just want ot bump this up again. have a look at Blinks game after 4 december. blink, i really want to see it as it looks great. can u give a link?

Erm guys, why bump this thread ?

Everyone in the world (ever) has read this thread, I'm more than certain it wont be too hard to find it again.

Squize.

Just book mark it, if you want to find it.

What about the pruning of the pages? Eventually it will drop off into oblivion.

the end of the world, jsut like that pong movie...

how am i gonna find it again if it goes into oblivion?
do they have search engines there?

hey. I like the engine you guys are using, very creative. I pretty much just found this thread and i was tryin to use percy's engine he was showing off, but, though I got the landscape and everything, I cant move. Any suggestions? :confused:

download blink or strilles fla. their a lot better (although based on percypeas). its very hard to help without any code. if u copied the code straight into ur flash, then it should work

Keep The Game Going Its Doing Well.


Or Is It Done Already

Can this be done with Flash 5 ??? cuz i tried the fla and it doesn work

It uses dynamic masks, so it won't work in anything lower than Flash MX.

ok thanks

The whole engine can be realized in Flash4, but of course with a lot of modification :o)
The masks can be duplicated. There is no need to draw them with Actionscript.

what fla. r u talking about now

i cop flash mx 2004 and the z_mapping.fla says: unexpected data. how come?

This is offically the first fourm I've ever unsuscribed from. It just won't die. Why don't they just sticky it.

u probably got flash mx, and therefore u cant open it.

hey! i am having a little problem with the z-mapping... The maps don't load right... It keeps skipping and jumping into maps when it's not supposed to... and the maps don't load right too! Can someone help?

Here is a link to my file:
z-mapping

It's a geocities site... if the swf file doesn't load.. copy the url and paste it into a new window, and load it...

the entire stage consists of 20 pieces! the original z-mapping track only had 7 pieces... this one has 20.

no one can help???

hi, a couple of people have asked me for my z_mapping version with the trees and characters. unfortunatly a can't find it anymore so if anyone downloaded it and still has a copy could you post a link.
in case anyone doesn't have a link i've uploaded a game i was workin on (a tank game). now remember that this game is in it's earliest stages and needs an enormous amount of work to complete.
my server is always chock-a-block so i'll prolly only have it there for a couple of days.
everyone is welcome to use it (and any of the models in it) as they please.

have fun and thanks
blink

is this the one u were asaking for?

thanks but the one i'm talking about was called z_mapping1.zip (i think) it had trees and a elvis dude in it.

i searched my drive and found it
the file is too large for my post limit so i'll
e-mail it to you:)

oh can you eamil it to me too please Tyg. this new 3d engine is really cool so i badly want to study it. Too bad I did poorly in calc to understand this well, but I'll pull out the books this weekend.


btw awesome engine guys.

Hey !

I don't know if it's this one, but here it is :

thanks lux! i think that's it.

the fla file doesnt have elvis dude in it nor trees

hey there blink,ages no see,hope you´re fine =)
i know i have the file at home,so if no one posted the right one yet,i can do so =) (i´m still at the office,so you´d have to wait some hours)

actually tyg mailed it to me however i need someone to host it. if you can host it that would be grat.
thanks
blink

no probs,i´ll upload it once i get home =)

thanks to tomsamson for salvaging it.
blink

Thanks for the file Blink! It gives me something to compare my 3D placement to.


btw: what ever happened to phreax and his Elvis volleyball game?

many thanx @blink and tomsamson!!! my heroes! :)

thanks guys.. but I am still having the problem with the jumpy map... what are the dimensions of the tracks that I have to use? 1000x1000?

Just a note.

I have tried to get real bumps with the engine, but its hardly a performance issue.

try here
(drag the slider)

It's coded in AS2 and I must say, I begin to love this new flashscriptinglanguage :o) I think I can reduce the time per frame to 1/10, but its never going to be realtime.

wohow!!! how come u always make such great things? dont u get bored of it? ;)












i was half expecting to see a german tank or smoehting come over that hill :D

haha, a good question. There are days, I can't see that **** :o)

But today, I recoded the mode7 engine in AS2 and found a solution to readout the (polygon-)height from a given GroundPoint. What to say...
I must do it :o)

didn´t get to read most posts in the last few days (good thing i took some days off from work now =) ),just wanted to say
nice stuff andré,are you intending to push this further?

I think not. It's a performance issue. No way to get this playable.
