cd to the src/ folder and runJust how are these applied, anyway?

Ahh, very good, thanks. Will apply it immediately.

Emm, probably in the code root is how it is supposed to be done

It seems to me that maximum height of 256 is hardcoded in a huge lot of different places in FlaME

Sounds like a good project for someone to define a constant and go through the code replacing the 256 
Re: More than three.

Yep. It really is, and I've likewise not found a way to get even the master branch of FlaME to do different heights than that. We may have to get Flail to change it.

hmm, guys. the height is limited to 256 because it's the maximum you can code in a byte. If you want to increase it further, you gonna need a new map format right ?

I thought it was an adjustable value? o.O
If it's hardcoded like that then we'll have to mess with the height multiplier instead. Still do-able. It would break the look of all maps that have come before, and that's not someplace I wanted to go.

I'm willing to bet that one of these areas has to do with how heightmaps appear.NoQ wrote:It seems to me that maximum height of 256 is hardcoded in a huge lot of different places in FlaME

Add an .ini file to the map that changes height multiplier, set to default if the file is not found?
Re: More than three.
Posted: 08 Jul 2012, 03:06
I thought that was already in. In the old Editworld it was a variable. The absolute maximum was still 255 height though.
Re: More than three.

Heightmap has always been 256 max.
While it is possible to use the ALPHA channel to add a multiplier, I am wondering why you would need to make huge mountains or deep valleys ?
The path finding routines have a hard enough time as it is.

I thought PNG greyscale images were 16 bit? I know you can have 8-bit PNGs but most software will default to 16-bit for PNGs (or 32-bit for colour)?
@vexed: I can see one benefit of deep valleys: oceans -- somewhere that naval propulsion can go. And as for huge mountains, they could go outside the playable area of the map to provide a nice mountainous border to the map...

PNG does support 16 bit grayscale, but Warzone don't at this time.aubergine wrote:I thought PNG greyscale images were 16 bit? I know you can have 8-bit PNGs but most software will default to 16-bit for PNGs (or 32-bit for colour)?

The problem with high mountains or anything else that is really high is the camera / VTOLs "hug" the terrain, so they would always have to be higher...if you don't have a smooth transition, then you can end up with units inside the mountain.
As for naval stuff, guess we will cross that bridge when we get there.
The current engine is just not up to having huge tall/deep maps, you would get massive performance hits.

Now that i think of it, tile-*.png files are clearly two-digit. Is anybody sure more than 100 tiles will work?
