Maps, tilesets and scenarios / MG and Vanilla Glest Map Editing Tools
« on: 20 April 2018, 01:44:50 »
Hi. I'm looking for a download link for latest version megaglest map editor? Not the one inside the Megaglest client download. I just want  the map editor. Is there a link for that somewhere here on the site and I'm simply not seeing it? I understand the editor is in the client file. 

Is the online editor okay to use in its present state? Are people still downloading and playing vanilla Glest?

I'm wondering which map file types to host. I can duplicate maps and file types for both Glest and MG. That's easy. I just need to reformat all my mediafire maps because some are in a .rar form. Fom the days when, you know, people complained about the cost of downloading 5k files. I may as well do all of this at once. That's why I'm asking.

PS: I've received an invite from Andy to join a modder group. Hello Andy. That's nice. I mashed a few tilesets together, but that was just copying XML stuff and cutting textures. I can't actually code or write XML/LUA stuff or mod. Hah. But I still joined the team!

Off topic / Public Domain Sharing
« on: 16 February 2018, 02:12:11 »
So. Glest and MegaGlest. Both open souce versions have been available   for quite a long time now. Which means there's been a good deal of original artwork, modeling and coding work done here by volunteers. I'm curious to know how people directly involved with MG content creation and modification feel about open source sharing on the MG platform. This is a question specific to Glest and MG only - not a broad question about global intellectual property copyrights etc. etc..

I've a series of questions to ask, but now realize that I need be careful of my phasing. I'll post this as is, but will return tomorrow to post the questions

Tools / tree[d] - tree modeling tool
« on: 28 November 2010, 00:45:21 »
Is it possible to use this rendering tool for Glest tree modeling? import/export to glest?

Edit: the app download is hosted at https://archive.org/details/treed

The developer of tree[d] has approved CC-BY-SA licensing for models generated by this program for Glest tilesets.

Mods / Orthographic .blend file and animation .png
« on: 24 November 2010, 00:51:00 »
Is it possible to use orthographic animations in Glest/GAE/MEGA factions - specifically for building upgrades/morphs or in place of unit particles?  

Example http://opengameart.org/content/leaf-spell-animation.

PS: Can it be used with tileset objects?

Maps, tilesets and scenarios / Tileset: Imladris Reborn
« on: 12 October 2010, 13:19:44 »
amish13/gAMeboy created the Imladris tileset as a thematic companion to his Elf faction and its probably the most ambitious and creative tileset yet created for Glest. The object list has many new models for trees and branch structures and the new statues/birdbath/hanging gardens were nice additions to the original and standard glest statue and caged object models.

The Imladris surface textures are very well done, but due to the method in which Glest renders tiles, some of the unconventional textures look very odd - not because the tiles are bad - Glest just cant render them in the fashion which was required.

I emailed amish and asked for permission to modify Imladris and he granted the request.

Okay, that's the back-story.

Project: Imladris Reborn

*Modify ground surface/water textures - work is already 70% compete.
*Modify the trees - reduce the scale of the trees by 30% or to a height below where flying units are visually obstructed.
*Modify or replace river objects.
*Modify the old flowers and bush_flower textures.
*Modify statue color(s)

Can someone within the glest community do the tree resizing work? I'd appreciate it greatly. The texturing work isn't a problem, the Ryzom Asset Repository really makes this part of the job easy.

bog bodies, which are also known as bog people, are the naturally preserved human corpses found in the sphagnum bogs in Northern Europe. Unlike most ancient human remains, bog bodies have retained their skin and internal organs due to the unusual conditions of the surrounding area. These conditions include highly acidic water, low temperature, and a lack of oxygen, combining to preserve but severely tan their skin. Despite the fact that their skin is preserved, their bones are generally not, as the acid in the peat dissolves the calcium phosphate of bone.

The German scientist Dr Alfred Dieck cataloged the known existence of over 1,850 northern European bog bodies in 1965

High Priority:
The Install Mods page needs technical instructions per operating system/mod file type.

Looking for love:
Getting Started needs work - technical instructions per operating system?
The old FAQ needs some help too.

Has love, wants hugs:
the Map Editing page needs to be proofed.
Map Design Guide needs to be proofed. Needs more user input.

Maps, tilesets and scenarios / Test: Hex/Hept objects need a tileset.
« on: 16 October 2009, 07:35:27 »
I have a request. I'd like the Glest default Forest tileset modified to include two new objects. One Hexagon object and one Heptagon object with both being the same size as a Mossy Rock object. No fancy textures are needed - default colors will be fine for the test. It doesn't matter which objects are removed from the default object list - but please include the default Mossy Rock object in the new modified tilseset so the two new objects can be rendered next to the old Mossy Rock object for comparison.

Mark made the hex objects and linked them here:
Code: [Select]
http://www.filefront.com/14639531/Trappin%27s%20Shapes.zip

I mirrored them here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2nizzoegi5m/HexHept_object.zip

[IMG]http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz136/TrappinGlestMaps/Geometric.jpg[/img]
Previous attempts to build wall sections have failed due to random alignment features coded into the game. Objects lack a "true north" code, so each object is dropped into the game world not knowing the direction it should face - also - objects aligned in a linear fashion in the map editor will be rendered in-game with slight deviations along linear lines - hence the slightly jumbled - north/east/south/west -  object placement and rotation shown on the screen shot below.
 
square shaped objects rotate

Code: [Select]
[IMG]http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz136/TrappinGlestMaps/castlewall.jpg[/img]
So, why not use a hexagon or heptagon shaped object? An object with 5 or 6 sides solves the "true north" object problem - it won't matter which side faces north. We will still have the not-quite-lined-up non-linear jumbled appearance but if the Hex/Hept objects are double size the same way Mossy Rocks are sized - then some Hex objects will overlap other Hex objects - just as Mossy Rocks do - but with 5/6 sided objects it wont matter because one face of each object will be overlapping the other and thus form partially homogeneous wall connection seams. The new wall sections will still have deviations N/S/E/W along linear lines but i think it will be tolerable due to the shape of each object.
