IceX 2.0 Release Version

(Deutsch weiter unten)

IceX2 is out now. Check the IceX2 website at www.stonehill-online.de.

Here are the informations copied from the website:
1.) Features
- Edit in Realtime. What you see is what you get
- Tile based terrain system with seemless LOD
- Precalculculated shadows with colored gouraud shading and cast-shadows
- WMP-Levelexport for all 3DGS editions
- Perlin Noise terrain generator and heightmap import/export
- Multiple entity editing
- A6 physicsengine for all entities
- There's a watershader with realtime reflections (only with shaderversion 2.0 and above)
- Deform and Painting the terrain
- Multitexturing on terrains which works even with GeForce2
- Create road with a few clicks with the roadgenerator
- Customize the environment. Fog, view distance, skycube etc...

2.) Compatibility and Requirements:
- IceX 2.0 needs a graphics card not older than a GeForce2 (for fixed functions pipeline effects)
- For exporting levels you need at least 3DGS A6.31
- Standard and Extra edition don't have materialeffects (no multitexturing). With this edition the terrains will have less quality after exporting.
- A pixelshader 2.0 card is required for using the watershader. If you want to export water you must own 3DGS professional edition
- There's also the 3DGS professional edition required if you want to use the physicsengine after levelexport

IceX 2.0 Editor is avaiable at www.stonehill-online.de and costs 12,95 EUR (~15,50 USD)

PS: The manual it not yet avaiable. It's avaiable the next 4-5 days.
----------------

IceX2 ist endlich fertig. Alle Einzelheiten auf www.stonehill-online.de

Hier die Informationen von der Website kopiert:
1.) Features:
- In Echtzeit editieren. What you see is what you get
- Teilst�ck-basiertes Terrain mit nahtlosem LOD-System
- Vorberechnete Schatten mit farbigem Gouroud Shading und Schlagschatten.
- WMP-Levelexport f�r alle 3DGS-Editionen
- Perlin Noise Terrain Generator und Heightmap Import/Export
- Multiples Editieren von Entities
- Es kann die A6-Physikengine auf alle Entities angewendet werden
- Es liegt ein Wassershader mit Echtzeitspiegelung bei (erst ab Shaderversion 2.0)
- Mit den Terrainpinseln kann das Terrain verformt und bemalt werden
- Multitexturing auf dem Terrain das aber einer GeForce2 Karte funktioniert
- Mit dem Roadgenerator k�nnen automatisch Wege angelegt werden
- Umwelteffekte wie Nebel, Sichtweite, Skycube, etc... einstellbar

2.) Kompatibilit�t und Anforderungen:
- IceX 2.0 ben�tigt eine Grafikkarte die nicht �lter wie eine GeForce2 ist (wegen Fixed Functions Pipeline Effekten)
- Um exportierte Levels nutzen zu k�nnen wird mindestens eine 3DGS A6.31 Version vorrausgesetzt
- Die Standard und Extra Editionen unterst�tzen kein Multitexturing. Deshalb haben die Terrains nach dem exportieren in diesen Editionen eine schlechtere Qualit�t
- Um den mitgelieferten Wassershader nutzen zu k�nnen braucht es eine Grafikkarte mit Pixelshader 2.0. Und f�r den Levelexport die 3DGS Professional Edition
- Nach dem Levelexport funktioniert die Physikengine ebenfalls nur mit 3DGS Professional Edition

IceX 2.0 Editor ist verf�gbar auf www.stonehill-online.de und kostet 12,95 EUR

PS: Das Handbuch ist noch nicht verf�gbar. Es kommt erst die n�chsten 4-5 Tage.

It's strange, because a similar effect works here with me, transparent water on a multitextured terrain, no z-sorting issues .... Oww, and trust me guys, the formats DO matter, Cheers PHeMoX, Innervision Software (c) 1995-2008 For more info visit: Innervision Software

Frits User Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 724 the Netherlands	I have tried something else. I thought maybe I can import the water model in IceX. No, it gave an error wrong mdl format and the complete program (that is IceX) disappears from the screen (strange behaviour for such an error). Then I imported a player to IceX, export it as WMP file and opened it in WED. When I tried to apply an action to the player, the player has already an action attached to it (same action that is attached to all the items you import and paste to the level in IceX). When I work The other way around (making a level in IceX, export it as a WMP file and opened it in WED) I can add items like a prefab, but when I run the level that item is not visible at all but it is there because the player can bump into it. Now some thoughts comes to my mind; a. is IceX usable in combination with entities of WED b. are there still some things to be done for the maker of IceX c. am I doing it completely wrong Don't misunderstand me, for designing an outdoor level it works like a charm. But for the rest, I think I give up. Some advice please, Regards, Frits I like to keep scripting simple, life is hard enough as it is. Regards, Frits
