User:Enetheru/Map Features

seriously dammit I cant seem to categorise/organise the various models/animations etc inmy mind so that I can start on docs for them..

afaik, and this is arbitrary, there are CEG's, Features, Units, Buildings, but they are all basically the same thing, some have more detail than others..

so if we lump them under one heading like maps, whats the simplest, and then how can we extend that simple idea?

• Static Model multiple pieces
• textures
• Corpses
• animation scripts
• particles
• Shaders

And in what capacity can they be used in game?

• map feature
• effect
• unit
• building

Static Map Feature

mapcontainer.sdd/
   features/
      feature.lua
   objects3d/
      model.obj
      model_heirarchy.lua
   unittextures/
      textures.png

• feature.lua
• model_heirarchy.lua

Scale

there is a 1:1 ratio for the obj model values to the pixel values of the ground texture. in other words, a 2x2 map that has a texture resolution of 1024x1024 can contain a model that is 1024x1024 dimensions
