Saying you won't get the engine yet isn't saying you didn't do something you shouldn't have, I just picked a couple of people. I just want them to see if they could help map and tell me a couple of bugs before I give it to more people.

Oh well then I am not that person to help with bugs

I just want to play my favorite game with other people.

not help so much as to point them out

I've both mapped (well at least with teh hammre) and tested beta softwarezz/

That said I can't actually help because my internet connection is fucked.

If you need me to, I could probably make some models.  The thing is, I'm mostly familiar with Maya PLE because I'm a cheap ass that doesn't like to pirate.  How you get a Maya file into a working model isn't up to me either.

Sauerbraten doesn't directly support heightmap images, but it supports heightmaps laid out like

00000
00200
05100
00240
00300
Like a 2D view.


The Sauerbraten maps are in an octree format which BigRigs does not use.

Before much can be done we need to figure out the model format, which I think we are close to doing. I know *how* to write an SCO importer for Blender, I just don't know the code.

the importer would need to read in coordinates and place vertices at each coordinate.

If you switch this to Source engine i can totally make the maps, it's extremely easy mapping in source.  Converting textures to VTF format is also very easy.  I don't know a whole lot coding for it though.  Sauerbraten I'm not too impressed with.  Darkplaces /Nexuiz engine would probably easier.  Unless if you guys know its possible to map in Hammer for Sauerbraten (i know its possible with darkplaces).

Thank you gamefreak

People are very eager to play this!

hey, that's me in the comments!

I don't believe any of us are skilled enough to do something like this.

Well we definitely wouldn't be able to pull it off as well as Stellar Stone, but I'm sure we could to an admirable job.

I made a Big Rigs flash game once, with realistic building clipping and gray void action.  I might have posted it before, but unfortunately I don't have it anymore.

i remember that

didnt it have mc hammer playing too?
