"I think the idea of using terrain data directly is very good! Especially those ancient buildings and scenic spots, such as Huashan, Jiuzhaigou, Zhangjiajie or something, are directly copied 1 to 1 into the game, these real scenery is definitely not as bad as the scenery designed by the original artist, and it is definitely better in terms of atmosphere and realism. ”

Zhao Xilin also agreed with his cousin's opinion, but he understood why the relevant departments were so nervous.

"In fact, the concerns of the National Security Bureau and the Map-Map Bureau are justified, and accurate terrain and landform information can be used not only in the game, but also in the military. For example, aircraft missiles and other things, in order to be surprised, they like to fly close to the ground and the sea, so that because of the earth's curvature and the occlusion effect of the terrain such as mountain peaks and buildings, the probability of being discovered by radar and even lookout and early warning personnel can be greatly reduced. Although it is theoretically possible to fly close to the sea surface by relying on the pilot's manual visual operation, the requirements for the pilot's nerve response and proficiency are too high, and the error tolerance rate is too low, and it will fail if you are not careful, so the attack aircraft helicopter that performs the ground attack mission will install terrain tracking and terrain avoidance radar to scan the terrain and landform, and automatically avoid the peak of the building in time. ”

"However, if you get accurate topographic data in advance and store it in the control chip of the Apache and Tomahawk cruise missiles, in this way," Zhao Xilin stretched out his left hand, placed it one centimeter above the seat deputy, and then moved his left hand to the computer desk, followed by the monitor, and maintained a relative height of one centimeter, "There is no need for terrain radar to scan in real time, and it can be directly and accurately maintained at an altitude of a few meters above the ground and fly close to the ground." ”

"For example, Tomahawk cruise missiles are generally inertial-terrain matching guidance, and the inertial speed cruise is known to be fixed altitude and constant speed in the middle of the flight, which is the most fuel-efficient, and then the terrain matching guidance is used in the final stage. The missile radar scans the terrain and matches it with the terrain and geomorphological data stored in advance, and if it finds a target, it will be forced to pounce! If the terrain and geomorphological data are wrong, it may hit a mountain or be crooked. As for the other ballistic missile, it is directly a three-segment parabola, basically one shot here, and the landing point can be calculated by a ballistic computer there. However, ballistic missiles generally have to fly from outer space for a while, and after re-entering the atmosphere, the speed is several times more than ten times the speed of sound, and it is very difficult to intercept them. Generally, ballistic missile interception is before it lifts off into outer space, when it is the acceleration phase, and the speed is not too fast. This is why the United States wants to pull Japan together to engage in ***, early detection and early interception is more reassuring, that is to say, Japan's *** is actually for the United States to watch, can only intercept those ballistic missiles that are still in the rising stage of the atmosphere and are ready to fly to the US mainland, if there is really aimed at Japan, it will not be able to prevent it. ”

"Lao Mei's place is really blessed, two oceanic countries, whoever wants to fight him has to go on an expedition. ”

"Well, it's far away, anyway, in the end, the bee company didn't collect the topographic data itself, but bought the data from the Mapping Bureau. As for this precision and accuracy, only God knows. ”

"But the laziness of the bee company is estimated to be ranked best in the world," Zhao Xilin said, pointing to the 3D tree model on his computer screen: "Like these trees, in fact, they are not made by bee artists, but by players all over the world." "Da Ming" because the art is too poor by the players all kinds of sarcasm complaints,I saw the news on the first day of this game in the 173 open area.,But after looking at the screenshots,I fainted! The ground is called a flat.,There are no potholes and ravines at all.,The characters are also very ugly.,I'm not interested in closing the web page.。 It wasn't until the internet café opened last month that I found this high-end version out of the window, and I was motivated to start playing the game. However, I later learned that the terrain data of the high-end version was collected by bees from other places, and trees, flowers, animals, characters, buildings, etc. were also made by other players, and they were more just the role of organizers, providing tools, accepting results, and paying for them. If you have nothing to do in the summer, you can try to do the touch der of "Daming", and the tuition fee is not enough for a few months, and the living expenses are definitely no problem. ”

"Okay, it turns out that you dragged me to the Internet café for this purpose, brother, are you sure you're not an Amway salesman?"

"I'm Lu Dongbin, not an Amway salesman. Zhao Xilin clicked on his asset management panel and said: "If you spend a few hours here every day doing touching, it will definitely not work, the network fee is too expensive." I do it on my own computer, and then submit it directly, or take it to the Internet café to load it on the high-end version of the game client, and finally debug it before submitting. ”

Seeing that there were nearly more than 20,000 gold coins on his cousin's account, which already reflected the record of 1,000 and 5 soft sister coins, Qin Mo pouted, "It's not much to earn 1,500 yuan a month, cousin, how much electricity and Internet fees have you paid in." ”

Look at this," Zhao Xilin clicked "Settings" and "Earth Editor", the game client automatically exited, and Qin Mo saw a software interface called "Earth Editor" appear on the screen.

