Scenery stuff and such...

[Mr.Wolna]

As for the snow: I agree with Lexx. Half naked tribals in -10°C aren't going to look good. Never.

hehe meaby you right


and i see i have lots to learn still, PS isn't really that problem but in 3d rednering i really a noob. I just sit here with 3d canvas and try to make block modeling during the holidays

Snow in a hot desert setting is just stupid.

The climate of the Gobi is one of great extremes, combined with rapid changes of temperature, not only through the year but even within 24 hours (by as much as 32 °C or 58 °F).

Average winter minimals are a frigid -40 °C (-40 °F) while summertime temperatures are warm to hot, highs range up to 50 °C (112 °F).

Snow exists in many deserts, but normally only at night, in the shade or during winter.

But I suppose it would be very hard to simulate this in the game.

But there are many mountainous areas in the game, perhaps they could contain snow tiles?

Hello continuum, I've made the transition coresponding to GRDFLAXX.
For the asphalt.
I've called them
RODFLAXX.FRM
From 10 TO 38.
Here is a exemple of integrationquickly made.
If you approve them, I can share them, and make the other.
Schuss

You've got my blessing.
Please do the other transitions!

 

[Continuum]

Hello continuum, I've made the transition coresponding to GRDFLAXX.

And yesterday I made GIFs for this type (which is fitting very well ) and I just converted them

I'll also make transitions for GRDFLBXX and GRDFLDXX. GRDFLCXX is done and uploaded (link in first post in this thread). Not sure about GRDFLEXX and GRDFLFXX, since they're rather not good for city areas. Does anyone use them there (city)? If so, any screenie?

I got PSD (52 layers), so it's only a matter of saving/converting, since I cleared every single tile (CURBXX and ROADXX) from desert.


271 tiles so far, next I'll get 104 from transitions for GRDFLBXX and GRDFLDXX and potential 104 for GRDFLEXX and GRDFLFXX. Next just add another 6 ground types + their transitions and mythical 4096 border will be crossed!

 

[Continuum]

Oh noes! it's full of colors! aka v0.4 of ground tiles.

Changes:

- added transitions with CURBXX and ROADXX for GRDFLAXX, GRDFLBXX and GRDFLDXX.

For screenies/changes from previous version check out this post.

[x'il]

is it just me, or those tiles look a little like the bottom of a dried out pond or lake?...very nice!

 

[Slaughter Manslaught]

I must say those ground tiles are gorgerous! I wonder if its possible to make a mod that places those tiles in the world of Fallout and Fallout 2.

 

[Lexx]

Yes. You just need to overwrite the original tiles.

 

[Continuum]

Just for the record: in next update "D" type (and transitions) will be replaced with this:

it's the same color map, but is less blurry and somehow irregular.


Also, A, B, C and D will get a support of this scenery pieces:

 

[Continuum]

Version 0.5 is up.

Changes:

- fixed D type (should be less blurry now),
- added compatibility with TIRS002 and WEED05-09 (scenery - check post above which ones) for A, B, C and D*,
- added (as bonus ) two, custom, weedy scenery pieces (I used existing art to make them) for A, B, C and D**.

For screenies/changes/whatever from previous version check out this post.

* they got exactly the same Frames Offset like original ones
** I tested them in Mapper - just add blockers to proper hexes and they will work with Trans None to Yes as they should




------------------------------------EDIT

And here's a green variant of scenery for A type (in case if someone will like it more):

Just crop each image, open FRM you want to change, add new bitmap, remove old and convert to FRM (it's very important to keep the same Frames Offset).

 

[Jesterka]

This is bloody cool, Bloody Pole.

Ve are naturally still downloading it for (higher! yey!) BGE purposes, till some ugly limit is prouldy found!

 

[Continuum]

A small hole with three barrels inside for B and C ground types.

 

[Lexx]

Very nice again.


(How high is the chance to get this for normal desert tiles too? :>)

 

[Mr.Wolna]

wow this one is really cool.

I hope some of this stuff will be used in the RP Areas for more induviality. like in Primitive Tribe, or EPA.

btw Contie whats about a new Tree Typ for the Primitive Tribe, cause the current map, not really lokks like a wood^^

 

[Continuum]

Not sure about default, desert tiles. I'm not supporting them anymore You may call it as self promotion of custom grounds

In the future maybe new mountain will be done for C type (both directions):

It's a basic test of idea how to make such type of art.

IIRC WQ has made some custom plants (trees?). Besides, do you have any screenie of area/map you're talking about?

Anyway, more mass produced variants:

I have no Fallout/Mapper installed (and because of that I'm posting GIFs, instead of FRMs), but if you'll adjust Frames Offset correctly player will be able to get "behind" the sign.

 

[Mr.Wolna]

all of them are nice, personally i like the middle one best.

and yes i know that there are some new trees and plants, but i think the did not really fit. The Map i mean is the enter map (wood) of primitive tribe.

maybe some one who has the RP istalled can post a mapper screeny, cause i am working on the critter editing, so i do not have installed the RP.

 

[Jesterka]

Where's the original tiles support, Contus Superbus? Oh yeah, kind of self-promo decision. A bad one, though! Do you realize some busy modders are not going to remade tiles in 50% finished maps?

 

[Lexx]

You have to, Mister Lizzardman! :>


New mountains look cool, I want more mountains anyway, so I am looking forward to more cool stuff.

Yeah, but those scenery add-ons are aimed to improve visuals of custom grounds, not existing tiles. While using custom grounds you'll get a benefit from custom scenery pieces, which can be only seen there, not on every possible map. Besides, there's enough scenery stuff which blends with default, desert tiles to use (including a fucking UFO! ). If you don't want to use it (from various reasons), it's your will, I'm not forcing anyone to use anything I did.
