Title: Add On Environment

ADD ON ENVIRONMENT
https://youtu.be/DmKnCP6FUQc

This mod adds flocks of birds to the Anteworld environment.

ANYWHERE in the world you find yourself, in accordance with the set environmental conditions, you will see the local birds arrive to keep us company!
All as "background", the user can continue his exploration and use of vehicles.

 
Operation:
Unzip the "otx" file by installing it automatically.
Transport the "Expand_env_plugin.dll" plugin to the Outerra plugins folder.
Select "ENVIRONMENT EXPANSION (F L O C K S)" in the << Land >> menu of Anteworld and click on spawn.


Here is the link:

In the main folder of the ADD_ON_ENV project there is a presentation file "readme" in pdf format.

Happy adventures !!!   :)

Needs some of these.

And ... of course ... AI …   ::)

Who knows in the future!

For now the birds follow random patterns but mathematically predetermined.
It would already be a good result if the appearance of their movements was quite realistic.   :)

beautiful work ,, very good. Thanks for sharing with the community.
unfortunately I can not visualize it, for a long time I can not add objector to outerra, it always gives me error and I have not been able to solve it.
but your work looks very good.

Thanks  aWac9, always very kind!   :D

I followed your problems (disconcerting) with Outerra but, not having answers, I could not contribute to a solution.
If this is the reason why my mod does not work ... even in this case I have no solutions.

Unfortunately, seeing the cubes of the bounding box of the flocks indicates that the program has a stop immediately following its departure to the point of not being able to perform even the very first instructions that delete the bounding box to the user's view ...

Some small tips:

Make sure you have copied the plugin "Expand_env_plugin.dll" (which is placed in the data plugins folder)
 in the <plugins> folder of OUTERRA (that of the program).

Check that you are using the latest version (17.0.3.8141) ... it is the only version that I have tested the program ... I do not think it works with previous versions.

If you still do not get the job try to report what kind of error it detects outerra.
Activate the log (alt + l) and read the messages in red at the bottom of the screen (or publish a screenshot).

Who knows if we can find a remedy …   ::)

WARNING


I apologize to everyone.   :-[
I found, just now, a problem on the execution of the mod ...

The birds followed the user, reliably, only in UFO mode.

I have corrected the defect: now the execution complies with the prerogatives of the program even when the user is driving a vehicle.

Please if anyone has already downloaded, perform the installation procedure again with the current correct version.

Still excuses ... andfly

Awesome! Thanks again for making your creations available to the rest of us, Andfly! I appreciate your generosity!

Thanks Pat!
My intent is always the same: to contribute to increasing the interest and enthusiasm of the public for this magnificent Outerra-Engine.
If my mods are nice ... better.
If, for my non-professional approach, they sin of precision or interactivity ... I'm sorry ... but they still indicate the passion and stubbornness of those who, in love with Outerra, continue to "try".
If I do not get enthusiasm ... at least curiosity!
(this is also interest).

I was very pleased to hear from you again ...
Good adventures!    :)

a question ..... the bird mods are working with earth7? I have errors.
Thank you

Unfortunately, the birds' DLL was compiled, and it worked, for the previous version of Anteworld (17.0.3.8141).
If you try to use it with the current version, you receive error messages and no operation is obtained.

I tried to re-compile it to make it compatible but ... I could not.

I understand that it is missing a file (function.h) that is called by dynarray.h and dir.h (in which it is declared as included) and that, for this reason, the compilation is not successful.
But ... I'm not at all sure.

I had thought, for the moment, to wait and keep trying …   :(

let's hope that andfly gives us again their mods .. the folder of their models just work some ..
ideally, you will find time to repair them and group them in a job.
We would appreciate that.
andfly. we need your mods  ;)

Thank you.

Tell us how you carry the work of your project FW190A3

Hi aWac,
please do not be angry, because it was just jok. ;)

Because of 190s it goes on slowly. I'm doing UVW-Mapping and Texturing it at the same time. Since I have made it too detailed and would like that all there
that's how it gets into the textures, that's a lot of work. So, wait and look for easter eggs ... =D

Hi andfly ! Any news about the addon environment in earth7 after cameni added some files ?  I still unfortunately get errors. Do in need to redownload and reinstall outerra ? Any patches should be updated automatically , no ?

Hi , fly77

After that cameni has promptly added the missing files I managed to make the plugin compliant for the current version of Outerra.
(The current plugin CAN NOT work, even reinstalling the program)

But I realized a number of defects in the program ...
The most obvious is precisely the principle of movement of birds that fly randomly and are slowed down when they go too far.
I do not like it anymore ... when the speed becomes very low the birds change direction too suddenly and unrealistic ...
They should do wide and elegant turns ...
I'm trying to develop different and better principles of movement without affecting too much the speed of execution ...

So, before republishing the plugin, I would try to improve it by correcting other minor technical flaws that I detected.

Unfortunately, at this moment, I no longer have the same free time I had a few months ago and ... real life takes precedence over the virtual one!

I will try, however, to conclude this work which I hold dear and, as soon as I am ready, I will not fail to publish it.  :)
