Any one know why I had to multiply isotemp.pal's RGB values by 2.45 (random guess, just changed it to 3.00... So I do not know...) to get them to a color they should be? is that some kind of ambient light level? If that is true any one know what its really meant to be?

colors are only 6 bit, not 8 for c&c palettes.
so actually you have to multiply each R G and B value with 4 to get the real color.

This is some excellent research and coding you've done there.
Will you offer this to PPM as well. Would be an awesome feature if the site can show VXL, SHP and TMP directly.

Any one know why I had to multiply isotemp.pal's RGB values by 2.45 (random guess, just changed it to 3.00... So I do not know...) to get them to a color they should be? is that some kind of ambient light level? If that is true any one know what its really meant to be?

colors are only 6 bit, not 8 for c&c palettes.
so actually you have to multiply each R G and B value with 4 to get the real color.

This is some excellent research and coding you've done there.
Will you offer this to PPM as well. Would be an awesome feature if the site can show VXL, SHP and TMP directly.

I will have to look into what you are saying about the * 4 RGB values... I coded some weird hex-2-RBG thing, as that is what I thought Ra2/YR used but the look of the data... It works but is a little odd...

Ya, like if I told MigEater a wail ago, it would be awesome if other people can find a way to use anything I do. Its just, I am still developing it slowly or when I have free time.

But, If any one wants to use a current version of anything let me know, I try to come up with some thing... I just did not think any one would care...

And, if any one want to see code, let me know and I can try to do some thing about that too, my concern is I am a pretty novice programmer and my code isn't too hot... it works and I am proud that I can do this but I sure there is a better code/way...

Tested in Opera USB 12.17 and an old Internet Explorer.

Okay... Maybe I should say somewhere that I have only tested this stuff in chrome... >_<

This does use webGL so a modern browser would be needed. So an old version of IE most likely will not work...

For Opera...
http://techdows.com/2012/06/turn-on-hardware-acceleration-and-webgl-in-opera-12.html
Could be the issue...? I know nothing about that browser...

People should really just use chrome... Razz

Anyways...

http://zombapro.ppmsite.com/experiment/sphdraw.php

I have added a few trees. Razz

Now I have to figure out what to do about shadows and proper tile location for objects...

and!

I re-coded tile creation on the canvas, original was to sloppy and expensive... Laughing

this one i can see though. So this must be different than the VXL viewer.

TerrainTypes should be centered when you subtract Tile.Height/2 (12 for TS, 15 for RA2, the value stands in the header of the TMP) from their position.

To hell with Chrome. My workplace is strictly Firefox anyway. Opera is afaik a reskinned Chrome nowadays as well.

Chrome is the best! Razz

It really just comes to personal preferences...

Anyways...

Does any one understand the shp compression format... Because I am a little lost...

This only shows the first 8 frames data for tany.shp... So do not worry its not the whole file... XP
http://zombapro.ppmsite.com/experiment/readinfantryTANYshow.php

As seen some of the frames "span data" is wrong...

This is the first time i have had to deal with this and its a little odd...

http://xhp.xwis.net/documents/ccfiles4.txt

From what I read here, it says that if the compression is used, you will need a specific frame drawn first to continue...

This seems fine... But what I need to find out is how long each rows "span data" is. Also what frame is needed... and does the needed frame define the offsets/sizes...

If any one knows please help... In the meantime I will keep pondering and testing...

This is so weird... Razz

hummm...

This is from BS shp builder...
http://svn.ppmsite.com/filedetails.php?repname=OS+SHP+Builder&path=%2FOS+SHP+Builder+3.3x%2FShp_File.bak

Quote:

THeader_Image = record
x,y,cx,cy : word; {cx and cy are width n height of stored image}
compression,unknown,zero,offset : longint; {Unknown}
end;

this says compression,unknown,zero,offset are longint (4 bytes) each...

But I was looking at "unknown" as two words (2 bytes) each, and I found that the second word comes close to a number that is the "Y" size of the sprite... So I wonder if this is the "rows" of pixels for that frame...

This shows only frame 2's header and data...

Whats interesting is that unknown is close to what I am guessing the number or rows should be... as "frame 2: Number Rows = 29" seems like its one row to many... However the formatting I have is totally made up... So its probably not right... >_<

Code:

THeader_Image = Frame Number = 2{
X = 59
Y = 32
CX = 9
CY = 29
compression = 1
//-------Skip 2 bytes
unknown = 28 //----- read this as word not longint
zero = 0
offset = 30536
}

}

Look! you can even see her... (that is Tanya frame 3)...

Have I figured out the compression already with out knowing... Like below how I had to get the length of each row of data... and the number of transparent pixels...

