SGTRock Posted October 10, 1999 Share Posted October 10, 1999 Are shell holes going to be a depression in the ground or just a big flat black spot that acts as a modifier? I'm for the depression more than just a black spot, little more realistic. ------------------ Sgt.

Guest Big Time Software Posted October 10, 1999 Share Posted October 10, 1999 Impossible to do depressions. This would require remaking the entire terrain tile on the fly since the depression requires that a "hole" be poked into the tile. The result would cost a couple dozen polygons per shell hit (some for the depression, some to create the "hole" in the tile).

SGTRock Posted October 10, 1999 Author Share Posted October 10, 1999 Yeah, I thought as much but still had my hopes on the latter thanks Steve. ------------------ Sgt. Rock Says " War is Hell, but games are fun " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komet Posted October 14, 1999 Share Posted October 14, 1999 how will you know if your guys are in, on the edge, or outside of the shellhole? how much cover will you receive while in the shell hole, the same amount as a stone house or a unique amount for shellholes. Just curious and bored waiting for the game. it seems to be an eternal wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted October 14, 1999 Share Posted October 14, 1999 A) you will know if they are in a shellhole cause they graphically appear in it and there's a line in the unit screen saying what type of terrain they are in. If in a shellhole this will read "Shellhole" It's a unique amount for a shellhole. ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
