ahh, well the link is broken or something, because I get a page load error everytime, and the other example is the same thing as it was before

but with the regions, will I still be able to load the heightmap into the editor? or is it possible to the get terrain model scripts and stuff for regions outside of the editor, so i can put it directly into the game? or should i shut up and stop asking questions til i see it? lol

...i noticed lol -- I'ma just fixing that now and it can't load it from a heightmap - however I may just add that (so many things to add...)

could you put up another link for a .exe made in GM7? I have Vista

Sure - later - as i want to make it load from a .DLL instead of gm's text files.

alright, well, i guess i'll just wait a bit, this definetly isn't the only thing I have to do on my game, so I'll be alright for now

Well a Gm 7 .Exe is up - it has multi texturing (but no blending yet - but i have figured out a way to do it - expect it in the next release

[githrock]

lol! zomg! this is so awsome! like how the hell did you do that! like! when i played i was omg! allmost outloud

O M G ! ! ! !

[brett14]

you use your brain. If you look at the code it shows exactly how it's done, when the player shoots it destroys the grid. This is the method used in [most] 3D terrain editors, however it has been optimized enough for it to be used in [real time] (depending on your terrain size, how many times you call it, size of the terrain destroyed etc.)

[Sulfuric]

Not the first time it's been done (Thatgamesguy did it a while back), but it works well. It looks pretty bad, but that's only because of the ground textures. Get a much higher resolution texture next time, as there's a lot of stretching, and high res will help.

The trees actually look pretty good. The only problem is their bottom trunk is HUGE. Make the leaves lower please . Oh, and them flying through the air looks really odd. I realize 3d physics is pretty hard, but you should try to make them rotate in relation to the position of the blast. This includes how high they go, which direction they fly, and which axis they spin on.

[brett14]

Thatgamesguy did it a while back

Didn't know that, I searched but couldn't find anything.

Yeah, I know the tress look bad. I just wanted to show that you could detect where the blast was etc. I wasn't really concentrating on physics.

If you're still around checkin up on your post, Good stuff dude.

[brett14]

I check my old stuff about once a month, comments are always welcome.

[sneaky666]

when will you release it?

[brett14]

It was released a long time ago (Notice 2008...). However it had only something like 100 downloads over 4 years, so I removed it because it was taking up sever space. I no longer have it, sorry.

[sneaky666]

I tried making my own 3d map destruction using heightmaps.

What do you think of it? Is it fast?