Code:

spanleng = 9 { 0,0,8,214,95,171,0,11, }
spanleng = 17 { 0,0,4,121,55,0,1,107,68,38,153,109,107,153,0,8, }
spanleng = 19 { 0,0,4,202,214,107,109,24,24,186,202,202,7,95,109,153,0,5, }
spanleng = 22 { 0,0,2,119,38,0,2,173,107,21,21,118,153,132,0,1,107,7,95,0,5, }

Is that really it ... WTH! #Mad

Then what the hell is all the stuff about useing previouse frame from this document:
http://xhp.xwis.net/documents/ccfiles4.txt
Snipet from doc....

Quote:

The Format20 images use the same format as the Format40, the difference is
that they are xor-ed with the image that precedes them in the file. That can
be either in Format20 or in Format40.
The offset part of the RefOffs field contains the number of the first
Format40 image in the chain, and the format field is always 48h.

Here's an example :

0) Off0(three bytes) 80h 000000h 00h
1) Off1(three bytes) 80h 000000h 00h
2) Off2(three bytes) 40h Off1 80h
3) Off3(three bytes) 80h 000000h 00h
4) Off4(three bytes) 40h Off1 80h
5) Off5(three bytes) 20h 000400h 48h
6) Off6(three bytes) 20h 000400h 48h
7) Off7(three bytes) 40h Off3 80h

For example to draw image 7, you have to draw the image 3 first (whose offset
and format are given) and then xor image 7 over it.

WTH!

Is there some thing I haven't seen yet... I am scared...

Sorry for not responding your PM, buddy.

I have little to none comprehension of the TD/RA1 SHP encoding formats. In OS SHP Builder, I've pratically adapted XCC Mixer code into it. The encoding used in TS/RA2 SHPs are a way easier.

Phrohdoh · Soldier **Joined**: 12 Feb 2015 **Location**: Texas, USA

MadHQ, take a peek at the OpenRA SpriteLoaders, wiki, and cnc.wikia.com for inspiration.
Best of luck!

The gen2 (TS/RA2) sprites are indeed much more simplistic RLE sprites mostly.

MadHQ · Commander **Joined**: 07 Nov 2003

This stuff from openRa says there only two formats 1 & 3. (others just look like the same.)

Code modified/removed to not pass code that isn't mine around. Left comments in

Code:

if (Format == 3){
// Format 3 provides RLE-zero compressed scanlines
}else{
// Format 2 provides uncompressed length-prefixed scanlines
// Formats 1 and 0 provide an uncompressed full-width row
}

Then what was that other stuff from XCC's doc? Was it TD/RA1 SHP encoding formats? I did not want to read those files... Olaf van der Spek should note that more clearly...

Other then that, I guess I have all the info I need for shp's... I think... I hope... Now time for the next step. Razz

Thanks!

I've posted an updated format description for the C&C SHP files to that thread. There is another SHP format which the C&C and RA mouse cursor files are in that dates back to Dune2 at least as well.

Anyway I think I am going to try and make some kind of twin-stick-shooter game, A Tanya commando mission I guess...

Still much to do...

Better controls
Work in more frames
Bigger map
Layer sorting for objects
... you should get the idea.

Do you plan to create some kind of map renderer for the browser, which shows SHPs, VXL and TMP together?
Otherwise i'm a bit confused in which case you wanna use this, as there is usually only one asset type at a time offered/uploaded.

None the less an impressive work.
You could create some kind of browser game using c&c assets.

Anyways been playing with Trains...

Sort of frustrating TBH... Trying to size these right is a pain in the arse!

I gave up on the idea of them being 1X1... some of them are 3X1... SO these would have to be used as decoration only...

And still a few things to fix...

You could try giving the long trains an invisible "connector wagon" between 2 real wagons, so the distance works.

Graphic wise they look nice. A few of the finer 1 voxel big lines should be better anti-aliased as they look quite pixelated.

Yeah, I need this! tech Police station could provide some firepower into urban areas. I am definitively going to use.

Regarding trains. I am not using them, and never used or got interested in them, but they can prove nice eye candy for maps, especially yours. Very professional work.

After a few changes
-color fix
-normal fix
-size/location fix
-some de-pixeling fixs as Lin Kuei Ominae suggested

And after placing them in a "scene", I do not hate them. I have been sitting on those for a wail... just couldn't get motivation to try and finish them tell today...

Would have to be used as decoration though... but that is fine.

So, are you working on train tracks next? At the moment it looks a odd having trains with them being on tracks.

MadHQ · Commander **Joined**: 07 Nov 2003

I could make some tracks at some point... But isn't there tracks around that can be use?

When your trains are viewed from the side, then why don't the lines, along the sides of the trains, appear completely horizontal?

MadHQ · Commander **Joined**: 07 Nov 2003

Are you talking about these? (see attached image)

If so, it has to do with how the normal's work and the color chosen... I am not sure if there is a "good" yellow color to use...

Yellow/Blue/Green colors just do not work well... But I use them for when they do work. so there is some variety and life to the voxels.

So I am not sure I can do anything about that...

Why are the yellow lines not straight? They are diagonal very slightly. The lines on the other trains are better examples of what I'm talking about.

