Best way to learn is diving into a project ,guaranteed ! yes projects sometimes get to much but a little break away from it and all is fine again , whar ever you decide commercial or commersial and advertising versions , it simply has to show intrest because i am sure many love rts and need ssomething to point them in the right direction especialy when someone does not know where to start or how to do something , although i would encourage you to try and develope your system to be open to accept some custom ai because i think many ultimately want something that they have plenty of controll over to support their game vision but then again this is your baby were talking about here so dont lose faith in it and perhaps you dev it for your personal vision and create a great rts to show of what you learned and made all by yourself so far

I am working on my "city simulation" game.


Finished 2020

Cool project! Are you bending the tracks with bones or by vertex?

I wrote a system which use a mdl file as a template.
The mdl file contains a model with width 0. I place the template
model along a spline and set the vertices to the right positions.
After that I merge all template models to one model.
What do you think, would it be faster to use bones instead to set
the vertices with ent_setvertex?

When the system is more stable and faster, I want to share it with the community.

Dion, that looks great! I especially like the second screenshot, although a flat plane for a forest looks a bit too.. flat

@Bone: Merging all template models to one model is a good choice. I don't know if it would be faster if you use bones, but I guess it would be more flexible during ingame-editing. But I don't know either if you support that feature...

Hey guys,

just a little update this time. Sadly I don't have much time to work on my project at the moment, but however I won't give up on this one so~

Here is a little video:

Tactics Project #3

please let me know how you like it

cheers

@Roxas very nice!
Especially the GUI and camera animation looks professional

Yes , that's Pro work

this afternoon I made a small menu for the lightmapper, what I made bug free last week (bottom right corner). hopefully in the followign days I can assign all the parameters, and make the save/load functions. the 2nd trace length slider is blurring treshold in reality, copy-paste issue and some rearranging is needed...



what I plan to add in future is delete/redraw of static lightmap only under the selected area. it won't be so hard but can be useful (but blurring can cause minor problems on area borders)
