Title: Cube Warfare Version 1.1 is Released!
Post by: njam2 on 3 May 2010, 18:37:34
Cube Warfare is a cube-ish type fraction i made for MegaGlest.
No wood is needed to make any of the buildings or units! which makes building an army easier/faster!  :P

Each one of my swordsmen units looks like two units in one. For example, if you make ten swordsmen units, it looks like you have 20, which you can make an army even faster!

Cube Warfare!!

Military Units:
Swordsmen.
Armored Swordsmen.
Archers.

Buildings:
Castle
Barracks
Archery Range
Farm.

Cube Warfare!

All you have to do is to extract this in your MegaGlest folder, Then everything should work fine. :)

Sounds cool,  :)
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: -Archmage- on 3 May 2010, 21:23:47
While sounding cool, it won't look very cool.

Two units fighting at the same time and then dying at the same time, it will look quite odd. Walking at the same time too.........

But still it will be interesting to see what you come up with. :)
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: ElimiNator on 3 May 2010, 21:32:22
I would just make it so units pruduse faster and cost less.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Zoythrus on 4 May 2010, 02:34:26
this would be better if squad combat would be implemented...(not like i havent suggested this before...)
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 4 May 2010, 03:14:49
its a lot of fun i really like it.
yeah it may sound odd but its not that bad, now 4 at a time is Bad! i tried it not so cool.

First of all, you should remove the
Quote
Uploaded with ImageShack.us (http://imageshack.us)
included with every single image...  ::)

Second, you should have either
a.) resized them, just "embedding/..." so many pictures is very annoying or slow...  :|
b.) just post the links...  ::) like how I just quote you...  ::)

Anyways, probably not the best textures, but they look at least kinda cool/interesting. Made me laugh  :O not in a bad way  :|

Overall cool  :thumbup:
even though my reaction is somewhat like John's...err...  :|
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: ElimiNator on 5 May 2010, 06:07:25
Yah, the models are kinda square and a wood face? But keep the work up...
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 5 May 2010, 12:52:46
hey sorry about the pics being so big didn't really thought about that.
this my first time ever doing something getting it to work.
i will be working on it, i know there kine of blocky but i work on that and the textures.

Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Gabbe on 5 May 2010, 14:08:45
I don`t know if this requires a new thread, but its like this topic.

What if you controlled only a battalion or squad, and you could get new units, but very slow, and you were part of a huge army of other independant NPC?
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Zoythrus on 5 May 2010, 14:13:10
i like the block heads, they give it originality! if you change it, i wont play it.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 5 May 2010, 14:53:27
i liked it to.  ;D
now this is only good for open land like with out trees everywhere,i have a good map and i will put it in there with download.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: -Archmage- on 5 May 2010, 17:09:45
It's Glest Box Wars! :cheesy:

Cool, I think I want to play this, it's original! :thumbup:
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: ElimiNator on 5 May 2010, 17:20:23
It would look better if you used wood or block textures not the ones from glest.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 5 May 2010, 19:11:52
i tried using other textures but the only ones that i could get working is the ones from glest.

I might have the download up today.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Gabbe on 5 May 2010, 19:19:54
mhm, upload...

You should try using uncompressed TGA textured, i had that problem at first too...
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 5 May 2010, 19:41:53
k ill keep that in mine.

wow i just played free-for-all with 3 other CPUs and it was a blast!

Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: ultifd on 5 May 2010, 22:51:22
Well, I downloaded it. Now I will test with MG.

What is weird, is that you compressed it 2 times so...  ::) oh well
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 5 May 2010, 22:58:23
o i did?
my first time.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: ultifd on 5 May 2010, 23:11:33
Yeah, it is ok...  :|
anyways looks cool, but one thing is why is the knight and the spearmen have the same move speed? that does not really make sense...also the map you included does not have any stone....so that is not very good right?  ::)
Still cool. good start. original  ::)

Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: ElimiNator on 5 May 2010, 23:26:58
It looks strange because they are so far away when they attack, the spears and swords don't even touch their opponent.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 5 May 2010, 23:39:54
like i said before this is my first one.
i know the map doesn't have stone but it was the only good one i had.
yeah i for got about the speed... and i don't know how, if i even can fix how far apart they are when they fight.

but i think its so much fun when you have big armies fighting others, you don't really care how far they are apart well i don't.
well I'm glad for the one that do like it.

