Some stuff like a couple of the terrains, the barrels, the ferns, the carts, and the barriers are all good. Other stuff notsomuch. You're much better now.

Looks like chimney was bad idea... But I still hope developers will not abandon to build in missed gates at fortresses and at some other structures such as Mauryan Palace. Also fix roman barracks texture and do something with hellenic tiles and shifted to the right main buildings of Athenians and Macedonians. Luckily Spartans civil centre have correct position of main building. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited July 2, 2018 by RukoFiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Roman barracks and walls are getting a rework, don't worry about them. I'll see what I can do about the civic centers and the corresponding decal issue it brings up. This could be a very interesting 'drop prop' opportunity as well. Doors are a must for fortresses, I'm not sure what happened there to be quite honest. If someone else tackles the doors, make sure they're sturdy wooden doors and not portcullises, latter is a staple of medieval castles, also another reason to remake the Roman barracks Does someone know if the Mauryan palace one of those eyecandy buildings that was decided to be buildable in-game? I haven't played them in a good long while... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very important plant for the Egyptian maps. Eh, how? Mapgen doesn't have anything that can really support making those kinds of mountains. I'm assuming the mesa thing was just a model but the rest of those things require mapgen and texturing capabilities that the game doesn't really support.

Imarok Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 What about just using foreign mountains from sketchfab? (And scale, change poltcount where needed) E.g.: https://sketchfab.com/models/2017916480d74e4099ce70f69a9fd22c (Unknown license, so we need to ask the author if wanted) https://sketchfab.com/models/9fe7d680d62e470b8810524f712f9cb5 (CC-BY) https://sketchfab.com/models/944b20dfffc648ff902ba9c3f59c6b8a (CC-BY) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they can be. They can be given an obstruction (and be unselectable) in-game. I could see even backing a shaft mine up to them that players can build a storehouse on a slot to capture and gather metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 its gonna look stupid, itll pop into existence out of the fog of war once you see the center point.

I had that problem with the larger pony buildings. AoE 2 mountains do that too No one ever trusts me. It's why I'm not a joiner. lol One need only a small amount of imagination to imagine some changes made to the FOW renderer to render the mountain in the black map prior to being discovered (could be an actor tag), so that it just doesn't pop into existence. We could use such a tag for certain large objects (such as Wonders). 7 hours ago, Imarok said: What about just using foreign mountains from sketchfab?

Not with that fractal placer thing. Trust me I tried and it was only disappointing and frustrating. It might be possible to generate better mountains and things but it'd be difficult and expensive and way beyond my expertise at least.

Guest Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) I’m not familiar with the placer you are talking about, maybe from YAMG?. Anyway, I was thinking of using a variation of mid-point displacement. Kinda like this GIF that I found on wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Animated_fractal_mountain.gif&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop Edited July 3, 2018 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed my screen colors are so off all the Roman roofs are pink instead of orange :/ It still needs redesigned, I was just wrong about the scale being too big. If anything, some of the other barracks are now too small compared to the archery ranges and stables. The Roman roof colors are fine.
