A few screenshots of AngelModder's JH3 warzone port test version.

That *is* how the rest of it was done. (literally) Notepad > Radiant for usability.

I use this program because its fairly easy and i'm no mapper. http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=8

Initial implementation of night sky, and day to night transitioning. Still some minor bugs, but it's functioning

I will just use this thread to post random pics from stuff we have been doing. These are fairly recent pics at the time of posting, but not always the latest builds. I won't bother giving much info about the pics, they are just random screenshots I take while working on stuff (that I think are perrty). I can provide more info if anyone asks though. On an unrelated note, we could always use help with the mod. PM Stoiss or Me if you are interested. You can also contact us on discord #warzone channel. Procedural geometry and large map support pics.

Hmm not quite true. The idea is we will spawn semi-random events and quests all over the map, so you would not be running single player binaries, but it will be almost completely (other then possibly the hardest events) playable as a single player game if you want to. Think MMO style questing with randomized quests - you can do them solo, or join with others, its up to you.

Oh wow. Just looked at that map very similar to the look we are aiming for with worlds. You definately could could use wzmap to enhance it a lot - we even have some nice pine tree assets to use. I believe it is possible to export parts of a map from radiant to model files? Some of the components of that map would be very handy for procedural geometry system (mushrooms, ruins, etc) if they can be exported. in fact, instead of improving the current map, you might be better off exporting these components, and making a giant map with wzmap using some of the original assets and some of ours. FYI: The pic above is just a basic large terrain with everything else added being procedural by wzmap, you can literally make multiple maps in an hour if you just want basic wilderness.

Yeah, nearly all basejka content will work in warzone as I added some basic conversion systems. They are not perfect, but they do the job. Warzone is a mod and a modified engine as well, we have also modified the saber system a little, and added a bunch of new weapons (currently mostly a WIP). We are trying to make JKA somewhat 2017 Where warzone will differ from JKA mostly is we are moving away from small maps, and trying to create worlds, where we can have a mini-mmo/skyrim/etc type open world game (side note: we already have the ability to spawn thousands of NPCs onto a map without lag). But at the moment most of the focus of the project is on the basics like allowing for the big maps, and making the renderer look good. The WzMap compiler that you used is based around allowing these large worlds, and more importantly to us, to procedurally add geometry to maps (trees, cliffs, platforms, random misc models, towns, etc) without having to manually place everything. It allows us to generate a lot of maps fairly quickly (or to enhance maps with trees, etc).

I added a check in that code in the only place I can see it use unchecked values, and updated the copy of WzMap.exe on our repo, see if that helps.

Hmm thats definately an app crash. I might need to debug it to work out what's happening. Any chance you could send me the .map file? You don't need sound to use discord, I just use text chat. If you want to join, just mute your sound.

Does is give any error in the window, or does the program crash completely? I will be in #warzone on discord for a while if you want to chat there. It would make things faster to get it fixed

Guess while i'm here, I should post another <mapname>.climate file showing some of the newer options of wzmap. WzMap can now procedurally add ledges and city objects (objects near a specified point) to a map. The ini should be pretty self explanitory.

We could sure use a mapper . God knows i'm not one, yet i'm doing all our maps.

The versions posted on here are fairly old and may have been compiled with intel c++, so that may be the reason you crashed (if you have an amd cpu). The latest version (no longer using intel c++) is available on our assets repo, in this folder (the only file you should actually need if you downloaded the older version is WzMap.exe): https://github.com/Stoiss/WZassets/tree/master/WARZONE_TEST_BUILD/WzMap

The main reason is because for them to use vehicles, you also need vehicle paths and path finding. They also need to know how to handle the vehicle. The warzone mod will have some vehicle AI in the future (it already has currently disabled code for generating vehicle paths).

A scarif map? You mean something like this?

The mods would need to be compiled with the warzone engine code to work. We extended the max players limit to 128 and the max entities limit to 2048.

A couple of weeks ago I added a cartoon mode cvar for the fun of it. I guess I should post a few screenshots. The mode is enabled using r_cartoon 1 - basic cartoon mode with no black lines on edges. 2 - above plus black edge lines. 3 - above plus paint effect (not worth the FPS in my opinion). (I won't bother with screenshots of r_cartoon 3 because I didn't take any screenshots and I doubt anyone will use it anyway) It requires nothing other then to enable the cvar. r_cartoon 1 r_cartoon 2

I guess, as long as you use very small splashes or make them fully procedural and 3D. You don't want a 2D splash hitting the top of a signpost and creating a big flat splash, it would look unnatural. One advantage of traces is you can skip past small objects easily. Anyway I just thought I would point out that I already made a system for mapping surfaces of the map to images for whatever needs (which I currently am not using for anything myself). How is the FPS of the rain when you add alpha channel textures for them? Also, I wonder if (instead of static shaders or glsl procedural effects) the raindrops and splashes would be best done by pre-recording efx system scripts at map start (into animated image maps), which may not look as good, but would probably be good for JKA modders and make the whole system very easy to customize. I guess another option is to allow loading custom glsl files for the system, which is a better option, but requires modders to learn new stuff. The only other option is preset weather systems, which is pretty limiting.

I foresee issues with using depth maps, you might be better off using a modified version of this code i made to generate heightmaps for wz. https://github.com/Stoiss/Rend2/blob/rend2/codemp/rd-warzone/tr_mapping.cpp#L747 Then you can use material types to work out stuff like water hits, etc, and it makes it a bit easier to skip translucent objects and stuff. You simply have more info to make use of via traces. That would give you a map of surface positions for each map point using a single image (the other 3 colors in the texture could be used for material and 2 other useful position infos). A heightmap can be useful for other stuff too. You are also however going to need a positionmap for the screen, but thats a good thing, its a start to moving rend2 to deferred to get that FPS up on detailed maps.

If you have source code to FBX2GLM, could that code be added into the GLM loading code and load FBX itself? Since from what your saying, it has the original tangent info. Still not sure what you would do with MD3 and BSP though...

It seems to me that if 3d soft can generate tangents, then why can't you do the same in the renderer code (surely there is an opensource engine that has code already to do this), just make the current method better? Then the new system could be used for all game objects, so that they all match. If tangents on walls look different to tangents on md3's which look different to tangents on glm's, what is gained? I think you guys need to look at the bigger picture and create 1 good system for everything.

Warzone weather system uses efx files. It's not a glsl system though, it creates the weather in cgame, but its very customizable. I decided that trying to do it with glsl just wasnt worth the effort of working out indoor/outdoor, it was simple in cgame. It could do splashes easilly (actually it originally did), but i disabled the splashes because they require traces for the ground surface for each particle. GLSL could do it faster, but im not sure how xycaleth is going to handle the indoor/outdoor and collision checking that late in the frame.