and this won't be the final one, all fix it up some if you like, when i the time.   ;D
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 6 May 2010, 20:40:57
I am working on a new version, Version 1.1   ;D

updates: adding two new units. they don't look like there 4 feet apart when they attack. the armored ones will walk slower then the light armored ones. getting a better map to play on.

hope these updates help when i get finish with them.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Gabbe on 6 May 2010, 20:43:35
Don`t remove the cuby ones :)
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 6 May 2010, 21:37:11
no of course not. my next two units will be like that to. 
Title: Re: Glest Total War

BTW, squad AI has yet to be prooven intelligent, even in the big commercial games.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Zoythrus on 13 May 2010, 19:23:49
what about the squads in "C&C3"? those AIs were rather good.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Fluffy203 on 14 May 2010, 22:36:46
Squads in DOW II(Dawn Of War) and in COH(Company of Heroes). The best rts squad games to date  :thumbup:

Title: Re: Glest Total War

Title: Re: Glest Total War

Which one did you play, when I played the AI was bloody great and so were the squads.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Gabbe on 10 June 2010, 13:07:23
i`ve played all of them, and i think they got same engine. I ment the AI within the squads, notice how they just stand there when plenty of place to attack...

/OT pm me instead
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 10 November 2010, 07:06:59

Please put a screenshot and the existing downloads on your first post. This will make it easier for people to find these things
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 11 November 2010, 15:03:36
yeah, this new version is going to be cool. Theres going to be 4 unit types, 
(swordsmen, armored swordsmen, spearmen, and armored spearmen.)

and titi, um i have already started this post like a long time ago, should make a new one with the downloads when I'm done?
 
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Zoythrus on 11 November 2010, 15:13:43
this mod would definitely benefit from real squad combat. so, when do we get said true squad combat?
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: titi on 11 November 2010, 16:14:03
No better stay with this post, its shows the whole story. Just modify (heavily) the first post ( like all the other mods do too )
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 11 November 2010, 21:11:49
okay titi, will do as soon as i get done with this version. 
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Gabbe on 11 November 2010, 22:43:58
I made you a template to use for your first post, it is not complete, but there werent so much information to use either ;)


i am making a glest mod that makes it easy to make an army and fight with out building a bunch of stuff. Your supposed to pump out units as fast as possible and then take out your AI or human opponent. Currently the mod has 4 units;           

                                                                    "Swordsman"
                                                                    "Armoured Swordsman"
                                                                    "Spearman"
                                                                    "Armoured Spearman"

I hope to be using squad control features in upcoming versions, but for now, i`ll have two soldiers in one 3d model, that would mean that with 10 units produced, your army will look like 20 units.

i have made the spearmen and the swordsmen, but I'm having trouble making the armored units, so i might not add them.
sorry guys. But this means the mod will be done sooner. :)

Hey, I ended up downloading this out of boredom. It's pretty fun!

I have some ideas though....

-Get rid of all buildings except for Castle and Barracks.
-Remodel the Worker, Castle and Barracks into a more blocky style.
-maybe a blocky titleset?
-Give the Castle an attack instead of the two towers.

I had some more... I'll edit laters.

so, Glest + Minecraft?

i can see it being done
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 12 November 2010, 15:59:49
so all you need is, wood and gold, to make the units?
sounds good, i was thinking about making axemen too. <<--- like for combat, not working.

and about the armored units, i have found a way to fix them so it wont be a problem.  :D   
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 13 November 2010, 06:35:00
heres a link to Photobucket, i have like 3 images of the new unit look for the "Swordman" and the "spearmen"

http://s1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa480/Alexgbright/?action=view&current=image3.png#

click on the image to make it bigger.  :)
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Psychedelic_hands on 13 November 2010, 09:31:58
Hey another idea, why not make the two units one tile? It would make the scale more real as well.

P.S new unit looks good!

P.P.S Can you give the Spearmen a stone head? So as you don't it mix up with the swordmen.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 13 November 2010, 10:40:55
I'm done with the mod, but we have to wait for someone to check it out before anyone can download it, its on modDB, when its done i will post the link on my first post.

thanks. i did my best.  :)

will think it through, um by the way the knight and the knight-spearman, look the same but one has a long spear and the shield looks a little different. if this is a big deal i will change it as soon as i can.

i made the scale like it is because it looks more real during combat.

