MegaGlest / Re: Big maps.

« on: 18 May 2020, 11:19:22 »

big maps are big requirements for your pc i guess. the bigger the map, the more it loads, the more it loads, the slower it is empty or not empty its still big.
thats my guess at least im no expert

Tools / blender 2.8 - g3d exporter no longer possible ?( Updated )

« on: 18 May 2020, 11:16:23 »

Hi guys, i decided to continue my mod, but i just noticed that the g3d exporter script doesnt work in the 2.8 blender version. Is there a way to fix it, or the script needs updating ? i cant downgrade blender without downgrading the many many library and dependencies or whatever (im not expert) i tried to downgrade it, but it keeps crashing. any ideas ?

Mods / [question] Custom mod does not work in network game

« on: 16 May 2020, 09:12:05 »

Hello!

I have made a custom tech and a pack for it. It works just as intended, everything is all right, except me and my friend cant play it in network game. I have sent it to her, she downloaded, placed it in the mods folder just like i did, and in singleplayer everything works just fine. but when i go to an internet game, chose the tech pack, and when she joins on the server (one of the public ones) for some reason, it switches back to something default like the megapack, or sometimes a previusly chosed mod of mine which she doesnt even own. Why it does that ? how can i fix this issue ?
(we tried to put it near the core techs, near the mods, rename it, etc. each time it worked in singleplayer, but does this weird swap back in network game)
pls help, thanks.

Are you going to stick to some historical realism or more fantasy?

i guess the trojan horse and the ball guys tell its not really realistic

btw i got to test it with you, and it was like the old, but its really re-mastered
i really like the new form of it. except that chickens are loud....

thanks for the explanations guys!
now i understand what i did missed untill now i wasnt realy requesting them, (coulse it would be done already, propably a lot of us asked for them) i just wanted to know why, and what happened and stuff. so now i know them i like the way MG is, otherwise i would play 0AD or something instead but MG has thoese litle things that its good at, and i love them i still want to improve it, so i will learn coding it, and i will try to develop it if i manage to get there :DD

yeah, i wasnt thinking about ai ... newer tryed GAE, so i dont know how it uses water units and so on... but the possibilities could be there, but the main techtrees of course wont use them as they dont do it now, but others (like me) could make a few techtrees, that has theese cool features, and in pvp they would be wery cool.
i want to work on getting better in coding MG, but that is a long way to go from here. i wish i could help in it now, but i can only ask for theese features currently xP

lol thx, i realy hope i will become a good modder!

yeah, i know ai cant use it, but its quite fun seeing them build strange wall systems for no reasons .... i tought it doesent build just random, i tought it builds by dephences of warriors and stuff to beat the opponent.

MegaGlest / GAE features

« on: 17 April 2019, 19:34:40 »

Ahoy there!

I saw a lots of awesome features of GAE. and i also saw, that its abandoned now :/ i dont know a lot about how this works, but why GAE isnt merged into MG or something ? at least thoese simple things like "generate" and fields: any_water and a few more stuff. thoese are awesome features, and i want them in MG!
in my opinion theese changes, could cause mayor changes in gameplay in a better way! the old style will stay, but with a lot of extras like boats that carry people, or markets (market is still possible, but its quite odd) and a lot more that dephends on imagination! the game may become ewen more popular. i would realy like to help in this, but im a wery starter at programming.

i hope we will find a solution!

thanks for the reply, i managed to learn the basics, and i realy love modding MG the api is just awesome, its super easy! and i newer used blender and stuff before, but you guys helped me, so that is ok too. now i made some walls, and a gate for them, witch can open and close itself with animation so im wery happy that i managed to make it, thanks to all of you who made the wiki and helped me!
the glest guide could be helpful, but we will live without it i hope lol ...
i understand that you have family, or just have your own life, and that is fine, and sould be like this. still an outstanding job, and feel free to ask us to do something instead of you

Thanks err... where do you mean I should publish it? I suppose it could be added to the megaglest docs...
Ps. There was an error in the original video (black screen at the end) so I re-published it. Could you check if the new video works for you? :-)

i mean publish it to the wiki page or something. and yes it works fine, still awesome help, thank you again!

Tools / problem with rendering g3d files

« on: 7 April 2019, 20:11:17 »

i have a problem with rendering. i followed the instructions on the wiki, and it gave me this error:first texture slot in first material isn't of type IMAGE or it's not unwrapped, texture ignored
i saw that others had this problem, but i never saw an answer to my problem. they only said that we need to add a material. well, i did so, in several ways for example with cycles render, blender render, texture via material, texture near metarial, used UV editing , unwarped it, and so on that i learned from tutorials. bun none of them worked for me, it keeps giving me this error abowe.
PLEASE HELP ME! im totally out of ideas what to do to fix it :DDDD

(glest guide doesent works owerall)

Which wiki are you talking about?

This? https://docs.megaglest.org/Main_Page

Or this? https://glest.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page

They are both accessible to me.

Do you have any idea on what factions to work on?

i found the link in the first wiki you shared. but that link didnt work. i didnt know about the second one, so that may answer my questions
i do have an idea: cavemans. with dinosaurs and stuff. it wont fit so well, in the age, but we can still make a "they use dinosaur" faction...

Hi Elvas. Welcome to MG.

I think the link you want is at https://docs.megaglest.org/G3D_support

As for the sizes, it depends. If you load a few existing models into blender you can see how big they are. For example, the "main" building for each faction is about the same size. Fighters are about the same size as well.

so there is a g3d support stuff, that lets blender open g3d files ? i tought they can be only viewed by g3d viewer or something.
thank you booth, ill check out all stuff
