The forum title says it all. Generate game tilesets and maps using AI tools. Possible? I see lots of talk about python programming etc. Not my field of interest or knowledge.

What about an art generating AI. Load screenshots of five preexisting and popular "very large" megaglest map editor maps. The AI would simply generate a new map image from our samples. Maybe it works, but, manually translating the AI map image into a functioning map via the map editor would be very tedious. Yet, it may be worth the effort.

This guy shows how hard it may be to generate basic rogue-like dungeon levels:

Does this archived internet archive height map generator still function properly? I've no idea of its original purpose.

Lets see how long this one lasts  :thumbup:

click SHOW ALL to inspect and download individual map files or simply download maps files direct from the maps posted in this thread.


Many of the listed map versions are repurposed four player Glest maps, some of them have been edited and renamed a number of times by various game users since 2009. A few were modified from 4 player Glest .gbm maps to the newer 6 and 8 player .mgm maps found in the MegaGlest client package.

I may update maps and tilesets, but will NOT note the new, updated file versions; whatever is found at archive.org or archive.ph is the latest version available.

Internet Archive: No invasive account creation requirements. Account information data is not sold or traded, and there are no login requirements for downloading files. Because Google Corp is invasive and totalitarian.

Internet.ph: Even more free than archive.org.

All of my work is - and always has been - US public domain and creative commons zero.

Hello. I hope all the "old hands" here at the forum are doing well. So. The reason I'm here typing stuff on the [mega]glest 'other topic' thread is that I'm looking for functioning download links for some of the old Glest factions and tilesets. One of the best old tilesets called "scrub land or scrubland"  and faction "woodsman" made by forum user "Madelf or MadElf" have gone missing from the glest wikia download links. Someone made a copyright infringement claim on the tileset - hosted at my mediafire account. I've literally no idea why or how such a claim could be made, and I missed the emailed warning that the file would be deleted. And now it's gone. Anyone here happen to have a copy stored on a local hardrive?

I checked the Wayback Machine (WBM) with no luck. For some strange reason the old Glest Team seems to have blocked the wayback machine archive spider from taking snapshots of the old forum boards. If it had been allowed the files would've been captured and stored in the WBM server 'software' library.

I'm also looking for some of Titi's old glest factions: Indians and Norsemen and Egyptian. And Wciow's faction "Undead". I've archived groupings of old Glest files (maps, factions, tilesets, glest .exe client) at various (redundant) storage websites to guard against surreptitious and illegitimate copyright claims. Send me a private message for the archive link.

I understand why some people may not want to share these old files - new users mistakenly adding the old Glest files into the current megaglest build and breaking stuff. Yet all of the old files should be archived. It need not be advertised here. No need to confuse users.

I noticed someone redirected download links to my public domain mediafire map/tileset files at the old glest wiki and wholly deleted others. This happened a few years ago and persisted for a while. Nasty, petty, vindictive vandalism. All of the fan mods were supposed to be free, open source and in the public domain to encourage community sharing. Yet one or twobl people simply could not abide by those simple standards.

I also noticed some "woke" phrasing embedded in sections of the megaglest wiki. Slogans such as "all opinions are equal" which is of a class of phrases used as toxic wedges to usurp ownership, authority, leadership or control of; websites, gaming communities, game coding and software distribution.

All opinions are not equal. Especially the specious and poisonous notion that all opinion are equal.   

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!

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

[CC-BY-SA]

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.

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?

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.

Screenshot of Imladris

Eight player maps really grind the cpu/gpu on this computer so someone else will need to do the final build/fine tuning.

Thanks and credit to wciow for the object models and water.tga files. Surface and object textures are derivatives of tiles from the open source Ryzom Asset Repository and Open Game Art.

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

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:

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.

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.

Is anyone willing and able to integrate the new hex objects into a test tileset? Thanks.

Is it possible to create a tileset with a (2 object long X 1 object wide) stone wall with a height a bit taller than a typical worker/archer NPC? A castle turret with 1x1 or 2x2 object dimensions would be a nice visual graphic for connection points and wall direction changes.

Maybe use Titi's Evergreen tileset (with his permission) and replace the map editors object:invisible and object:water plant with objects: stone wall and turret? The Mage Tower used by the magitech Magic faction is perfect as a turret but the height needs to be reduced by ~ 15-20%.

I'd like to create a few "castle siege" maps using this special tileset - is anyone willing and able to design and code the wall section and turret?

PS: I'm aware of the AI's limitations regarding walled playfields but think limited use of walls may lead to some fun gaming.  ;)
