Upload them to the forum. Attack one to each of your posts, then copy the shortcuts of the pictures back into the posts where you want to display them. Then they'll work until TGC bursts into flames.

Ok, so here's the update on the grass. Well its not grass, its plants.

I made a program to make a randomized file that has about 45,000 coordinates on x and y. In my Second Map Program, it reads the file and positions the plant plains at those positions. This way, the plants are randomized, but only randomized once.

Here are da screeeeenies!!!!













Enjoy. Comments and qestions are welcome. I really don't want this thread dieng

You should use a plantmap. Random plants, even randomizing them only once, is impossible to control. If a plant is in the wrong place, under a building, under water, etc, then it will be too difficult to move. There's plantmap info in the DBP part of the forum, and I posted my own plantmap code. Feel free to use it if you want to.

You see, I detect if its under water. If its under water, I delete it. If it collides with a building, I delete it. No problem.

It is working fine, so I'm not sure about using a plant map.

What would refraction be?

And the murcury look might be the transparent blue plain in front of the water camera. What color should I change the water to?


Thanks for the comment.


Andything on the plant so far?

Well, my artist drew me a veeery very detailed referance image for the gunner. I started modelling it nd its turning out average. I hope it turns out good enough, and this time I'll work on the face more.

So the plants are good? Should I move onto grass and trees?

refraction is (if im not mistaken) the property that lets you see through water and also lets it reflect.

at least thats the image i got after fiddling with the water shader i found.

Oh, I think I know what to do. I could make the water a ghost refelction and make texture the blue plain with the image that the reflection camera draws, and ghost that too. That way, its a double reflection with see through. Would that work?

That's a lot of CPU you'll be burning up. Personally, I think that gameplay is the priority, and the fluff should come after, and definitely be optional.

Ok, sorry for the double post, but I added the refraction, and I kept the blueish look. The water looks 10 times better, thank you very much 0ddmind.

Expect the next update to tell you about my trees.


But then, please continue looking at the grass, or give some suggestions.

Thanks!


EDIT : Just saw your post Cash, and I'll take it into consideration. The only problem is, when I had nothing but the advanced terrain, the fps was already around 25

With the bluish/refraction water the Fps is the same.

This looks (and sounds) extremely good especially location 2, what kind of framerate do you get with that water.
Also please please tell me how\where to get that shader.

Update

After Cash reveiwed my Second Location code and stuff, he made many great suggestions that shot the fps up by about ten. he also taught me timer based movement and speed, and thats great too. He gave me a distance formula for the trees and plants.

Cash, thank you so much.


And now for the... trees?!??










Also notice the updated water

Once you start playing as the gunner in the second location, you have to fight mutant zombies. Tons of em. These zombies are different though. They are scary, hairy, glowng and fast.

Heh, yeah, the gameplay comes after I can find someone to make a roman soldier for me and texture it.. I've never tried one before, and I dont think I'll be very good at it...

Can anyone make a texture one for me? Roman Soldier?

XENO! Hows it goin man, long time no see. I like the look of your project. The second area looks simply amazing, the water effects are wonderful. I think the first area could use some partical effects for the flames rather than planes with a flamy animation. Dunno, but it looks kinda cheesy with the planes. Other than that I really like how this is coming out and mutant zombies are my best friends!

Awsome! Yeah, land of assassins is basically a little side project. A 3rd person platformer basically. Desert Planet is still my primary. I am using a new engine now and it is running gloriously! Hehe, basically Im putting the whole thing through a overhaul.

Thanks to my amazing personal freind computer artist, I have a very high detailed and very accurate reference image of a human that will be used for the gunner. I've completed the leg, foot, half of the torso, the arm, and all I need now is the hand and half of a head. Then I can duplicate it, flip it, smooth it, and join the two halves and wa-la

I'll show a screen shots or two when I'm done. Plus, the model is turning out very good and very low poly. I'm estimating under 900 polys for this guy of mine.


Thanks,
Xeno

Sounds good with the gunner! 900 is a good number; if it looks good, you should aim for that number for every human if possible.

I like the zombie dude. Not so much that it's a zombie, but the artistic quality is very high. I'd enjoy killing him!

Edit: Very nice water, as well.

Hehe, thanks Bizar Guy.

Now, I was thinking, multiple guns with the gunner... Now how would I go about doing that? Should I make the gunner animations without a gun, copy the whole gunner file for each gun, and put a gun in the hands of the gunner? Nah, I would have to append it each time and that would be a pain. Maybe I could just Put a whole bunch of guns in his hands and tur the ones not in use transparent? What do you guys think would be better?

Update

As you all know, after the RPG version of God of Time is complete, there will be an MMORPG version. I thought I would need some coding skills forthat portion, so I'm simultaneously making an morpg. I'll call it : BoxMorpg. Its coming out quite nicely, it works online over different computers. The only problem that I am having at the moment is nametags. At my computer, the host, the name tags work like a charm. From other compters, its quite weird, sometimes the wrong people have the wrong nmetags, sometimes only few show up at all.

But it will be fixed, and once it is, I'll move on to gameplay. Some Day soon, I'll keep my comuter on, as well as the host exe, and it'll be an official testing day for BoxMorpg.

Hey everyone!

Lately, I've been telling everyone how great my artist is. I've been saying how high quality his work is. Well, he decided to make a roman soldier reference image fotr my game. But before that, he pimped it with a high detailed simple art of a roman soldier.

Enjoy. Alot. (this is computer art, not scanned in)

EDIT: Forgot to say, this will be used in the game, so you are not aloud to use this at all.

I'm working on the intro and I've come a cross a sort of widescreen effect. It's pretty cool. Once the intro is done I'll clip a video and post it here The intro includes :
Movie scenes
Voices (Soon to come)
Sounds (Soon to come)
Music (Soon to come)
Cool Camera Movement and Eeffects

That soldier is okay. Oddmind said his torso is too long, but I don't think that's it. He has no ass. His legs connect directly to his torso. The result is that his legs look too short.

And as far as your intro... it sounds cool, but you really shouldn't worry about that until you have all of your gameplay elements in place. All that will happen is that you'll have a movie clip of not much and you'll have to redo it anyway.

Focus on gameplay. Gameplay should take precedence over everything else. Without gameplay, this project will be no different from any other Dark Basic RPG.

I mean, it's really up to you. But your intro won't be good without all of your models and gameplay elements in place. If you had everything set up, you could script some cut scenes and add voice overs like that. Right now all you can do is fly around the landscape and show one monsters, pus add some sound effects.

I think that focusing on the gameplay first is the most important thing, and will serve to help you with everything else.
