Example. Test. Buggy. Beta. Alpha. Ufo. etc.

DEM2L2 is giving me hard time to certain TDF files as UK for example.

i think its better for a 64 theatre, because of all of the objects = low fps right?

what is there to be scared of sitting in my Viper?

I'd like to know the answer..full scale campaign on this 128 baby..FPS? long lag in loading/exiting 3d?

I tested the campaign; two squadrons, no ground units and FPS was 55-65...

but then I noticed it was using 512x512 tiles

Any beta release?

can't wait

I just reinstalled falcon and confirmed. 16206 objectives in the campaign, two squadrons, no ground units (well actually two tank batallions).

No effect on frame rates, I seem to get normally 60-70fps and those nice 200.0 when looking sky'ish.

About teams; hey its test version.

About beta/release; soon. very soon. oh what the heck, lets even say "this weekend".

Is it possible to re-tile the final theatre using CATE? I'm asking because all of Switzerland is green forest - even the Alps

But the DEM is quite good...I managed to sneak through well-known valleys and the form/flow of the landscape was very nice and correct.
An improved tiling should be quite easy (for those who know how to operate CATE - which I don't): Switzerland = Farmland < 2000 ft < Forests < 5400 ft < Mountains

Absolutely. would you like to "paint" the Swiss area of the bitmap for us so CATE knows which terrain type to apply and where?

Well that was good info, thanks.

Yes, that's the perfect example of how CATE can come in handy.

The idea is to :

- Paint the Switzerland country in a BMP picture of the same size than the terrain (as it's a 128x128 theater, that means a 2048x2048 bitmap) (for example, draw the whole theater in white, except Switzerland that you'll paint in black, just to please Julian

)

- Make some rules in CATE conf file to follow your guidelines about altitude, when black pixels are found

- Run and apply with CATE !

how long will it take (i guess about a year) in campaign days for f4 campagn engine to invade the whole continent by either side?!...

any hope that u may squeeze Turkey in there btw??

Hey - I just noticed - you're missing the north sea oil rigs!

twaelti · Post by **twaelti** » 2002-04-13 08:43:00

OK, I will paint it black

(and add a red door..)
Where do I get the necessary bitmap from?
I can't do anything against it - but the rule for switzerland is really as easy as I mentioned before

We don't have rice paddies and got rid of the swamps a hundred years ago. But I need to see glaciers and mountain peaks...
The cool thing about flying in a theatre that you know from reallife(tm) is that you get a totally new experience about distance, height and speed in Falcon! (and see the shortcomings of the 3d engine...)

Email me to nospam and I'll send you the euro128 bitmap zipped up.

This Europe 128 theater should be available tomorrow.

Its working rather good already now, but I made some adjustments for my CATE default config files (for Vietnam) and they should be applied into the terrain...
