Kukac has been a mod on this board for many years and has always been firm but fair. If someone with administrative authority deleted his account then they should be stripped of their moderator status and temporarily banned from posting on this board for at least 60 days.

One stable client build and a patcher for bug fixes and new game content.
Currently I have Glest2.0 GAE3.2.2b? Glest3.2.2 and MG3.2.3? on my hard drive.
I stop caring about new builds and new content when mod developers run open-ended projects.

What are the exact specifications? size must be 16x16? color preferences? Do we need fonts or are symbols acceptable?

Go to wiki gaming sandbox and create a template. Design artwork and color themes for the mainbox and a tiling texture for the sidebars. Screenshot and link the image and paste the wiki code here for peer review.
The template design must be done first - this determines where and how information is presented on the main page AND some sub-pages.
Thanks.

Why not design some art and integrate it into some of the wiki pages? The wiki needs more eye candy!

Why?
1) we don't have artists willing to contribute to the wiki.
2) we don't have coders with the experience to setup wiki templates.
3) we don't have users willing to commit time and effort to a community project and see the project through to completion (example mod: dark magic)
I arrived at this conclusion after 1200 edits and six months of wiki work.

Maps, tilesets and scenarios / Re: Tileset Contest!
« on: 5 June 2010, 20:09:35 »
generally accepted as the best tilesets:
* Autumn
* Desert
* Evergreen
* Imladris
* Jungle
* Mediterranean
* New Winter
* Scrub Land
* Spring
* Swamp
* Tropical
* Volcanic
Less popular tilesets but still pretty good:
* Hell
* Pine Woods
* Moon
* Freak Forest
* Meadow
Old and mostly trash:
* Luften
* Shontuz
* Wandergart
* Paint
* Nebeline
shontuz and luften can be found at glest/softpedia and wandergart at eurion and paint may be on an Italian site but I think the link is dead.

Glest 3.2 for Mac OS X and packed for ordinary users. That is, you don’t need any other libraries or data.
If you are new to Glest, at first download the Glest32App.dmg and try running GlestConf. It will check the version of OpenGL and judge whether Glest will work or not on your Mac.
Before downloading files, You should meet the following conditions to install Glest.
* CPU: Intel or PowerPC (G4 or above)
* OS: Mac OS X 10.4 or later
* Disk space: about 120MB
download

Maps, tilesets and scenarios / Re: Glest MegaMap - Burnt Earth
« on: 2 June 2010, 11:20:34 »
Oh, and to answer titi:
The resources were placed for 4v4 MP COOP style game-play but when people play the map with 1v7 AI factions the units stack on the harvest nodes and grind the CPU usage to 100%. The start area resources were placed in diagonal lines between the faction start buildings - the AI hates this and will sometimes try to harvest from nodes which are trapped behind another resource or object that it doesn't want to use.
We really need to define map types, add new map extensions (CBM?) and decide how Glest presents these maps at the new game selection menu page.
COOP/MP/Single?
COOP and MP maps are distinctly different animals.
COOP maps would be designed in ways which break the AI pathfinder but the flip side of that coin is - we can design very complicated, feature rich maps, for 100% player controlled games.

Okay, changed the start area resource locations. Grab the new map from the OP link.
I was the first person to use 7z on this board - and people complained. I used .zip and people still complained. and now?.rar is a problem. /lol/?

« on: 25 May 2010, 17:29:52 »
Slightly modified the map today - new download link on the OP.
This is an 8 player version of a 4 player map named.. ->burnt earth.
The problems with 8 player maps highlight the basic problems already present in 4 player Glest - namely AI pathfinding and resource stacking (CPU grinding to a halt).
The AI will get stuck in almost any circumstance - just run fifty simulations on a simple map and the AI will get log-jammed at a chokepoint or resource node. So, at what point do we accept the fact that the AI is stupid and WILL get stuck? Do we keep defining complex maps down to their most basic common denominator - basically a square map with 4 start points and no objects (can't get stuck now Mr. Stupid AI !)
Trying to compensate for a stupid AI while making maps interesting is the tricky part.
