IceX 2.0 Release Version

(Deutsch weiter unten)

IceX2 is out now. Check the IceX2 website at www.stonehill-online.de.

Here are the informations copied from the website:
1.) Features
- Edit in Realtime. What you see is what you get
- Tile based terrain system with seemless LOD
- Precalculculated shadows with colored gouraud shading and cast-shadows
- WMP-Levelexport for all 3DGS editions
- Perlin Noise terrain generator and heightmap import/export
- Multiple entity editing
- A6 physicsengine for all entities
- There's a watershader with realtime reflections (only with shaderversion 2.0 and above)
- Deform and Painting the terrain
- Multitexturing on terrains which works even with GeForce2
- Create road with a few clicks with the roadgenerator
- Customize the environment. Fog, view distance, skycube etc...

2.) Compatibility and Requirements:
- IceX 2.0 needs a graphics card not older than a GeForce2 (for fixed functions pipeline effects)
- For exporting levels you need at least 3DGS A6.31
- Standard and Extra edition don't have materialeffects (no multitexturing). With this edition the terrains will have less quality after exporting.
- A pixelshader 2.0 card is required for using the watershader. If you want to export water you must own 3DGS professional edition
- There's also the 3DGS professional edition required if you want to use the physicsengine after levelexport

IceX 2.0 Editor is avaiable at www.stonehill-online.de and costs 12,95 EUR (~15,50 USD)

PS: The manual it not yet avaiable. It's avaiable the next 4-5 days.
----------------

IceX2 ist endlich fertig. Alle Einzelheiten auf www.stonehill-online.de

Hier die Informationen von der Website kopiert:
1.) Features:
- In Echtzeit editieren. What you see is what you get
- Teilst�ck-basiertes Terrain mit nahtlosem LOD-System
- Vorberechnete Schatten mit farbigem Gouroud Shading und Schlagschatten.
- WMP-Levelexport f�r alle 3DGS-Editionen
- Perlin Noise Terrain Generator und Heightmap Import/Export
- Multiples Editieren von Entities
- Es kann die A6-Physikengine auf alle Entities angewendet werden
- Es liegt ein Wassershader mit Echtzeitspiegelung bei (erst ab Shaderversion 2.0)
- Mit den Terrainpinseln kann das Terrain verformt und bemalt werden
- Multitexturing auf dem Terrain das aber einer GeForce2 Karte funktioniert
- Mit dem Roadgenerator k�nnen automatisch Wege angelegt werden
- Umwelteffekte wie Nebel, Sichtweite, Skycube, etc... einstellbar

2.) Kompatibilit�t und Anforderungen:
- IceX 2.0 ben�tigt eine Grafikkarte die nicht �lter wie eine GeForce2 ist (wegen Fixed Functions Pipeline Effekten)
- Um exportierte Levels nutzen zu k�nnen wird mindestens eine 3DGS A6.31 Version vorrausgesetzt
- Die Standard und Extra Editionen unterst�tzen kein Multitexturing. Deshalb haben die Terrains nach dem exportieren in diesen Editionen eine schlechtere Qualit�t
- Um den mitgelieferten Wassershader nutzen zu k�nnen braucht es eine Grafikkarte mit Pixelshader 2.0. Und f�r den Levelexport die 3DGS Professional Edition
- Nach dem Levelexport funktioniert die Physikengine ebenfalls nur mit 3DGS Professional Edition

IceX 2.0 Editor ist verf�gbar auf www.stonehill-online.de und kostet 12,95 EUR

PS: Das Handbuch ist noch nicht verf�gbar. Es kommt erst die n�chsten 4-5 Tage.

Zum Test habe ich es auf der Arbeit unter dem IE nochmal ge�ffnet, dort geht es NICHT !!! Vielleicht liegt es am IE ?!? Bis denne G.S. P.S.: Ich habe auf dem Rechner bei der Arbeit auch OpenOffice installiert. *Neue Webseite!! Mit vielen neuen Infos! http://www.2662-thegame.de.vu*

If you export the level created by IceX 2.0 to 3DGS then the terrain is all broken up, the height of all the terrain tiles is totally messed up. This even applies to the test level you can download, not sure what testing this program went through .. but it must have been pretty minimal. Also I cannot place buildings ('level dateien (*.wmb))' on my terrain, the program just crashes when you try to paste the building into the level. I think an update is forthcoming, but I recommend that you do not buy this program until you read here that it is functional! Andy

As far as I tested it, IceX2.0 only messes them up, if you use the heightmap generator. And, yes, it doesn't work with level entities, only sprites and models for now. http://www.puppenheim.org/ http://www.wuerfels-welt.de Old Game Tutorial: http://www.puppenheim.org/MITutorial.zip Free Game Editor: http://puppenheim.org/AlienalsWeihnachtsmann.zip http://www.puppenheim.org/blender_starting_main_settings.txt

No editing at all done on it. That isn't possible. Can you tell me each step? Did you use the procedural heightmap generator, did you compile and open it in WED? I exported several test maps, terrain and models without problems. http://www.puppenheim.org/ http://www.wuerfels-welt.de Old Game Tutorial: http://www.puppenheim.org/MITutorial.zip Free Game Editor: http://puppenheim.org/AlienalsWeihnachtsmann.zip http://www.puppenheim.org/blender_starting_main_settings.txt

Following workaround should work till the update: Delete the following line in the icx_terrain action in the exported script: Quote: my.z = my.min_z; This works, as far I tested it now, only for terrain properly. Within a tiled model-terrain there are still gaps. Possible reason: the terrains have, without exeption, a common NULL-bottom. The models don't. A solution: add a vertex to each model prototyp at the origin which can't be effected by the modifications within IceX2.0. But, I don't know wether this could effect the collion of the models. http://www.puppenheim.org/ http://www.wuerfels-welt.de Old Game Tutorial: http://www.puppenheim.org/MITutorial.zip Free Game Editor: http://puppenheim.org/AlienalsWeihnachtsmann.zip http://www.puppenheim.org/blender_starting_main_settings.txt
