whole set of buildings ( Lordgood works faster with great quality) only needs review to your work.The Mauryan trader is not finished, so Mauryans are not finished yet, now we have José ( the new animator) working with new models, have great quality too.I know this a hobby, and we don't have the pressure to finish, we are unique in the industry. But can be nice take some decisions about art and design team, we need a design team. Because after lost Michael we lost some gameplays features decisions these actually are freeze, like corral but that matter is other topic.

wraitii Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'd like it if we add several more actor entities/props that were a lot bigger and could be used to plot, say, 20 bushes, more water lillies or about half a screen of grass at once. Since the game currently struggles with rendering many small entities rather than few big ones, it could be used to optimize our actor rendering and thus allow us to make our maps better.I'd like to have some "forest undergrowth" stuff too like they had in AoE 3, with some flowers, bushes, small trees perhaps added.Note that for efficiency it'd have to be a single mesh, not several props.Should I make a task for this? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 You could now nobody will review it in a long time if i do it so dunno. Also big issue if its a single mesh is that it wont fit the terrain...I have also been thinking of adding some foliage it'll be as osp in my eyecandy mod for mapamakers.

LordGood Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Stan has a good point, not only would it not conform to the terrain, a large prop like that would only load once LOS reaches the center of the actor, which would lead to large patches of terrain eyecandy loading at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraitii Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Terrain height is something we'd have to deal with (and rely on the mapmaker)... I hadn't thought about the LOS issue though, I'm not sure it still applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I hadn't thought about the LOS issue though, I'm not sure it still applies.It does, and should be fixed (efficiently). Punjab has always been a good map for reproducing this, because there are big clumps of grass that "pop" into view as you explore what looks like open terrain.

historic_bruno Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Rather than placing a premade clump of trees, it would be much better to have an entity brush in Atlas. trompetin17 expressed some interest in working on that. Or since we have copy/paste now, you could copy a clump of trees and paste as many times as you like, even save the contents to a text document for later use (eventually we could have this feature built into Atlas). I think sticking a ton of props together isn't a practical or efficient solution (I don't like it on our farms either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think sticking a ton of props together isn't a practical or efficient solution (I don't like it on our farms either).What is your solution for farm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 What is your solution for farm?What we have now is an improvement over the old farms in terms of eye candy, but it looks too crowded, too uniform and patterned. I think part of that is the bug with prop variants, but even so, they are always going to be precisely the same layout. Some ideas: link several meshes together in Blender into clumps, then have maybe 3-4 clumps per field, they could be randomly mixed and matched (that's still props but at least it's not like 64 of them per field). Or there is the possibility of what wraitii and Philip discussed in IRC the other day, having the engine combine meshes together to take the manual work out of it. And just like a handful of trees in 0 A.D. can represent a forest or grove, a handful of plants could represent a farm IMO Then there's terrain conformance, well I wouldn't build a farm on the side of a hill, around here farmland is quite flat, I would expect the same thing in ancient times. So terrain flattening under fields when they are placed wouldn't hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) See I think the farms are just fine. I like the terrain conform because not all farmland is flat (especially in Mediterranean!). Flattening the terrain beneath them makes like like any other building, when farms are not ebven a building. yes, the prop can be randomized more but that is simple actor changes and some new prop meshes and texture. \ Edited March 2, 2015 by wowgetoffyourcellphone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
