Great suggestion! We should do a kind of WarDex in-game, where you can browse around and see all different units and structures.

A simple triangle would be easiest, but a trapezoid is 2 triangles, so no big difference there. And a polygon is (after triangulation) only a set of triangles. That said, the current approach is simply the hypothenuse through pythagoras theorem (afaik), which is very very much lighter on performance...

This is an awesome idea. But, perhaps technology nowadays is so advanced as to have symmetrical LoS (Line of Sight)?

For eg. a WWII game, I'd like the tank's LoS to correspond with its "windows" and turret directions etc.

Maybe you could consider running it on PS1?

Hi mate I believe the next step for us to improve pathfinding is to implement Flow Fields, as Perl99 has so generously done for us at one point in time. There would be no room to run MORE A* pathfinding with the current way of doing things as its already under lots of pressure in various scenarios.

We have smoke trails that are in the making, but I haven't gotten around to polishing it up in a long time:

I guess the last one looks better than the original, as it makes it more interesting.

Thanks mate. BTW, why don't you join the Discord? We discuss this and a lot of other things there.

I did do the smoke trails but waiting for it to get some attention ... now I'm just getting some fast satisfaction out of doing small features, here and there.

But concrete slabs are easier (to implement than modifying the terrain!!) and will fit in better with the idea we have for roads (along with bridges, tunnels). See this issue where I made a quick sketch of the same idea, Mangust: https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2100/issues/302 Also, guys, plea...

FWIW, I really like the streets idea

And I'd think that more terrain types is possible in the map editor, no? I could be wrong though

I for one would like to get rid of the scavenger models in WZ, and replace them with similar animated counterparts.

How difficult would it be to change these config files to make them use the cyborg PIE models (ie. animated legs) but with their own texture?

Jemandanders, WRT to changing max gamespeed, there is a note in the source code that changing gamespeeds to arbitrary values may break the game. So perhaps that is the main reason we don't have more liberal limits. But it says you can activate "debug mode" and then increase the speed somew...

Agreed, better than the "pellets" that appear currently...

Update, machine guns now have smoke trails and their projectiles hidden:
