All art (most) was vector, straight from Illustrator, and we load it as such before adding noise, and sometime a glow to it to display in Flash. The game was 2mb per level instead of 50mb and looked a LOT better!Grrrrrrrrrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757783596363670264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-26369701959745412132011-12-02T17:58:37.160-08:002011-12-02T17:58:37.160-08:00Skyrim now has a mod for adding noise: http://www....Skyrim now has a mod for adding noise: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1598Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-10897798973312110952009-10-16T10:47:16.496-07:002009-10-16T10:47:16.496-07:00you could also add some kind of simple edge detect...you could also add some kind of simple edge detection using convolution filter to serve as mask to not add noise on edges, but it looks good any way.makchttp://makc3d.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-90651217033073156752009-07-04T10:32:14.564-07:002009-07-04T10:32:14.564-07:00Hi Jotaf!

I may try rendering to bitmap sprites; the main disadvantage is that the edges of the sprite can become jagged with rotation.<br /><br />For the background, my hope was to use several noise tiles scattered in a way that wouldn't make it obvious it's a pattern. But I haven't tried that yet.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-18909269611905273712009-07-04T09:16:54.990-07:002009-07-04T09:16:54.990-07:00How about trying to render the procedural sprites ...How about trying to render the procedural sprites (which are vector-based) to bitmaps, applying the noise and then use just those bitmaps? (Or maybe that was already implied in youy post!)<br /><br />For the background, drawing the noise at once seems to ask for too much memory, if you want decent sized maps... Is there a function to ask for the noise value at a specific location, without computing the whole noise image? If not, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to calculate it "by hand" in the shader. Otherwise, I don't see how you could get a continuous noisy background the size of many screens :) Just bouncing around some ideas.Jotafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804130701206652599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-24028122027078533262009-06-29T14:40:05.236-07:002009-06-29T14:40:05.236-07:00Hi Anonymous!

I placed it around “my” coal station to keep competitors away ;-)<br /><br />Open Transport Tycoon has some new computer AI. I haven't tried it yet but I'd guess that they build much better tracks than the original game. :-)Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-70971490827962584642009-06-29T05:23:08.348-07:002009-06-29T05:23:08.348-07:00Concrete in Transport tycoon?

Looks like somebodies stopping access to that coal mine from their competitor - I see an anti-trust law suit in the mits! ;-p<br /><br />...I used to love ramming their lorries off of the road with trains; Oah the satisfaction. Although in the original game the competitors used to wind me up as they're ruin the whole landscape digging up miles and miles of land and trees to place a few tracks - If I did that the town'd stop me from building so I say use every tick in the book against em!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
