C4 Engine Custom Made Physics Based Maps

[AquaGeneral]

I am going to create a series of physics based maps in C4.

What do you guys want me to make.

C4 Allows me to create:
1) Dominoes
2) Marble Tracks
3) Large Towers (stable)
4) Brick Walls
and much more

I might even be able to ask the team at C4 Engine to do me a favor and ask them to create a demo with all of the the Physics Maps with all the other tools needed so everyone can play them.

If I create a manual standalone version it is not going to work with everyone.

And suggestions of what I should create?

Thanks In Advance :)

Make one VERY large tower :D

[AquaGeneral]

When you say tower that could mean anything.

Can you make a simple diagram of it or just a picture of what you have in mind.

Because with towers I can make them have anything like 10 boxes, 100 boxes, 10 rectangles, 100 rectangles, make the tower have poles, how much width to the tower etc, etc.

Sorry I forgot to mention to be specific. :o

Is it possible to create shatter/break physics and soft body objects in C4.
I've never heard of that engine is there a link to a homepage I can go to?

[Muntu]

Well, like the tower in the game where you pull the blocks out of the tower without making it fall... Damn, I dunno how to explain :D
Kinda like this, but much taller: http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/7849/towercq3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

So... Can you make them to standalone EXE's, I mean that we don't have to have C4 editor?

Oh yeah, I was thinkin the same as X-iDuex. Can you make the blocks to shatter, like in Sumotori, or is it impossible in C4?

Tower like thishttp://img49.imageshack.us/img49/3257/tower2iw6.png (http://imageshack.us) would be cool too

Oooh, that looks cool. I always loved that game where you tried to remove pieces from the tower without making it fall.:D

Jenga. That's the game's name.

Also, I was thinking...brick wall? But a giant one, with ...constraint maybe? So it doesn't shatter from a pellet. D:

[AquaGeneral]

I am unable to make soft bodies and breakable ojects in C4 at the moment because they are both usupported but a demo license.

But Dj Demetrius I am able to create those types of towers.

If you have something like a Core 2 Duo your PC should be able to handle 20,000 active objects.

Thanks for the request :)

[Muntu]

So can you make standalone exe's? Hmmm... I don't have c2d, but let's see how many objects my athlon 2800+ can handle :D
BTW... 20,000? wow, that's alot O_O

[AquaGeneral]

Not as a stand alone version like just a single exe.

It will have the editing program to make your own maps from what I created or create your own blank versions.

The official website is here: www.terrathon.com and click on the C4 Engine logo.

Sorry for the double post.

Anymore suggestions? I can easily make even a destructible house :)

:D :D Destructible horse! When you said that i came to think of the Trojan horse! Wanna make a Jenga game for me?

[AquaGeneral]

It would not be easy.

A house can stand on the floor but the horse is not entirely on the ground so I will have to create millions of joints.

Anymore? :confused:

[Muntu]

Make an appartment house... You know, tall house with many floors ;D

[AquaGeneral]

Okay I can do that.

I am currently working a map that has 2000 boxes colliding when going down a large ramp. To make it more interesting there is a wall of boxes blocking the bottom of the ramp so there is going to be some destruction.

C4 also allows you to play Online Multiplayer but there aren't any ragdolls implemented yet and obects are frozen in multiplayer.

When I turn off shadows I can double the Frame-Rate so that is what I am going to leave it at.

Sounds nice. Are we getting our hands on this any day soon?

[AquaGeneral]

You sure are. I will be releasing map packs (free of course).

Here is a quick video showing a some-what early version of the map.

All I need to do know is some polishing and creating a video that will teach you how to edit and create you own map. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PE84QEZA

The description I written with the video; "A map for the C4 Engine. This is only a video showing what happens. This is a test so please set expectasions accordingly. Please remember this map was intended more of watching then playing. All other maps will be more interactivable."

Hopfully I can get it out earlier than July.

[Muntu]

Hmm... Page "www.terrathon.com" doesn't exist. Google finds only F-M forums if I'll search with words "terrathon" and "c4"

[Muntu]

.... Have you been drinking AquaGeneral? :D
If you don't understand, just look at the three last posts in this thread. Two your posts and that one which is mine. ;D

[AquaGeneral]

Sorry for the confusion.

I thought that the second post of mine up did not make it through, so I posted another post about the same thing.

I will delete one to stop the confusion and sorry for not making sense.

Edit: Here is the C4 Home Page link: http://www.terathon.com/c4engine/

[Muntu]

Yeah, maybe I should have said "okay" or something like that :)
Thanks for the website
