Nice work, although pretty dark with numerous graveyard shots =)

Nice work, although pretty dark with numerous graveyard shots =)

As I said on the AVALON homepage, my goal is realism and I want to reach a good immersive feeling for the player...
By day or by night...

Thanks again for the comments !


PS : There are less graves than in the real graveyard but it's not very far from reality

Hi all,

Could someone help me about terrain clutters... I'm making an Island Avalon Island and I'm trying to associate the clutter with the terrain. For the moment, I'm currently using a modified SARA config file but I would like to change the clutter associated to a certain terrain texture... I see the lines in the config file that define the clutter classes but If I modify something in the class (associated p3d), nothing is modified within the game...

Please help me to understand how it really works cause I'm certainly missing something...

Thanks

CODE

class clutter {
            class GrassGeneral : DefaultClutter {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_grass_general.p3d";
                affectedByWind = 0.3;
                swLighting = 1;
                scaleMin = 0.75;
                scaleMax = 1.0;
            };
            
            class GrassFlowers : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_grass_flowers.p3d";
            };
            
            class GrassLong : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_grass_long.p3d";
                affectedByWind = 0.6;
                scaleMin = 0.6;
                scaleMax = 1.1;
            };
            
            class GrassSevenbeauty : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_grass_sevenbaeuty.p3d";
                affectedByWind = 0.1;
                scaleMin = 0.7;
                scaleMax = 1.1;
            };
            
            class GrassYellow : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_grass_yellow.p3d";
                affectedByWind = 0.1;
                scaleMin = 0.7;
                scaleMax = 1.1;
            };
            
            class GrassDesert : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_grass_desert.p3d";
            };
            
            class ForestFern : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_forest_fern.p3d";
                affectedByWind = 0.1;
                scaleMin = 0.9;
                scaleMax = 1.1;
            };
            
            class SmallRocks : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\rocks\clutter_stone_small.p3d";
                affectedByWind = 0;
                scaleMin = 0.9;
                scaleMax = 1.1;
            };
            
            class FlowersColor : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_smetanka.p3d";
            };
            
            class FlowersWhite : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_white_flower.p3d";
            };
            
            class MushroomsHorcak : GrassGeneral {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_horcak.p3d";
                affectedByWind = 0;
                scaleMin = 0.85;
                scaleMax = 1.25;
            };
            
            class MushroomsPrasivka : MushroomsHorcak {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_prasivky.p3d";
            };
            
            class MushroomsBabka : MushroomsHorcak {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_babka.p3d";
            };
            
            class MushroomsMuchomurka : MushroomsHorcak {
                model = "ca\plants\clutter_muchomurka.p3d";
            };
        };

You could of just asked this in the original topic instead of opening a new one. Merging.

hi PhiL

You are making a very very good island, my cheers

anyway, I saw you are having probs with clutters.
I'll try to help you:

first in your config, you have to define the class surfaces:

CODE

class CfgSurfaces
{
    class Default {};
    class water {};
//SURFACES TO DEFINE THE DIFFERENT GROUND TEXTURES USED IN THE ISLAND
    class you_island_surface: Default
        {
        access = ReadOnly;
        files = "beachsand_*";  //THIS MEANS THE NAME OF YOUR GROUND TEXTURE, MINE IS BEACHSAND_co.paa, in you case define as I do: "your_texture_name_*"
        rough = 0.03;
        dust = 1.3;
        soundEnviron = "sand";
        character = "your_character_clutter"; //THIS IS THE NAME DEFINED IN THE NEXT CLASS, CfgSurfaceCharacters
        };
};

Now, once defined surfaces, you have then to define the class cfgSurfaceCharacters:

CODE

class CfgSurfaceCharacters
{
    class your_character_clutter
    probability[] = {0.01,0.007,0.005,0.006};
    names[] = {"YOUR_OWN_CLUTTER1","YOUR_OWN_CLUTTER2","YOUR_OWN_CLUTTER3","YOUR_OWN_CLUTTER4"}; //HERE YOU DEFINE the class of your clutters
    };
};

and NOW you can define your class clutter

[PHiL]

You are making a very very good island, my cheers

Thanks I'm doing my best... It's difficult to find the time to work as much as I want but I'll try to release my Alpha in time... It will be hard but not impossible...
For what concern the clutter, I thank you very much !!! Now it's clear in my head !


PS: I've made 12 new screenshots of the 1815 domain...

[PHiL]

New domain for the web site. The web site will be updated this weekend.

Avalon Island

Current progress for my island is:

2/5 Cities are finished at 95%
50% of the vegetation is in place
the Config.bin is at 99% finished

The first alpha release should be next week...

Stay tuned

[Linker Split]

m8, you are really doing a great work with it...

I like the atmophere and all...

Hi,

Again I have to delay the release of my Island, but I'm proud to say that I've released something else that's a bit more important for me... "William" my son who is born this 3 November 2008 !

The Avalon Island project won't be canceled ! As soon as I get free time again I'll start over again !