So you're not going to work on it anymore?! D:  This has heaps of potential.  Still I can't wait to see the new version.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 13 November 2010, 11:28:03
no no, when i said done with the mod i meant the new version sorry, I'm still going to work on it when i gets some more time on my hands. but anyways i really hope you guys enjoy it, i know i do. :)   
Title: Re: Glest Total War

Oh okay, good.  ;D

So what do you plan to do in the future?
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 14 November 2010, 08:44:37
you can download it now, its on the first post i made.

and for more updates for time to come, new units, new model for the worker, thats all i can think of right now.
if you have any more ideals, i would love to hear them.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Gabbe on 14 November 2010, 10:15:18
Downloading; It almost looks like this mod could have like 4 models in one, its so many soldiers :D will review when played.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Psychedelic_hands on 15 November 2010, 12:44:57
Awesome, plays cool. Did you draw the new icons yourself?
 I think next you should work on phasing out all magitech units. Which means the caste, tower, barracks and worker.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Gabbe on 15 November 2010, 14:42:48
I think otherwise, making the gameplay maxed out exciting and then make some new models, lets call the magitech ones "Placeholders" if you get what i mean.
Title: Re: Glest Total War

okay lets start thinking up a new version shall we. :)

what would make glestTW better?
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Psychedelic_hands on 3 April 2011, 04:21:29
1: Replace all Magitch models.
2: Ranged and air units!
3: Box tileset?

GAE and MG versions!
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: ultifd on 3 April 2011, 04:22:35
Have a box castle? Not sure, but IMO you should focus on the models before the features...
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 3 April 2011, 04:30:47
okay i have never really mess with GAE and MG so i don't know what its like.

and if any one wants to help with models, then feel free to start. :)
Title: Re: Glest Total War

Well get a tech-tree going... Like:

Castle>Worker>Barracks>Spearman/armored Spearman.
                   >Archery Range>Archer
                   >Blacksmith>Upgrades
                   >Court>Swordsmen/armored Swordsmen.
Title: Re: Glest Total War

Make sure the folder structure is as described in the link I posted before (sadly, not enough modders use the standardized addon format that would make issues like this so much easier, and Glest Total War likely does not use it). As well, note that you won't notice anything when you just start Glest, it will appear as a new TECHTREE (you'd have to choose the new techtree before you'd be able to choose the new factions inside that techtree) in the custom game screen.

BOOOM!!! I'm back and have new ideas for this Fraction. (:
first I'm redoing all of it!!!!
I'm still keeping the block type models but replacing then with new ones and its only going to be one unit at a time but ill make money less i guess. (:

tell me your thoughts and ideas! 
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: Hagekura on 16 November 2011, 12:34:41
I think  the title"Glest Total War" invokes me the Totalwar series games by Creative Assembly pretty much.
You'd better change the mod's name to "Lego Glest" or something. It's much better.

I think it's about time we stop recommending 2.49, since we have a working exporter now, and for a new user, 2.5x would be easier to use (just to older users it seems more difficult, since the location of everything is changed).

The textures are done almost the same way.
Select the object, go to the properties window (formerly known as the buttons window), and choose the textures "tab". By default, there should be a blank texture already (if not, click the "+ new" button). Now use the "type" option box to change it to "image or movie". Now in the image section, click open and choose your texture. This will link it for export, so the texture will export properly (on a side note, make sure you have the absolute latest version of the exporter, the older versions had some bugs with UV mapping).

If you want to also be able to see the texture in Blender's 3D window (in texture "viewpoint shading"), select the model in edit mode and in the "UV/Image editor" window, open an image.
Title: Re: Glest Total War
Post by: njam2 on 21 November 2011, 18:37:20
i cant get the UV to work, like i can get the editor to work and in texture mode i see that i can fix it around but how do i set the model to UV?
in the 2.49 there was a button in the Materials where i could switch it.


nvm i found it!!!!

Deleting topics is something we like to avoid. If you really want to start over, you can lock this thread and start a new one. Not sure why you want to, though.
Title: Re: Cube Warfare
Post by: Omega on 30 November 2011, 04:35:59
There's nothing to be achieved by deleting topics, and "restarting" onto a new thread is a bad idea, as it splits up the discussion. Just edit your first post when necessary. When there is not a more recent post, you are able to remove your own posts, but entire threads which contain others posts are not your "property". Sure, the first few posts in reply to yours may be outdated, but that's the way forums work (technically, it's possible to re-arrange posts to show the most recent first, personally, by ticking the "Show most recent posts at the top" box in Profile > Modify Profile > Look and Layout, though I can't personally recommend that, as generally the most important post in a thread is the first one).