"It's the game's modding tool, and it's very, very powerful, and even if you don't use it to make a mod, it's very useful to use it for other things. ”

"Oh?" Qin Mo was finally aroused, and he also learned to switch to the "Earth Editor".

The interface of the Earth Editor looks a bit like Photoshop, full of various tool buttons and icons, but fortunately, the full Chinese interface is not too dizzying.

"For example, 'Create Sounds', this feature can record sound effects, background music, and dubbing for games, and the output is based on the Fan Di Digital Instrument Score standard. However, the timbre library used here is not the mainstream ones in the world, and it seems to be original by Bee. ”

"Fan Di can still record dubbing?Fan Di music is not super monotonous, can only be placed in an electronic greeting card to play the simple tune of 'Ding Ding Bell Jingle Bell'?"

"That's the chip used in the e-card is a bargain, and it has nothing to do with the fan Di itself. A fan file is essentially a very small text file that is a score that a computer can recognize. Whether it is an instrument sound or a human voice, it will be formatted into timbre code, pitch, pitch, duration, vibrato and other information to be saved, and then the sound will be restored with the help of the timbre library during playback. The best playing platform for fans is professional electronic musical instruments, the computer sound card is a cut off, the 128 chord mobile phone chip is a little bit worse, and a few dollars of electronic greeting cards can hear the tune of 'jingle bells' is interesting enough. ”

"This version of the bee is specially optimized for the human voice, and it can be used more naturally to save and restore the human voice, especially the dialogue is very well restored. In this way, they will be able to realize their ambitious plan to arrange 'full voice' for tens of thousands of millions of NPCs. In fact, these are not live-action voices, but digitally synthesized. ”

Saying that, Zhao Xilin also shook his head with some regret, "This earth editor was opened at the beginning of the year, but at that time, I didn't know that there was this artifact because the game was ugly, and I didn't know that there was this artifact, so I missed the first wave of business opportunities to make money with this software." ”

"What kind of business opportunity? I want to think about it, is it dubbing?"

"It's almost, but it's not dubbing, the dubbing requirements for film and television dramas are still relatively high, and it's audio novels. Someone uses the editor's dubbing feature to record audio novels, popular online texts, classic martial arts, romance novels, and even Juan novels, and sell them to those sites. The biggest advantage of the editor is that it has an endless inventory of 'voice actors', and you only need to modify the timbre and tone to create a new 'person', so although the voice novels and audio novels recorded with the editor are a bit stiff, they are better than the many characters, which are closer to radio dramas, and they were quite popular at the time. However, after the bee company found out the commercial value of this function, it launched its own audio station, and then released tasks to CTA members, and asked members to help them produce audio novels at a low price, which smashed the market at once. ”

"I can't record audio novels, but I can use it to record RBTs. ”

"This piece is not blocked, but the CRBT business has to deal with mobile connectivity, and it is not easy to make money. Zhao Xilin shook the mouse and pointed to a few function buttons with the mouse pointer to explain the process of using it to Qin Mo, "In this way, you can record the sound and save it in mp3 format, whether it is sold to CRBT websites or used to make mobile phone ringtones." ”

"Brother, the CRBT I'm talking about is not the funny CRBT of 'the phone fell into the hot pot', but the kind of singing of 'Good luck today, old wolf, please eat chicken'. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Xilin said: "Yes, okay? The dubbing only needs to be auditioned once, and then the polyphonic words and light accents in it can be corrected, and then the speed of speech can be fine-tuned." But if you want to do vocal singing, you should add scales or something, it's much more complicated. I don't seem to see anyone who has ever sung, and there are very few who do soundtracks, and the soundtracks need to be hand-written or imported into other fan music suitable pieces. ”

"Go back and slowly study this, and then this, 'create creatures', 'design expressions', you can design expressions for NPCs or animal characters, he uses expression tracking technology here, directly shoot your face with the camera, and then identify the position of the tip of your chin at the corners of your eyes and mouth, and then manually correct it yourself, and then make expressions casually, NPC's facial expressions will also change, which can be output as a video file, and then the bee moving picture is converted into a GIF dynamic picture, which can be used to make a buckle emoji. It can also be used as a honey chat emoji, and if it sells well, it can make a little money. ”

"It looks very interesting, how big is this editor, do you have to copy it back together with the game client to use it?" Qin Mo said as he right-clicked to check the attributes, and the number that appeared startled him: "Ha!18G!Doesn't it mean that the high-end version of the client is 14G? Why is there 4G more?"