It almost looks like the hva tilts the entire voxel for just a few degrees, thus making the lines not perfect horizontal.
Some wagon details are also 1 voxel higher on one side than the other.

Though it might be even a nice idea to make the hva animated and have the vxl tilt for +1° and -1°, so it looks like it moves over uneven terrain.

@G-E - I will have to try some "irregular colour patterns" some time to see if it does.

@ViPr & Lin Kuei Ominae - HOLY CRAP! I see what you mean now. >_< And I have no idea... I have not changed the rotation at all, I have only changed position. I guess I will have to look at that, as ya it is slightly tilted. does not show in vxl edit, only in-game... and I do not notice in HVA builder (visually)... weird...

And I guess maybe I will have to make some train tracks some time...

Well I am giving up on a modded mission pack project I was working on. Ended up being too much work.
So I am just going to release things as they are. Not everything is complete, what you see is pretty much it.
I am doing this because I want to spend more time playing with html5 stuff.

Are the matrixes in the HVA files, for the trains, not just simply zeros and ones? Are there matrixes elsewhere in the voxel data files? I don't remember.

By the way, I think your pre-rendered sprites need some simulation of reflection effects such as specular. I noticed I've said this so many times now on this forum to various people.

Nice ! :O

The SHPs need proper lighting. SW facing walls need to be brighter than the shadowed SE facing walls (which currently have no shadow at all).
Detail is nice though, but the missing/bad lighting ruins them.

How did he get the shadows to go in the correct direction with the light in the wrong location?

Using different light sources, usually strong one for shadow and a weak one for ambient, though he might have even used a 3rd or more light sources.
Since shadow frames need a different model anyway, with the object itself having the background color so it gets invisible,
it's no problem to set there a different lighting.

For some of my TI buildings i also lowered the light source for the shadow frames, to give them a tad longer shadows, which would have otherwise cast no or only very small shadows due to for example slanted walls on the building, which would have taken most of the shadow.

\Edit
looking at the church he might have set only the strength of the light sources wrong, since the tower casts correct a shadow on the roof. Even though a rather weak shadow.
e.g.
he is using a
directional light with 0.01 intensity but 100 for the shadow intensity (so he gets a shadow even for this super weak light)
and an omni light with 1.0 intensity and Ambient only checked.
Thus even the shadowed areas are that bright due to the way too strong ambient omni light and weak shadow light.

Usually i use a 0.75 directional light for the main lighting and shadow casting
and an Ambient only 0.25 omni light, so the shadowed areas aren't pitch black.

Ya Lin Kuei Ominae is right.

But I still use flyboys/pd's ra2 script for 3dsmax... I have always used this... So all my shp's have always suffered this problem...

Truthfully, I think allot of Ra2/Yr's buildings do this as well... There a few examples in the image below.

Ah! and a little more play with my shp/temp/(possible)game HTML 5 canvas thing.

I have this clock at I some where around 15 FPS (for right now)... This is just for animation speed. anything faster and it looks to fast.

AH! I almost forgot... The rotations for voxels should only be in the HVA files... As there is only voxel size/bounds in the voxel files them self.

... I think...

But vxl edit can show hva transformation data. 2nd attach image shows one of the trains data... As seen there is no rotation, just diagonal 1's for scale and the I guess I will call it "z" location.

Now the 1st image is a "from scratch" voxel... from vxl edit, size 250x10x50.
Now I did not nor have I edited the HVA file. All data shows no rotation...

So maybe its the RA2 engine...

The 140.5 is in the HVA header. This view is a bit tricky, because the matrix is part of the HVA and isn't part of the VXL header

Ya that what I said.

vxl edit seems to show the hva matrix transformations, it must be some thing they have added in. And as seen there is no rotation.

Also the 140.5 is not in the header of a HVA file, its in one of the frames matrix... the link below shows the HVA data for the same train VXL's HVA file...

What if you made the voxel face to the left instead of the right? Will it still be tilted the same way relative to the screen or to the vehicle itself?

MadHQ · Commander **Joined**: 07 Nov 2003

Okay, took screen shots with more facings... Its still there...

It really must be the games engine.

Unless some one can prove otherwise... There is just not much I can do, other than maybe create a fake tilt angle in the HVA file...

Actually, I just checked. The VXL file itself (not just the HVA file) contains space for what could be matrix data, although I do not know why, and I do not know whether the game engine ignores it. My voxelizer software fills it with identity matrix data (ones and zeros in the backslash pattern).

ViPr · Gauss Rifle Trooper **Joined**: 30 Dec 2004

It appears that it is slightly tilted counter-clockwise relative to the camera, as if the camera itself was tilted clockwise. Tilting the voxel will be useless then. Anyway, all I really care about is determining which program is causing this error. It seems it might be the game itself.

This seems like a really bizarre bug for the game to have. I can't imagine how someone would manage to make an error like this.