Is there any particular reason to need a new thread when you can change the title any time (edit the first post and modify the title of that), can add polls (link at the top, presuming you created the thread), and can modify the first post to reflect the mod's current progress (should be self evident)?

i have never had this problem before, my team texture isn't working in game.
I'm not doing anything different, the only thing i change was the version of blender. (blender 4.9 to blender 2.6.2) i am using the right exporter.
thanks for the help. :)

If Double Sided is checked in on the mesh, it will be team, unchecked transparent.

Incorrect.  That's for the 2.49 version, not the >2.5.

Quote
Single sided or double sided can be toggled object data tab in the properties window, by ticking or unticking the double sided box. This defaults to double sided, which means the faces from both sides of the model, compared to just the side the face's normal points.
The usage of teamcolour or transparency is toggled in the materials tab of the properties window. Under the options header, if "face textures alpha" is ticked, alpha in the texture will become transparency. If unticked, as is the default, alpha will be replaced with teamcolor.
https://docs.megaglest.org/G3D_support (https://docs.megaglest.org/G3D_support)

Double/single-sidedness is now independent of team color, as it should be, and as it already was with the 3DS exporter.

I see that you made a new castle model. Does this mean that you're making other new models as well? ::)  Cause that'd be awesome!

Like the re-size :thumbup:
Title: Re: Cube Warfare
Post by: njam2 on 6 April 2012, 02:58:24
yeah i am going to remodel some others.
the size of the units will be a tie bit bigger.. maybe. :)
Title: Re: Cube Warfare
Post by: njam2 on 6 April 2012, 05:25:05
Okay need some insight on this.
should i keep the units like it is with only one unit (1x1) or change all the models for the (2x1) units?
in other words do you guys prefer (2x1) or (1x1)?

if i keep the (1x1), i will change the farm model, the music, and add a few units like throwing spearmen, and 2 handed swords men.
if i go ahead and use (2x1) ill have to change the worker models and redo all the units again.

so I'm good ether way, whatever you choose.  ;D
thanks.

You do realize that the reason for the change is because the usage of the double sided value was wrong, right?
Title: Re: Cube Warfare
Post by: Mr War on 6 April 2012, 08:24:06
njam, 1x1, 2x1 and 2x2 are all good, why not all three variations. 1x1 is basic, 2x1 is more expensive, 2x2 is the most powerful. Also, maybe a triangle of three units would work well.

If you look at the Terracotta soldiers in Warlords faction (Imperial II tech tree) there's another example of a 2x2 unit. The issue I found there was that because I was copying the mesh/bones, when I animated one model, all four moved. Maybe you can de-link the bones but I just lived with it.

re blender. 2.49 works fine, I use it and the team color works just fine.

Post by: njam2 on 6 April 2012, 22:12:22
I'm going to do 2x1 for swordsmen and armored swordsmen
1x1 for my two handed swords men (super unit)
1x1 for archers and workers.

here is a image of my two handed swordsmen will look like except he will have a different texture.

i tried the understanding the Addon install but i can't figure it out..
for now just extract it in you Megaglest folder and it should be a new tech friction.

I know I'm dumb for not understanding but if someone could explain the Addon thing better, that would be a huge help!
And a big Thank You!

I played a couple of custom games. Can see lots still to be done, but what's there is great! Huge fun, very characterful. Dare I say it,.... cute. Sending your troops off is a bit like watching bunnies hopping towards a combine harvester.

You probably realize this but the worker model changes scale when cutting wood ;)
Title: Re: Cube Warfare Version 1.1 is Released!
Post by: njam2 on 11 April 2012, 20:50:00
Thanks for your input  Mr War.  :D
i did notice the worker, i was getting lazy so i get rid of wood for now, but i will fix it for the next release. :)

how do you like the building models?
and what are some of the things that would be awesome if i fixed it?

i love working on this on the weekends and I'm also doing it for my school. :) 
Title: Re: Cube Warfare Version 1.1 is Released!
Post by: Mr War on 12 April 2012, 06:09:35
The buildings are great. If I had one observation, it's that the normals look dull. This is something I've suffered myself when modding, and let go in the past. And is a fair amount of effort to fix I think, at least it is the way I do it. For better lighting, more definition between front and sides etc, try making each face (eg side, front) have different nodes. So you end up with many more nodes but same number of pollys. That way when you auto-normalize each face will have a distinct direction, where as currently they are averaging across multiple faces.

