Getting there, did not think it was going to take that video but it did after about 1hr., works great, thanks BTR and Reaper. See the squad web links, left side main page.
Hey all,
Blue are you still working on this? I'm certain I can dig up a copy of the original DSS site. I also have tons of 'stuff' if your missing anything from the transition or want more. I never deleted a thing!!!
Inso
Keeping with the spirit of your original post, might be cool to have a 'fun night' no competition roll back day once a month for an hour or two.
"Insofucious say: The day is only long when life is short!"
As far as I know, 'we' are still working on this. 'We' being Reaper - as he picked up the ball and started running with it. He was on the C4 scene long before I was - and was also much more active. From what I can understand, most of the research has been done and collected. I think it ended up being MUCH more than Reaper was planning on doing. Since Reaper has a firm understanding on where he was wanting to go with this, all I am doing is providing a place for it to be - and offering support where I can. I would love to see this project completed, but with -- a full time job, the fire department, 2 small girls and one heading to college... I truly understand time not being available.
The good thing is this - Reaper has managed to save a huge store of the C4 history. We know its here - and it will eventually be made available to the community. All of this having been said, I think the additional info would be most welcome. Thank you for the offer.
The 'fun night' is just fine with me. It cannot be Monday - as I usually have training on that night.
Ok I guess I should do an update. What no knows exept for Blue is aware of is much of what I had planned is completed (lets call it stage 1) and has been uploaded already. However not everything I want to publish is finished. I asked Blue not to link to the pages or take Legacy live untill I was ready and I am not ready yet.
Hello Inso, Good to hear from you again, as far as I can tell I have your last version of the DSS website. I will explain what I have planned in a minute, But it would be nice is if you can do a history page of the DSS squad and place it in the squad section here. Click the DIE squad link and you can see what I did with that and you can see kind of where this is going.
I do have a question for you about terrains I always wanted to ask you, How did you create the .CPT file for the terrains you were going to release in your expantion, that is the only c4 mod stuff I have not been able to figure out.
Ok now a little about Legacy. Yes I am still working on it however as I have been very busy the last 6 months the time I spend on it has been limited. Because I know most squads will not do a history page I am creating squad dossiers myself the idea being I would like to list as many squads and there members as I can on the site. The Dossier is just a limited information page to show when the squad was active and who the members were.
I recovered game end scores from varous places that I am going to post also Red Baron let me have everything for SAI to use also.
I don't have a eta of when I will be ready to make the links of stage one available, All I can say is it's alot of work and is taking alot of time.
But here is a list of what is done and what I want to finish before I make the site available.
Completed:
Player Dossier, Players Memorial, Help and Game Tech Archives, Die Squad 4X4 TDM page, NovaLogic and the Comanche Series Background, Comanche 4 Development and Release, Comanche 4 trivia challenge quiz, Game problems and the community, No Counts a community divided, C4 League History, Get Ranked History and recovered rankings, Pit Fighters One on One Ranking ladder.
Being worked on:
Squad Dossiers, game score screen shots albums, Killers Hydras ranking and tourney history.
Hi Reaper,
I will take a look at the links and work on a history page.
As for the cpt files, after culling thru a stack of notebooks and kicking the dust out of my headI never ever came up with a way to create them from scratch. However, using the 10d.CPT 'Dessert Terrain' and listing that in the TRN file
'polytrn_polydata 10d.cpt'
worked for all of my terrains. Loaded fine, and ran fine. No issues with color, alignment, or elevation.

If they're identical to the CPT files for BHD and newer games, I'm sure someone has figured out how to create them from scratch... Try the MOD Depot or the Delta Force Reload...:

No the CPT file for c4 has more data than any later game. I went as far as converting terrains from C4 to both BHD and JO, just so I could compair the CPT files to find a way to use the CPT generater from either game and convert the height map back to C4 by hand but c4 CPT includes data the other games do not.
I even contacted NovaLogic and asked them to let me have the terrain generator for C4 LOL but was told no.
The problem with using any stock C4 CPT file is the terrain doesn't blend when flying the terrain, you get a popping effect as you fly across the terrain. I use that method at times when I mod the game for my peronal use when I really want a terrain with specail attributes. In practice you could alter the height map data of a stock CPT file and it could improve performance but the work involved just isn't worth it. I just thought I would asked since I know INSO had messed with the terrains also and thought he may have created a converter back then.
I have c4league and old lrs pages if you want them (don't know where or who to upload to)
cheers
