Battlegrounds 3 PSP, or BG3, is a hovertank deathmatch game for the Sony PSP. Use a deadly array of weapons to defeat the enemy and return glory to your homeland.
It was featured in the GBAX 2007 Coding Competition and PSP-Hacks' Homebrew Idol 2 (3rd place).
User guide
There are a range of weapons in BG3 with varying levels of effectiveness. In order to defeat an enemy you must deplete his shields and armor.
- The machine gun is a good all-around weapon.
- The laser is effective against shields.
- Tank shells are effective against armor.
- Missiles are great all-around.
Content Creation
All map files go in a folder named with a 2-digit number. This is so the game can index all the maps easily.
- terrain.raw - 16-bit binary mapping of scaleable height values from lower left of map (beginning of file) to upper right of map (end of file).
- terrain.tga - Detail texture for heightmap, as it would look from a top-down perspective. For best performance, use palletized textures.
- map.ini - Configuration file used to set various values for the maps. Some of these need to be standardized.
Checking the default maps should give a fairly straightforward view of what these should look like. When defining points on the map, use tile coordinates, e.g. for the bottom left tile on the map, it would be "0 0" and for the top right tile of a 256x256 map it would be "255 255".
You can use any heightmap tools that support the .raw and .tga files as described.
