just need some script game tell player some useful things.
About TA3d's own campaign,my frirend very interesting in this, but fortunately,his english poor than me.and so,i wanna the Visualization script editor,hmm,may now it can be unimportant.But a day,there must a script editor Not subject to Language

in last,i just show my ecstasy!how great your job,it's crazy,nice job in multigame

you can experiment game scripts, it's basic lua and you have all the functions prototypes in a .txt file in docs/.

Current TA3D version needs a main function in game script. This function is called every tick but global code is executed at loading time, so you can initialize things. If you need examples, run a campaign mission, leave the game and read the __campaign_script.lua file created in [archive_resource_folder]/scripts/, it's a lua version of mission commands.

As far as TA3D 1.0 is concerned, we're almost there regarding the engine, but the main requirement for 1.0 is a free set of resources in order to get a standalone and completely free game.

If you want you can help us with that, it's all about creating HD versions of TA textures/units/weapons/...

anyway thanks for posting

HD versions of TA textures/units/weapons/...

well,i think i can call some friend help in it,but may need a Simplified version editer,or it had show every things in Clear Icon?

in the source package there is a mods/ta3d folder which contains the list of what needs to be remade. Currently there is only one tool to make 24/32 bits GAFs : the hpiview module of ta3d, it is included in the ta3d binary (type ta3d --help for more information).

There is a bug in this module in 0.5.0 and 0.5.1, it's fixed in current 0.5.x dev branch so 0.5.2 will contain the fix.

Basically it's just making new images to replace the ones in the TA GAF files (you can extract them using "ta3d --extract-gaf")

[xpoy]

well, replace GAFs to HD.
may i can brower HD moder, but not GAFs,may need you conver
Format

no problem, we'll implement support for unpacked GAFs (a simple set of TGA images), that way you won't need to pack images into GAFs (this will be done later when making the final resource archive).
