No definitly no 16 bit in H tiles and the rest is runtiles made. It also just appears after a certain flying time - dunno if time accelleration makes it worse. Weird

kinggeorge

prev 13 of course

and my own 512 tex zip... :/

kinggeorge

Now i got coast tiles in the middle of the desert after a longer flight.

Checkedthe ram usage - was always between 250- 300MB (512MB gf4 64MB here)

kinggeorge

I was flying 512 ods in the north (mountains) twice and after quite some flying distance something strange happened both times :( THe terrain textures turned very low res, then some tiles were missing and then only white came up and no more terrain. I still crashed into ground. When pressing esc i c...

kinggeorge

hehe i certainly know that you dont have to wish for that at all

kinggeorge

yes runtiles - but a special version - need to get in irc and ask snakeman

we tried 256 and 128 afaik - works well
Also 128 (M) and 64(L) works ok

kinggeorge

hmm something else - you have point here - it looked this way in northern iraq but this is right now in the south - near tigris etc... Maybe switch with arable land (lowest pic) which is north in ODS

kinggeorge

Nope it's irrigated farming - believe it or not taken out of a sat pic near a pres palace in the middle of the desert

Tried to make it more brownish but it looks worse then...

kinggeorge

So far thx to the huge work of Snakeman and Ami it works - even if theres quite some tile work and tweaking left http://wuw.stusta.mhn.de/~u001907a/static/512-1.jpg http://wuw.stusta.mhn.de/~u001907a/static/512-2.jpg http://wuw.stusta.mhn.de/~u001907a/static/512-4.jpg null http://wuw.stusta.mhn.de/~...

hmm middle east base textures are done basically - thy to the good stuff of digitalglobe.

I have much more sat images than we used making the tex. Most work now is stuff like transitons - so the lame work stuff

If we hadn't ami!!

kinggeorge

Sry im away and dont yet know when I return. No river tiles made yet *ashamed*

kinggeorge

Check the area of the europe theater - thats imo the one to focus on after the offical ones are near completition (ODS,nam)

Not exactly the also interesting area shown above - but there's east block, there's scandinavia and lots of other countries...

BTW: the site above CAG is very nice! thx

you get some nice tiles from USAF if you use the mission builder.

We prefer to do the tiles ourself for now

kinggeorge

Very cool Ami

kinggeorge

Snakeman is doomed to live forever with misalinged bridge tiles and getting reports of that bug!
And if the whole theater is shining in 512 - we gonna keep them for ods beta historical reasons

kinggeorge

Ciao el saluti da Monaco - e grazie per aiutarci

kinggeorge

Dont overstress space and bandwidth already now - there will be new releases in the near and far future that will do that

kinggeorge

THere is no effort invested in fixing old low res tiles in first place. About those tiles they represent dry river beds afaik - problem in f4 is the tile system that will give no diagonal but the fence style rivers and roads. It may not be visible in Korea as there is much Tile diversity per area - ...

kinggeorge

Best of all seems to be those variation tiles with those spots. Very good!

kinggeorge

argh me stupid - would be a good reason to remove my title here...

kinggeorge

Can't you use some of Toms 256 tiles?

THe pics are bloody good!

kinggeorge

TILE PROGRESS TABLE UPDATED

kinggeorge

Ok first we have practically all generic tiles. Striker is finsihing forest stuff, ami got the arable, Bobba is sending in modified desert textures, snakeman messes with rivers and will try to make the transitions, coasts and rename all to be usable. I tried to do nightlightning for the city tiles.....

kinggeorge

Frankly i have currently more than enough color sat images of below 2meter resolution... Thats not the prob - the work of getting good tiles out of them is

kinggeorge

HEy Merlin! Thx for the offer. Currently all the texture "painters" are busy with finishing ods 512 textures. Europe would be on my wish list as next theater. But before we don't have a finished 512 ODS version that works well i dont recommend to start on another theater except for collecting sat pi...

kinggeorge

THe point is imo that there is no discussion about a new gfx engine. It is not in our hands what happens with the SP3 code - it's G2I decisions and no posting here will ever change it. As for speculations there may be plenty of other discussion boards so that Snakman can keep this just for postings ...

- down to ~ 10m resolution.

hmmm not enough :/ that would be a 100x100 pixel texture. 256x256 is the start for high res tiles.

BTW: tom your tiles look great!!! Cant live without them anymore in korea

kinggeorge

thx CAG!!! Anothe bunch of video to be added to my gallery

kinggeorge

edzim take the pit down and dont claim its yours when it looks totally identically to aeyes.

kinggeorge

No no - just use the opera browser

Yep - thats all

kinggeorge

I remember there are sat pics about Las Vegas out there. Try digitalglobe mabye...

kinggeorge

You mean they actually can use the land in icelands?

I'd model iceland in winter - you need just one tile - all white

kinggeorge

ok maybe now just this addy works: http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/

kinggeorge

A new site for sat pics.
Requires registering for high res version afaik
