When you unwrap and do all that crap in Blender that produces a Targa file, how do you get Alpha in it, I think I found a way, but there just has to be a better way!

General discussion / GAE Features/Bugs
« on: 18 December 2009, 15:49:03 »
I think this should be the place to post new features you would like to see in GAE, and a place where you can post problems/bugs.
Post, and I'll add them to the list.
Features:
-(AI) I'd like the AI to defend themselves and their allies above any offensive actions.
-(AI) When multiple forces are attacking/defending, I'd like allies to split their troops into groups and support all of their allies.
Bugs/Problems: (red= problems)-(green= solutions)
-(Pathfinder) Sometimes when you tell (a) unit(s) to move somewhere one unit goes off in a random direction, and takes this extremely long path all around the map then goes to the spot where you told them to move. That unit usually ends up stirring up other teams.
-If the AI doesn't know where you are, why do they send a searcher right at your camp.
--Have the AI send searchers to random locations, or have them send searchers to locations near their enemies camp but never at it.

Mods / Mod Repository
« on: 14 December 2009, 13:27:19 »
I think we need a repository and some kind of program to access the repository and install mods in your Glest installation.
It might be a bit of work but it will be so convenient, then the last obstacle would be able to make it so you can update the repository easily.
It would have to be cross-platform.

Mods / New Monster Model! - WIP
« on: 13 December 2009, 06:43:42 »
I'm working on the base model now, from scratch.
Pic: http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/6491/monsterm.jpg
I made this from scratch, and when I release it to the public, it will be under a GPL and CC-BY-SA-3.0 dual license.
Which means, I will want credits if you use this or base anything off it, anybody can use it without asking me or anything, as long as they give me credits.
I'll probably release it in a month or two.
Current Status:
Base Model: 1006 polies
Texture: None.
Rig: None
Animations: None

Mods / Texture Help.....
« on: 1 December 2009, 18:26:55 »
I made a wall model, and I want to texture it but I'm having trouble...........
.blend File
Current Texture
What did I do wrong?
Make sure that the current texture is applied to the .blend file, and export, look at it in the G3D viewer. The texture seems to just randomly lay itself over the model, I know that I put color in the right places!
I also can't seem to get alpha in the texture!

General discussion / Glest 3.1.2 AI better than 3.2.2 AI?
« on: 18 November 2009, 23:31:47 »
I have Glest 3.2.2 installed on Linux and Windows, the AI seems to do no offense what-so-ever when playing magic!
Although, I have Glest 3.1.2 installed under WINE, and magic works perfectly, or at least the magitech-refit magic works fine. I haven't had any problems with magic running glest under WINE!

UP TO DATE VERSION: https://docs.megaglest.org/Strategies
This will be the forum base of strategies!
Go ahead post them.
Layout:
---
Faction used:
Faction(s) faced, and CPU level:
Strategy:
How effective this strategy is on a 1 to 10 scale (10 being perfect and 1 being just about useless).
Pros:
Cons:
---
Strategies will be added to this post only if they are in this layout, you can add various things if they apply(ex: multiplayer) or type N/A next to ones that don't apply.
List of Strategies:
---
Faction: Tech
Against: Magic
Works best on: Mountains map
Strategy: Make sure you have plenty of resources, and rush the enemy with guards, get an airship and some archers somewhere near the enemy camp where they will not find you, let them attack you, fight their main force, and while the fight is going on the enemy camp will be weak, strike with the airship and archers.
Rating: 8(works real well if used right)
Pros: Works well, and is very devastating for the enemy.
Cons: Must be done right, otherwise the enemies main force will come back and stop you before you've finished.

Map: Center Punch
Faction used: Player 0: Magic Human Team 1

This is a variation of the early Magic Attack topic, please see https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=4780.0
How effective this strategy is on a 1 to 10 scale (10 being perfect and 1 being just about useless).
6 -has a few cons......has to be done perfectly or else....otherwise perfect!
Pros:
Good for a quick win against two CPU ultra Tech factions. A similar technique can be used on other maps.
Cons:
The main problem is avoiding the two defense Towers; needs a bit of skill.
It is boring to win so quickly.
List of Strategies:
1. At start of game, morph all Initiates into Battlemages.
2.Produce 2 Initiates and immediately morph one of them into a fifth Battlemage.
3.Summon an extra Daemon
4.Leave one Initiate in the Base camp to mine gold just in case a few reinforcements are needed.
5.Attack the 2 allied enemy bases which are to be found in the center of the map. It is best to attack the east entrance so as to avoid the defense Towers as much as possible.
6.Eliminate all Swordsmen and Archers at east entrance to enemy base. Use tactical retreating to draw out enemy archers from buildings. With good play only the Daemons will be lost. The Summoner can easily be shot down by the two Defense Towers but the remaining 4 or 5 Battlemages will still win.
7.The ONLY way to win is by situating the Battlemages by the Gold and Stone Boulders behind the furthest enemy Castle and by first eliminating the numerous enemy Workers. Both enemy Factions must mine gold from the same place on this map.
8.The Battlemages must be positioned far from the defense Towers or they will be shot down.
9.The enemy attack with more Swordsmen and Archers but the, by now, Master Battlemages always win with good play. Reposition weakened Units.
10.Finally, when both camps are more or less deserted, one can proceed to destroy the defense Towers. One Battlemage can be moved around to draw fire away while the others demolish them.
11. Finally both Castles, Blacksmiths and Farms can be demolished.

