sigget Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Ive figured out what most of these lookup textures are for but i dont understand this one. When is the population density needed? For generating missions? For calculating the number of bodies on the ground? For calculating the biomass growth rate? Im lost, do you have any ideas?

sigget Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 It seems likely that this map is used to determine wether a mission takes place in a city or out in the open. The large densities of this planet is in europe, eastern USA and northern india. Have you experienced an increased amount of city missions there?

Slaughter Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 When I started my game in USA I had city missions all the time. Think I had more or less no other mission types the first part of the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boks Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I modified the images slightly so it's clearer to see the colour differences.This is how the game determines what environment, terrain, vegetation and building type (european, asian, american etc.) to use when generating a map. peopdensity.tga - EnvironmentCityWildernesshttps://www.boks.staghosting.com/ufoa/images/mapgen/peopdensity_s.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------ land_map.tga - TerrainFlatHighlandLowlandMountainsUrbanhttps://www.boks.staghosting.com/ufoa/images/mapgen/land_map_s.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------ vegetation.tga - VegetationDesertPolarSteppe or prairieSubarcticSubtropicTemperate orientalTropical deciduosTropical rainforesthttps://www.boks.staghosting.com/ufoa/images/mapgen/vegetation_map_s.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------ cities.tga - Ublock set01-asie02-amerika03-vychodni_evropa04-small_plain_town05-zapadni_evropa06-jih07-arabiehttps://www.boks.staghosting.com/ufoa/images/mapgen/cities_s.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigget Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 Could you please put in a line for each image saying which file it is, and perhaps use colors instead, that makes them easier to read. Then id like to move this over to the modding reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boks Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Please correct me if I am wrong on any of it, I've not done extensive testing but they're what I think would seem make sense.I've probably missed out some terrain/vegetation types etc, so let me know which ones. They don't seem to be listed anywhere in gamedata.vfs (that I could find anyway). You can now click the pics for the full size jpg. If you want the full size modified tga's, let me know I had a go at making them colour, but didn't find an easy way which kept it accurate. The bigger pics should make it easier to see though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigget Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 Great, could you include cities and peopdensity aswell? use the normalize/equalize function on peopdensity after setting the sea color to black. The vegetation and land areas are described in tactical/configs/generator, there's a file for each area. EDIT: Oh sorry, they were included. Would you change them to color? The seven shades of grey in cities.tga are difficult to seperate, not to mention the 64 shades in land_map.tga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
