That reminds me, I'd better download your plugin...TFL Maps that are NOT in the Magma TFL Pack

Way back in the dark ages, Demontheses (sp?) created a Myth II plugin that replaced M2 dorfs with TFL pathfinders - the plug used to be in the udogs HL server (might still be?). Read about it here:

The project's still underway, but I've slowed down on it a lot. One of the primary features in 1.7 will be mesh detail layers, which I've been spending much of my spare time on recently.
...
Hey iron, would you have to go back and change anything in the original cmaps, or plugs for the detail texturing to work or are they done completely by the engine itself?
From the info page I'm assuming there are several mesh detail layers and they will be sorted by terrain or something? Or does it use one detail layer for all terrains?

Detail layers come from 'dmap' tags, each corresponding to an existing color map. Each 'dmap' tag references many 'dtex' tags.
We will be adding a new type of plugin, called an "add-on", that will be restricted to only certain tag types that won't affect gameplay, and these will be completely optional.
One player may have such an "add-on" in his plugin folder, that will add the textures, while another may not, and they will be able to play in the same games.
We will release a texture pack for all the original Bungie maps, and possibly some third party maps, and other players may make their own such texture packs too...

Sounds a bit voodooish, but if it works that sounds like a nice elegant solution.Myrd wrote:One player may have such an "add-on" in his plugin folder, that will add the textures, while another may not, and they will be able to play in the same games.

Can't wait to see these ingame!
