A Few Questions.
« on: March 03, 2012, 07:17:23 am »

Hi,

1. When I buy the Anteworld game, do I have the same grapichs, vechicles and options as in the Outerra video's?
2. It is possible to make models self for outerra? Can I edit the world, like I make a airport or place buildings?

We have tested it with XBOX PC controller too, though I'm not sure if it's currently balanced well. Did anyone else try it with a controller?

What I don't understand is, is Outerra based on Google Earth? Is the whole world rendered?

Yes, I am trying with my cheap knock off ps2 copy controller. Saitek 2600 I think. All buttons and analogue sticks work ok. Only a few other things needed as far as I can tell:

To be able to assign look around to the D-Pad (which I think Mr Angrypig is looking at )
Deadzones and sensitivites for the analogue sticks (although this is for proper joysticks also).

No it's not based on GE, it uses available world data (but not imagery as GE) together with procedural algorithms to render the Earth.

At the moment you have to do it as a piece of road. Put two way points, set the width that you need.
More advanced tools will be coming.

Oke, and how long will it take to that update? Do you know that?
And how can I fly in that colored Cessna, and Drive into the other vehicles as shown in the video's? And can I fly at lukla? If I go to the coordinates there is no airport. But in the Video, I see that airport.

Not sure, there's a lot of stuff that needs to be done and it will depend on the priorities as well. But it's one of the first tasks to do.

Vehicles are available through the menu. The Cessna plane is textured as needed for the game, but the original textured model can be released as a mod, I'll ask our modeler if it can be done.

Lukla isn't there now, it needs to be reconstructed - there was a terrain dataset change (see here), that brought better detail, unfortunately it turned out that the old dataset was shifted and the elevations were off by a few meters, and the old Lukla scenery ended up being buried under the ground.

Is it possible to drive in the Tatra truck? It has a better quality I think, as the video's.

Both are Tatras, actually. Do you mean the older one, T813? Press key '5'

I think the animations on the old tatra were more natural. The new truck has very fast and un-dampened movements and also the wheels reset to too low a position like there is no load. The actual driving physics I don't THINK have changed.
