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 is featured at the PSP-Hacks Homebrew Idol 2 competition in 2009 (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.
- Machine gun - A good all-around weapon.
- Laser - Effective against shields.
- Tank shells - Effective against armor.
- Missiles - 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, eg, 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.
