Tank Roller (Game Engine) DEMO

A 3D engine for games like Battlefield 1942 / Battlefield 2 (other types of games may be supported via editing the game DLL (C++ code)).

Completely unfinished.

The making of games for this engine should look like making mods for Battlefield (this is the concept). In the sense that you edit the data files (if you've ever modded for Battlefield or C&C Generals you know what I mean -- the files are text files that describe objects and do not contain any code). But if you want to code then there's the game DLL (which allows for much more flexibility, practically allows you to move away from the concept of a Battlefield like game proposed in the above).

Currently only a proto.

I started it for my own Battlefield like game a time ago. The game isn't there, but here's a demo of the engine itself.. (pretty basic yet)

Changes in June 26 2024:

• The collisions are now true meshes that fit the objects well (they were simple PhysX primitives in the previous version).
• Introducing the object template system (the Data/ folder). You can really change the objects right now. Not many features supported, but it's the backbone for the future improvements. The object placement system is in the Assets/Levels/Features.ini file.

Notes:

• The tanks in this demo are static objects only yet. Next I'll be working on the vehicles, so may be in the next release something will be done..
• The player controller is very draft and clunky.. The generic PhysX controller is used with a little of wrapper code

Technical:

• The engine is currently able to work on DirectX11 and DirectX12 (by a choice). Also an OpenGL stub is planned.
• Currently incorporates PhysX 5.3.1 as the physics engine
• The demo map is about 1x1 km, more than 100.000 objects (trees and bushes)
