Every day Sylvanor builds something new, sometimes just a tiny building. On some days whole areas will pop up out of nowhere. Either way, the consistent creative energy put into this build is awe-inspiring, and the result is rich and colorful piece of art that can not be experienced just through these screenshots. Every nook has a story to tell, so come hop on the server and explore.

One issue to note when trying to make static shape terrain maps:
players can easily fall through the map and vehicle collision will pretty much not work at all. Some research should be done into how static map collision could be improved either through overlapping collision planes at borders or adding depth to the planes. (not sure either of these would work, just a wild guess, i'm sure there are other methods to consider)

edit: is there a tutorial on how to actually do this
I'm considering making a video showing how this was done

General Discussion / Re: Porting the GTA III/Vice City/San Andreas map to BL as a static shape?
« on: December 19, 2017, 09:38:32 PM »one thing that affects performance of static shapes is how big it is. having many big pieces may actually be okay on the engine as long as no single piece is too big. this is worth looking into, since knowing the difference in performance of one big shape vs multiple small ones could mean porting maps like this could work.
I remember running into that issue this summer. I'd love to do more research into what BL can actually handle in different scenarios.
EDIT: OP, another issue with porting complex geometry to blockland is dealing with collision since only convex geometry is supported. For complex models I would just separate each face into its own collision plane but with too many faces blender will just crash when attempting to split the model. I'll get good performance on my Altar of Storms map which has 2000 collision faces in a tight area but bad performance with a large terrain map of 800 collision faces. Keep in mind the loading time is terrible in either scenario

General Discussion / Re: How would I make a static map?
« on: July 26, 2017, 11:06:55 AM »you can try breaking up large pieces into a bunch of smaller static shapes, should help. fairly sure the lag is caused by one object being in way too many oct tree zones
I have no idea what an oct tree zone is but I did a little bit of messing around with different setups.
There doesn't seem to be any lag coming from large or complex visual models. The bad performance I got was from scaling up simple collision objects

oh cool, you're still doing that stuff. that's neat to see.
It's an old pic. I stopped doing that stuff and then I forgot because I was discouraged by the performance issues with larger maps. It would be possible to make a Doom map maybe?
