Oiltanks for RMA

[ghosta]

license? What license? I built the maps on my own and all I used are the UFO_AI prefabs...

[BTAxis]

You have to release your work under a license so we can claim it's free software. Some people take this very seriously.

[blondandy]

so you have to say something like "i release my work unto thee under whatever version of GPL or CC you like" and everyone is happy

and ufo:ai can be included in linux distros and repos.

[ghosta]

i release my work unto thee under whatever version of GPL or CC you like

How big should the whole map be? How many RMA-parts do you need?

[Mattn]

we have 28 in the village theme - the more the better - but also 12 or 16 are useable. but it's really up to you

[Mattn]

oh, one more note, if you are using the prefabs, you have to release the maps under gpl 2.0 or later (just as a note)

[ghosta]

After compiling the maps the shadows of the pipes really look awful.
Is it possible to draw a invisible brush (nodrawflag) outside the map? Just to get the shadow. Or do you get into trouble with RMA?

[Mattn]

no sorry, that is not really possible - but you can place a nodraw brush in a smart way to throw the shadow correctly - and maybe you have to set the lighting settings manually to get this working properly - see the worldspawn article in our wiki about the flags - e.g. you can set the sun to the zenith to get proper working shadows

also: are you using 2.2.1 or 2.3-dev (beta installer or svn self-compiled?) - because if you are using the latter, please set the phong flags for the pipes - that shadow or lightmap method will look way better for pipes and stuff like barrels and so on.

[ghosta]

I use 2.2.1.
I try to solve it with nodraw-brushes if they dont block something.

[ghosta]

Here you get the first 17 parts of the "industrial map". The .zip file contains just a few oilpipes that could be assigned to the finished map like a road through it.

I have already testet it with some models and the stairs and some other stuff seemed fine. But it would be nice if someone else could take a look at them and tell me, if everything is okay.

On the next step I try to make some buildings or a little oil refinery...

Here again the maps for some sort of Industrial map. It also contains the last ones now with the right angle of the sun (and renamed to more confusing abbr. like programmers like to do it ).

The .zip file now contains
5 1x1 double straight oilpipes
3 1x1 double corner oilpipes
3 1x1 douple arm oilpipes
3 1x1 single straight oilpipes
3 1x1 single ending oilpipes

new:
1 1x1 double ending oilpipe
1 1x3 double ending oilpipe with some sort of refinery
1 2x3 facility
5 1x1 gapfillers

I compiled all of them and tested the stairs/pathfinding/...
The 2x3 facility file contains a window and I get the same strange behavior described here: http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=2862.0

It would be nice if someone could take a look at them and tell me if the maps are working properly.

On the next step I try to make some more gapfillers and this ump-file.

[Mattn]

you are using some textures from 2.2.1 that are no longer existent in 2.3-dev (due to license issues) - it would be cool if you could use a 2.3-dev build and have a look at the "wrong" textures

[ghosta]

Some more maps.

I am almost finished yet.  All I need to do is getting all of the UFOs on tiles, placing starting positions and finishing the .ump-file i guess.

The missing textures will be fixed after I have a working RMA map.

Here u get the promised .ump file and some maptiles for testing the map (containing alien/human spawn points) Richlv convinced me to compile the source. I am going to do it this weekend, then I can create the other tiles containing UFOs, fix the contributed ones and place spawn points.

For now you get the ump file with a "testing" assembly

It looks like this:

[ghosta]

Finished and tested...
The ump file just contains a assembly for a landing scout/fighter/supply ship and a dropship.

It also would be nice if someone could replace the prefab_ufo_supply.map with this one. The current is unusable bugged...
