Roads and tarmac terrain textures? Please help #2910

Open thomasmg81 opened 2 years ago

thomasmg81 commented 2 years ago

I am having a lot of frustration trying to get roads working in Game Guru Max - my current game project is a contempory suburban map. I am trying to get Sula's City Road pack from GGC working in GGM but i'm finding the parts are completely breaking the user interface. Parts cannot be easily selected once they're placed, some are appearing different sizes and cannot be deleted once they've been placed on map. All in all, a total headache. This leaves me with the idea of just painting a road directly onto the terrain itself, unfortunately GIMP will not allow me to open the terrain texture bank files to use as a reference. How if possible, can i add my own terrain textures and is there some sort of long term solution coming regarding roads? Badly need help, because i cannot really continue with current project without some sort of roads or tarmac solution Thanks in advance

You asked this on the forums or discord and was told its somthing to do with those models that were not made for GGMAX you may have to convert them properly yourself.

Sure, then can a tarmac or asphalt texture be added to next build for terrain painting? or explain how i can add custom textures to that palate. This is a question i have for the developers.

@thomasmg81 It would be useful if you could show us some screen shots or video of the issue. To do roads properly we would need to develop a road system editor for MAX. It's not something we're planning to do at this time but could be something we look at in the future.

@rvanner it is not an 'issue' per sae. I have created this rural scene in GGMax. Its intended to be a village set in England, UK sometime in the 1980s so i need a way to have roads and pavements with contemporary road markings. One workaround could be if there was a way i could import my own tarmac or asphalt texture into the terrain painting, and i could create my own pavement models. Untitled

I think that 3 new textures should be added to the texturing box to widen the game making capabilities a bit now, tarmac/asphalt, concrete, tiles, Sounds are already there i think 10 is for tarmac, stone can be used for the concrete/tiles for now.

@Necrym59 I can only see 'natural' textures at the moment. 10 is desert sand?

Necrym59 commented 2 years ago

I said material 'Sound' 10 is 'tarmac'. not used at present yet i think.

@Necrym59 Ok well if its intended to add tarmac to textures in future build, that is encouraging. A road system creator in the GUI would be ideal, but i can work with the texture.

A feature that we would like to add is the ability to use your own textures for the terrain. Once we add this then you would be able to paint the textures of your choice and you will not be locked into the ones we provide. I'll ensure it one of the features higher up on our list.
