I'm happy to show the first ever community made textures :)

This is sorta of crater texture, really does look like one looked from the map.

Icy rock texture. Use carefully.

a Shiny grass texture. Might look good near rivers or in gardens.

This is mud texture.

Hm...ok. And how should we apply them? Every block is a voxel, so it will always only have one color. If Ben considers making blocks out of more voxels this would make sense. But atm...

I guess MAYBE it could be used in the map editor as a procedural texturemap? Am I right? Do I get a cookie?

No BoL. You don't get a full cookie, only HALF cookie.

I guess that those showed the thing well enough.

Ah ok. So not texturing single blocks but using the texture as a sort of colormap. Interesting.

Hehe. Half a cookie works seeing how I only half-understand the voxed program. Was having some fun with it anyways. The crater looks half-decent.

So if I am correct in my interpretation of this we could play on a map based off of a, for example, photo of someone's face? Or better yet... pr0n? Oh, the possibilites!

Well... here's a start. If you're offended by nazi stuff... my humble apologies. I've been sick lately and am drinking way to much Robitussin DM. The intention is to be a humorous observation re the kind of people who like to draw swastikas on the game maps. It's just a projection onto an existing lastmap. Sadly, I don't seem to be able to load it back into a server... might need to restart but it was acting weird.

Wtf? You can "paint" an image on the map? Nice. I really need to further check out the map-editor.

Hahaha, did you make that? It's very nice!

I loaded lastmap.vxl (not sure which server it was from) into voxed with ALT+F2 and then hit P which paints your selected .PNG file onto the map from the angle your view is at. I think. It sort of freezes up for a second but be patient and viola! Other than that I am still trying to figure out this decade-old editor program.

Now I have the issue of not being able to load my "custom map" onto the server. I type in the filename (minus the .vxl extension, as instructed) and nothing happens. Everything works fine if I type gen and generate a fresh terrain map and log on via local server connect (aos://16777343)... I've tried the greencitybuild.vxl map from another thread but... no joy there either.

Has anyone successfully loaded a custom map? I was on a server where the admin announced he was restarting the server with a custom map but I never saw it reappear on the server listing so I am assuming he had problems too.

Hm...try to rename it to a name <= 8 chars. Maybe Voxel still uses them (it's a silly idea but try it).

No. I'm having no luck loading any custom maps. Ben said he'd look into it when he got a chance which is good enough for me. Not like it was my life's goal anyways. C'est la vie!

Just read this. I think this is what I was missing. http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=696#post-6864
