Maps, tilesets and scenarios / Scenario - the three towers

« on: 23 August 2009, 12:09:14 »

I made a new Scenario using the timer method that Silnarm suggested.

Its meant to be played with my dwarf faction but can be easily adjusted to work with tech by changing a few lines of the XML.

You need to add the faction 'clock' to your magitech tech tree and the map 'valley' in your maps folder.

So far this faction is not tested with GAE if anyone can get it working let me know

Maps, tilesets and scenarios / Lua function needed

« on: 9 August 2009, 09:04:30 »

Can anyone write a Lua function which checks a specified cell to see if there is a unit on it and returns the units faction?

Just one catch . . .

You can't use any unit id to specify a unit.

If anyone knows how to do this please tell me.

General discussion / Loading Textures

« on: 16 July 2009, 20:34:36 »

A quick noob question for any coders 

Due to the current G3D format I have several models which use the same texture in different folders.

When the engine loads these does it load a seperate copy of each texture or just one?

Bug report / Crash on start {linux}

« on: 12 November 2008, 12:39:17 »

I recently reinstalled my Ubuntu system since the old one got corrupted.
I reinstalled Glest from the apt package manager.

Terminal gives this error on starting and the game exits.

ln: creating symbolic link `./configuration.xml': File exists
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
void Shared::Platform::Window::setStyle(Shared::Platform::WindowStyle) not implemented.
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory
OpenAL Vendor: Exception: Couldn't open audio device.

Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

General discussion / FPM concept art

« on: 1 November 2008, 12:16:55 »

I am hoping who to find someone can do some concept art for FPM. I'm not good at designing units.

I can't offer you fame, money or power but you will get credited and get to see your idea in 3d as good as I can make it.

units I'm planning to start soon are:

druid - Pretty much anything but a bearded guy in a white robe. The more 'natury' the better.

sprite - This can be pretty much anything as long as its not the same ball of light in the WC series (!)

ranger This is a warrior/caster type unit  who can summon animal pets.

Basically the better the concept art the better the models will be.

Bug report / Crash on starting music stream

« on: 11 October 2008, 20:17:22 »

I'm making a new faction but Glest crashes when I set the line
<music value="true" path="music/music_tech.ogg"/>
to
<music value="false"/>

Glest sticks whilst saying 'starting music stream' and has to be manually shut down.
It leaves the following message in crash.txt:

Crash
Version: v3.2-beta1
Description: Access violation (Writing address 0x1c)
Address: 0043F76D

Mods / Dwarf faction

« on: 1 August 2008, 19:02:22 »

This is the thread for my new dwarf faction.

This new faction is intended to be compatible with standard Glest and the magitech tech tree.

The faction will include 8 new units and 5 new buildings. Hopefully it will be balanced well with the magic/tech factions. The dwarves will focus on melee combat.

The ultimate goal of the project is to produce a new faction which is as close to the original Glest in style and quality as I can make it.

'Gimli' is released, download it here:

Mods / Animation tutorial

« on: 30 July 2008, 12:04:58 »

Over the last few weeks I've been trying to improve my animation skills. I have made a small picture tutorial to help people rig models in Blender for use in their Glest mods.

You can download it here.
http://www.mediafire.com/?c1nemjdwtss


I also made an animated unit to use in the tutorial:

General discussion / Glestimals

« on: 26 April 2008, 09:26:26 »

Glestimals is a set of animals intended for use with the new 'whatsits' code in Daniels GAE. However they are free for anyone in the Glest community to use in their own projects as well. The Glestimals are currently in version 0.1 and are static meshes. The final goal is to have 10 or so animated animals ready for the GAE.



If you want to take a closer look at the Glestimals they can be downloaded here:

EDIT (by daniel.santos 2009-09-18): This thread is in reference to ideas discussed in the old GAE 0.3 planning thread.

Mods / Problem with Blender export 0.15

« on: 30 January 2008, 18:36:29 »

I have been trying to export animations using the 0.15 export script.

The exporter has a problem when trying to export the indices information.

the command line gives :
element indices : validity error: element indices does not follow the DTD, expecting (ix)+, got () <indices/>

I tried manually adding the index information from a straight export of the base mesh but it looks corrupted in G3D veiwer and only some of the mesh is visible.

Also exporting simple animations (locking location keyframes) works fine, but using absolute shape keys produces this error.

Basically each frame has normal vertex and normal coordinates for each frame but no indices are recorded (indices="0")

Also what exactly are the indices??  

Any help would be appricated