The way I do this is to duplicate the mesh and delete different faces from each version, then auto normalize and move back so that by eye it looks like the original single object.

Hope this is helpful.


Also, are you planning any defense structures?
Title: Re: Cube Warfare Version 1.1 is Released!
Post by: njam2 on 12 April 2012, 23:31:38
( it's that the normals look dull) forgive me but i don't know what normals are, Or nodes so i didn't really under stand that..
but when i get some time i will look into it. :)

yes i do plan on making defense structures. :)

i plan on re doing the castle and barracks
get rid of the archery range (maybe).
adding a warehouse for the workers to gather gold and wood to if they run out or to get some faster.
adding a defensive tower
adding a new unit!

I haven't played this yet(kinda busy with school and working on a big project for y'all), but I have an idea. :D

Make a cube version of my Spearman model (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=8104.msg80792#msg80792)?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Title: Re: Cube Warfare Version 1.1 is Released!
Post by: MightyMic on 14 April 2012, 02:31:09
I just finished playing a game and it was pretty awesome how many units I could produce in such a short amount of time :D

A Spearman would be great! I think he should have a range of 2 or 3 and should stab the enemy when attacking rather than whacking the enemy like the swordman/guard (just to change it up a bit).

Clever of you to split the archery range from the barracks and it works too, though I think the archery range shouldn't have the castle-like part on the side and instead of being wide, should be long (with pretty much only targets and a fence... and tables possibly) then when producing a unit you could show an archer training! (kinda like the gladiators in Romans)

It's getting pretty cool! (I like how fast you can build up an army ;D)
Title: Re: Cube Warfare Version 1.1 is Released!
Post by: njam2 on 14 April 2012, 08:08:31
Thanks MightyMic
building an army fast was the idea from the start, the cube like models were the best i could do and before i knew how to import. But people liked the cube models so i kept with it. haha

Thanks for the input on the Archery range, i was thinking about getting rid of it but changing the model works.  :D

i have many changes and new ideas that i plan to get working on as soon as i can.   ;D

lately i have had some time on my own, getting bored so i started playing MG again and fell back in love with it!
MegaGlest is such an awesome free linux game and I'm getting back into it!

the g3d exporter for blender 2.6 has made it so easy for me to export and import models without taking a lot of my time.
I'm going to start working on my fraction again, i have had a few ideas that should make it better. ha

anyways heres some of the things I'm going to (add and change)
I'm not going to use 2 units in 1 anymore. (i know that was the point from the start of this but i don't think its going well. DON"T WORRY! its called Cube Warfare, there still going to be big armys and stuff!) ha

new Archery range model.

maybe even a new unit!

and something i have not yet seen in this game! (its a secret)

could this be my g3d exporter?

Hmm, I'm really not into modding, but I know where the wiki page on team color (https://docs.megaglest.org/Teamcolor) is, does this help? I also remember that titi was discussing his lack of happiness about a, once again, modified Blender API in current versions and that he needed to fix the exporter - which I think he said he succeeded in recently.

That's already old and wrong for the newest exporter. Better use this page:
https://docs.megaglest.org/G3D_support#Model_preparation

You probably forgot to check team color in the G3D poperties panel. You might wanna update your exporter beforehand, just to make sure you have the newest one (should show up in blender as version 0.5.2).

Nope. If we ever adopt another model format, it may be possible, but G3D models don't save bones, so there's no plausible way (yet, anyway) to import an animation. Shape keys are imported, but not sure if they have any real use.

Always keep the blend files of your models!

Deleting a mesh can be easily done with g3dhack.

No need to remodel.

One can somehow use shape keys for animation, but i don't know how. If someone could tell me how, i can probably add it to the importer and we can re-export imported animations. Though, you can't easily edit imported animations 'cause you won't get bones.

I think it's the exporter that would need modifying. Previously, the importer would import shape keys (the current version does not). When you checked each frame in Blender, the model would appear to have retained its animation, however, when exported, the model would always be exported as the first frame only (in other words, the shape keys were ignored by the exporter). Granted, shape keys would be a royal pain to modify (if possible), but if the shape keys could be exported (and thus would have to be imported again), small changes like swapping a weapon would be possible by simply animating just the weapon.

So I think the first question that would have to be answered is: can shape keys be exported (or more accurately, can the exporter be tweaked to export shape keys?).

Yes, it should work. Already thought about this before, but dismissed it because it feels so hacky. When i find some time i might give it a go.
