Yes, indeed. These are earlier screenshots. The artifacts are gone since we use manual mipmapping.ahmedali wrote:I see some artifacts around the tiles edges in last 3 screen shots.
The PagingLandscape is surely an excellent addon, but I'm coding a turnbased strategy game. I needed a terrain manager that is devided into tiles and is able to organize dozens (or hundreds) of very different tile textures next to another. I have to admit that my knowledge about the paging manager is somewhat limited, but I think it's more suitable for huge realistic maps with only a few textures. As far as I can tell it uses a completely different technique to texture the world and the two managers are not compatible.ahmedali wrote:Just to know your opinions, why didnt you chosed the PaginfLandscape.

Looks nice. You might want to consider working a bit on those banks though. There's a noticeable cut between water a land. Problem is : it is pretty hard to get this to work in a convincing way without killing your framerate so you might also want to delay this feature a bit and consider it only for a later version.

no chance, we used gpl for the tileengine, now we want to make a little break (for about 2 years) and see how the source code will expand...You might want to consider working a bit on those banks though
btw, when you take a look at the water while the tileegine is running, you will see that we only need a little animated wave/spray at the shore.

Polyveg is joking but there is truth in his words. We both are coding our own games and decided to work on a basic terrain manager together to speed up things and to share our results with the ogre community. So you must understand that our main goal is to add features that are necessary for the basic of one of our games and not to code a terrain manager that everyone will be happy with.
But feel free to criticize the screenshots. There are still many things that can be improved.

Does it include a tilebased terrain manager, too?Bloodypriest wrote:Nah. That was just a suggestion I thought might look cool. We're currently developing our own scenemanager too (and full blown game engine for that matter). And I'll use that as a test platform for my master thesis actually. There's not enough progress to show screenshots now though.

There's a new screenshot that shows two new features:
The first thing is mouse picking. The user can select single tiles to manipulate them.
The second thing is the support for light mapping. No ogre lights are switched on in this screenshot. The user can create a texture that will act as a lightmap for the whole world. Although in this screenshot only a black-white lightmap is used, the lightmap can have any colors.

Yes, there is: http://www.code-black.orgstodge wrote:Nice! Is there a description of your game anywhere? I like turn based strategy games.
Unfortunately it's a german page. There is the possibility to translate in into english via google, but ... well online translations can be funny.

Sorry, my fault. I forgot to mention that the last screen was shot with 8xAA and 16xAF, just for a nice view.Praetor wrote:Why did the change in perspective cause such a drop in FPS? That's kind of interesting, unless it was just something unrelated. I would have thought that the wider angle would produce worse FPS due to more of the terrain being visible.
edit: Because the screenshot is so huge, I changed it to a link.