Map: Mountains
Tileset: Doesn't matter, but it was Christmas(updated version).
P1: Human Lee-tech Team 1

Linux and other ports / Is your Glest sluggish? Solution available! --Linux--
« on: 11 November 2009, 01:58:31 »
You may notice In the later Ubuntu(and variants), that Glest can run extremely sluggish!
I have integrated graphics, I don't know about other people, so my graphics isn't that good without a good driver, and I ran into a solution, in about 2 minutes!
Solution:
Open the menu.
-Select the "Applications" tab.
--Select the "System" Submenu.
---Select the "Hardware Drivers" application.
It will ask you for the sudo password.
-Enter it.
--Select the "OK" button.
A window will open that says something like: "Scanning for available drivers that match your hardware".
-Wait until that window disappears, and then another window will pop up.
--The window will have a display of available drivers for your system, select the one that says recommended, if none say that, then select the one that looks the best.
---If the recommended one is already active, a green filled in circle will be next to it, if the circle is gray then it is not active.
----After you've selected a driver click "Activate".
-----After you click the activate button, it might tell you to restart your computer.
Restart your computer.
And............YOUR DONE!
Have fun playing Glest!

I just realized, my main computer is down, so I can't export to G3D.
Also, I can't find a place to install the import export scripts on Windows, can someone put both the direct exporter, and the older importer/exporter in where they go and upload that directory, and then tell me where to put it?
Or just the direct export script or even just where to put it.
Thanks.

Bug report / Glest doesn't show error upon crash: EASY SOLUTION
« on: 23 October 2009, 16:18:00 »
After you change something and you try to play it in Glest, and then Glest crashes and shows you a black screen instead of an error message, here's the easy solution.
This is on Vista(probably works on newly released Windows 7), I'm not sure if this does the same thing on XP or other versions of Windows.
You get the black screen:
Now press these 3 keys at the same time: CTRL + ALT + DEL
That should make a screen come up that gives you multiple options, one of them being: "Start Task Manager", click on that option, and it should bring up a window showing the currently running applications. Now if you can't see the error message behind the Task Manager then move the task manager and minimize any windows that are in front of the error.
If you can already see the error, then simply read it and click "Ok". You can close the Task Manager now.
I know that on some computers it does show the error message but on others it might not, like mine, so that's a simple solution that takes ~5 seconds.
Enjoy! Well don't enjoy knowing you have errors.......just enjoy being able to see them!

Mods / Magitech Refit- 0.6 -BETA RELEASED!
« on: 23 October 2009, 15:50:05 »
I've been working on a Magitech Refit recently.
Not that magitech is bad or anything, it's awesome, I'm just trying to improve it.
Hopeful future additions/changes:
---
Units I'd like to add to tech:
(1x1)Spearman: Lightly armored guy with a spear, no shield.
(1x1)Heavy Spearman: An armored spearman with a strong spear and shield.
(1x1)Two-handled Swordsman: Already modeling it, a guy with a cape and large two-handled sword, obviously, no shield, but lots of armor.
(2x2)Knight: Heavily armored horseman with a lance, kite-shield, and cape.
(1x1)Halberdier: A guy in heavy armor, wields a dangerous halberd.
(1x1)Peasant: Guy with a sling and pitchfork, no armor except for clothing.
(1x1)Longbow-man: A long-ranged archer, with some light chain-mail armor.
(1x1)Crossbowman: A short-ranged man with heavy chain-mail armor, wields a crossbow(obviously), and wooden shield.
(1x1)Sharpshooter: A guy with a two-handled crossbow, extremely light chain-mail armor, and clothed to blend in with the scenery.
All anims must be at least GOOD quality! I would prefer that textures were good as well.
Any reasonable ideas are welcome, but I think that most of these are units that tech really needs, as for magic.......we'll do that later.
If anybody wants to model or animate any of these units then please say so, and I will post detailed information about the model(s), and/or texture(s), and/or animation(s)

Any reasonable ideas are welcome, but I think that most of these are units that tech really needs, as for magic.......we'll do that later.
If anybody wants to model or animate any of these units then please say so, and I will post detailed information about the model(s), and/or texture(s), and/or animation(s)

Maps, tilesets and scenarios / Balance Tool: Spectators Map -- Redone
« on: 17 October 2009, 03:56:29 »
This is a map that you can use for balancing, and for playing games if you want.
I made ALL of it, the map the .txt files, so if you use any of this in something, please credit me.
For a good description, just download it.
Pic: Coming Soon!!!
Downloads: Spectators-Package-FIXED.zip -- 1.44KB -- Fixed
This is probably the best way to balance two factions.
If you want I'll create one for balancing 3 players.
Enjoy!

Mods / Models Place
« on: 7 October 2009, 05:58:50 »
This is a place where people can post models they have made that are within 300-1200 polys, so they could possibly be put into a Glest mod.
Or you can post a really high poly model just too show off, but just don't use it in Glest.
My Models:
Constitution Class Starship
Downloads: Blend File
Progress: Done, one untextured unanimated blend file.
Polys: 1158(Please don't go any higher than this)

« on: 3 October 2009, 22:20:12 »
Ok, I finished the first version, compressing now............
I'll upload in the morning, probably going to take 3 hours, but if that's what it takes I got it...

This includes a lot of tilesets, maps, and scenarios along with all the mods contained inside it.
Another feature is a GUE enhanced UI(User Interface), which will be a seperate download.
It contains a README:
And has a license included in it too: GPL

DOWNLOADS:
Enhanced Menu(UI): 7z fileI REALLY Recommend this!!! It is like a menu rifit! And I really enjoy it!
