imo they look just perfect in openra.
thinks that are missing would be lattiles and different groundtypes + doubble height cliffs

i'm ok with current terrain. only i worry about for now is remap color for my unit , current game speed and some logic i'm not sure it can work.

This engine can handle almost anything. If you want some behavior that is not supported yet, come ask a programmer nicely in #openra and it might get written for you.

nice to hear that. then will start to make new project on next week.

#openra you say is IRC?

it's voxel? it possible to use voxel in ORA?

no...no voxel.
i converted imported the original voxel to 3dsmax and rendered it as a shp.
works really nice and is easy...this way a whole bunch of voxels could be ported to openra

same here

something that helps a bit is to "remove redundant voxels" before import

it look nice i like it size.

another (maybe better) way to convert voxels to shp is to use vxlse 3´s function to export the voxels to obj-format.
this can be imported to 3dsm and be rendered afterwards.

i tried this with one of my RAlike voxels

Looking awesome.

i know

but camera needs to be tweaked for converted voxels.

Greetings,

i tried to edit an existing shp (biolab-building) with the "open source shp builder"

problems i've got so far:

1. i saved using the tiberian dawn pallette and the game crashed

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Ein Aufrufziel hat einen Ausnahmefehler verursacht. ---> System.IO.InvalidDataException: Ungültige Daten beim Decodieren gefunden.
bei OpenRA.FileFormats.ShpReader.Decompress(Stream stream, ImageHeader h)
bei OpenRA.FileFormats.ShpReader..ctor(Stream stream)
bei OpenRA.Graphics.SpriteLoader.LoadSprites(String filename)
bei OpenRA.FileFormats.Cache`2.get_Item(T key)
bei OpenRA.Graphics.Sequence..ctor(String unit, String name, MiniYaml info)

2. i can't reopen shp's with the "open source shp builder"

Thanks in advance
