Blurb 124 wireframe textures | 31 colors x 4 sizes + 31 solids!

Detailed description

Well, I've created a massive wireframe texture pack. Inspired by node 1712, it includes 124 textures. It has 31 colors, and four sizes (32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256). Anti-aliasing shouldn't be a problem, as all textures wire'frame' have a width of 4 pixels in the .png (So the frame's border doesn't increase with the size of the frame). It's hard to explain.

If you want to use for anything, there are only two things I ask of you: credit me and don't use in commercial products.

Use Abuse Credit, BionicCryonic

EDIT: solids and bumpmaps added, sorta. Please ignore the .DS_store, it keeps coming back when I try to purge it. ;-;

Nice work. I very much like how you only needed four textures to get all hundred and some multi colored ones.. =)
Only thing I had trouble with is the "package" folder in the zip, I don't know if its a mac thing, by mine is "packages"
Either way, I like the content.

BionicCryonic | 2009-06-10 16:25

I'm not sure if it's safe (I've heard that it's, like, indecent or something), but I just go to the sauer icon, right-click, select show package contents, Contents/gamedata/packages, then slip bio/wf in that folder.

Also, I learned the 4 to 100 texture trick from aard's famous guacamole.

You should put your user-files in `/username/Library/Application Support/sauerbraten/

The Mac launcher also has a 'show user files' button which will take you to your app support directory.

BionicCryonic | 2009-06-10 17:54

I'm just used to puting packages in the packages folder. If I have a amp, I'll just stick it in the App Support.

Also, how do you get all of the cool directories in the App Support folder? If you can, how do you execute? (Like, do you stick it in the packages folder?) How does the game know which folder to look for it in?

Hapexamendios | 2009-06-10 20:23

It is exactly the same as what you see when you 'show package contents'.

If you want to add a map you've downloaded, it would go in ~/username/Library/Application Support/sauerbraten/packages/base/downloadedmap.ogz
If you edit and save a map, it will automagically appear in your Application Support folder.

If the directory isn't there...create it. Sauerbraten will read from ~/Application Support/sauerbraten/ just the same as it would for your application bundle.

The reasons not to change your package contents have more to do with security and trustworthiness of your application. The 'chain of provenance' leading to an execution as root, blah, blah. Not a huge concern for Sauerbraten but it's something to keep in mind.

BionicCryonic | 2009-06-10 21:43

I have the folder, I just didn't really know what to do with it other than save maps to it.

from a quick look at your package, you can get away with just using 1 texture, by using wf4.png

for wf3.png, use wf4.png with a texscale 0.5
wf2: tescale 0.25
wf: texscale 0.125
etc (and any inbetween sizes should it be desirable)

and viola, the amount of textures needing to be loaded into memory is 1/4 of the original
which also works better if you colour everything using mad, since each of those textures grab up their own memory, but if you use texscale, you'll reduce this pack's memory usage to roughly 1/4th of the original! only a small fraction of the other 3/4th would be used to simply keep track of the texture slots.

now isn't that worth optimising for! :D
I'm including an example of the wf3.png replacement

texture 0 "bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:1/0/0>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0.5/0/0>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0/1/0>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0/0.5/0>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0/0/1>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0/0/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:1/1/0>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:1/0.5/0>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:1/0/1>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:1/0/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0.5/1/0>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0/1/1>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0/1/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:1/0.5/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0.5/1/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0.5/0.5/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:1/1/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:1/0.5/1>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0.5/1/1>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0.5/0.5/0>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0.5/0/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5
texture 0 "<mad:0/0.5/0.5>bio/wf/wf4.png"
texscale 0.5

note: you can alternatively use texture 0 "blah" 0 0 0 .5 to achieve a texscale of 0.5

at any rate, nice work (and if you feel adventurous, you can try turning it into an alias, which when executed use $arg1 as the scale)

He used the texscale feature. The result? Real blurry wireframes. Even if I did do that, and anti-aliasing wasn't a problem, the frame width, wouldn't be right. Each textures frame is 4 pixels thick, scaling would make using different sizes together look strange. Everything has it's purpose, my friend.

WayaW | 2009-06-11 16:52

Then: is there a way to simply use the white grid "missing" texture for the same effect? just curious

BionicCryonic | 2009-06-11 19:58

You could try though.

FrenchBadPing | 2009-06-14 15:58

See that => http://www.quadropolis.us/node/1712

WayaW | 2009-06-14 18:23

He actualy mentions your node in the description. You two should combine your resources in an updated package. I would love to see the solid colors thrown in. You should also include some installation instructions.

Calinou | 2009-06-14 16:52

FrenchBadPing's textures are with normal maps.

BionicCryonic, you can use normal maps

texture n texturename.png

BionicCryonic | 2009-06-14 23:02

I have no clue what thing like 'texture 0' and 'texture g' and 'texture n' mean. If they work better as n's, I'll change them.

Also: I based this pack on his pack, but totally redid EVERYTHING.

BionicCryonic | 2009-06-15 01:10

I made a newpackage, with 'texture n's instead of 'texture 0's and whenever I try to execute my game crashes. Do I need both n's and 0's? Any tips?

Windecker | 2009-06-15 02:37

You have the 0, for the regular texture, and the N to specify a normal maps. You do have the normals, correct?

BionicCryonic | 2009-06-15 03:40

If you're saying I should put:

texture 0
texture n

together I can do that, but I don't think I have normals. I could probably make them if I knew what they were.

D_wicked | 2009-06-28 09:07

You could just make some normals in infranview.
If you have that program, then it's simple, you just do the emboss effect, and then enhance colours to blue ( 255 )
These should work in a way, it's better then nothing.
Hope this is helpfull.

FischKopF | 2009-06-17 19:31

Everyone can do this in paint. 0/0

BionicCryonic | 2009-06-17 20:00

No one did it this extensively. 4 sizes? Nope. 31 colors each? Nope. What would you rather do, make this entire pack yourself or just download it? As far as I can tell, this is the highest quality wireframe pack, doesn't matter if it could've been done in paint.

EDIT: 0/0 is division by zero. Have a happy eternity in the abyss of mathematic theory.

Have a happy eternity in the abyss of mathematic theory. HA! You made me fall off my chair!

Nice. I can't get to the first link, but the seconds is still a good one.

Laraso | 2010-05-15 19:52

I'm probably a little late commenting on an almost one year old mod, but this still seems to be pretty high up on the new mods list. Please forgive me if I'm breaking any rules.

Anyways, this whole thing seems pretty useless to me considering you can just press the 8 button while in edit mode and it turns everything into a wire frame for you. No need to download 124 textures (I bet that makes the F2 menu look really sloppy), just press the freaking 8 button.

I think a texture pack full of textured colors would be nice, as in a red color and a blue color and a green color, except they have some texture to them so they don't look too plain, sorta like the carpet textures but not. That would be very nice, seeing as cube doesn't seem to have anything like that.

Windecker | 2010-05-15 20:30

These do not exist for the purpose of editing, they are to texture a map just like any other texture.

BlikjeBier | 2010-05-15 21:19

A bit like this perhaps?

BionicCryonic | 2010-05-16 23:06

Well, sir, I have taken your request to heart and have added solid colours.

I've had bumpmaps for a while, but repackaging was just too much of a hassle, and still is. So please, just delete the .DS_store.
