= Frequently Asked Questions on SM3 =<br />
<br />
<br />
== What is DevIL ==<br />
DevIL is the Image Loading library that spring uses.<br />
http://openil.sf.net/<br />
<br />
DevIL supports loading of bmp, dds, gif, jpg, png, pcx, psd, psp, tga, raw, pal, tif, pal, sgi, hdr among others.<br />
<br />
<br />
== "Map Size (x) should be equal to GameAreaW and GameAreaH"? ==<br />
For the map to load you need to add these two variables to your .sm3:<br />
<br><br />
GameAreaW=xxx;<br><br />
GameAreaH=xxx;<br><br />
The map size(note, not the heightmap size which is map 1 pixel) width/height goes here.<br />
<br />
== How do I use external textures? ==<br />
Create a modinfo.tdf textfile in your mapname.sdd. It should contain:<br />
<br />
[MOD]<br><br />
{<br><br />
Name=mapname;<br><br />
Description=your description here;<br><br />
ModType=0;<br><br />
<br><br />
NumDependencies=1;<br><br />
Depend0=texturefilename.sd7;<br><br />
}<br><br />
<br />
This will tell Spring to look in the directory where your map is located(eg. \maps\) for the textures you have specified in the SM3. Example:<br />
<br />
[Rock]<br><br />
{<br><br />
TileSize=60;<br><br />
File=textures/rock/rock.jpg;<br><br />
Bumpmap=textures/rock/rock_normal.jpg;<br><br />
}<br><br />
<br />
Which would tell Spring that your texture is at texturefilename.sd7/textures/rock/rock.jpg.</div>intermisc/gamedev>Flozi