"Uh, I'll take a look," Zhao Xilin also glanced at the size of the editor on his computer, and noticed that the folder name on the folder properties panel was "Daming stand-alone version FHD", and then opened the browser and searched for it, and then said: "So that's the case, the editor is attached to the ordinary version or the high-end version of the stand-alone client, and the touch d made can be tested on the stand-alone client for the first time." However, the online game client prohibits third-party modifications, and if you want to use a self-made mod, you must also upload the mod to the server through the earth editor, and after the official review and approval, you can download it through the mod d center. The stand-alone version of the installation package is 12GB, and the files will be decompressed during installation, and at least 20GB of disk storage space is required. It is also specifically noted that the stand-alone version will be compared with the verification file when switching to the online game version, and it is strongly recommended that if players need to use the editor to create or modify the content of the mod, it is best to reinstall a pure and unmodified version of the client as the online game client. ”

"12GB can't be loaded into a USB flash drive, brother, do you have a mobile hard disk there?"

"Mobile hard drive?" Zhao Xilin pondered and said, "Speaking of mobile hard drives, it seems that I really have them here." I spent a month at this Internet café and drew hundreds of lottery draws on the Internet, and finally won a grand prize. I remember in the prize library,Last month's grand prize was a 60GB mobile hard disk,This month's is an MP4 that can only watch TV,I was going to wait to see what next month's prize is and then redeem it,Since it's going to use a mobile hard disk now,,I simply claimed this prize。 ”

On the page, select "Bee Mobile Hard Drive 60GB", click "Apply for Exchange", and within a few minutes, a male network administrator in a jujube red suit walked up to Zhao Xilin and handed him a mobile hard drive in a cardboard box and a warranty card.

"Brother, you said that these 12 GB, oh no, how big is the 18 GB in it, how many NPCs are in it?"

"Anyway, it's definitely not the whole earth that has been redone, and the number of NPCs is not 130 million, and there are less than 10,000 voiced. ”

In order to be able to use the limited capacity of the client, I put 5 on. A huge map of 100 million square kilometers (although this map is rough and unpleasant) and more than 500 million NPCs living on it (estimated global population in 16005. 4.5 billion), as well as a larger number of animals and plants, Atletico racked their brains, combined with the strengths of each software, to create a unique data compression method for the "Daming" series, and specially built a game engine and content editor for this purpose, so there is the "Earth Editor" software.

First of all, Atletico Madrid uses the Mi-DI text score plus a public sound library to save the sound files, and the original capacity may be hundreds of GB, or even large to the terabyte of the background music and dubbing content is replaced by a timbre library with less than 2GB capacity, and no matter how many NPC dubbing and music sound effects are added in the future, it will only increase the Mi DI files that take up very little space, and the sound system will not expand dramatically.

Due to capacity limitations and low CPU performance, the regular version carries a sound library that is several notches lower than that of the high-spec version, which is why no one has used the Earth Editor to create and sing songs in the past few months.

Secondly, the vast majority of hundreds of millions of people and a larger number of flora and fauna, as well as hundreds of millions of square kilometers of maps, are just a whole digital participation game, and will not be created into the actual content of the game.

If you go to Southeast Asia and Japan in the world of Da Ming, you will see that there is a blank slate, only a few rudimentary islands.

From time to time, a Spanish galleon from Manila, Philippines, will sail through Macau, Fuzhou, and Japan along the southwest monsoon, carrying silk, porcelain, lacquerware, cotton, tea, pearls, spices, and other goods along the North Pacific Current to North America, and then disappear from the player's screen.

When it reappeared, the galleon would return to East Asia laden with Mexican silver coins and copper ingots. This was the famous galleon trade in the 17th century, in addition to the trade routes that circumnavigated the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, India, and the trade routes between the Caribbean and Europe. Because these routes are farther away from the player's field of vision, they are "invisible" throughout the whole process, directly computing large numbers and big data such as total production, total trade, total population, etc., and there will be no single boat or a single commodity and one person.

It is equivalent to saying that the world of "Daming" is composed of "the world visible to the player" and "the world invisible to the player", the part that the player sees, the game company will carefully produce, it looks like a normal online game, and the part that the player can't see is blatantly cutting corners, directly using the big number of 10,000 people and 100 million people to be lazy.

Only when the player's quest is about to go will those places be loaded into the game in the form of patches (online version) or DLC (standalone version). The reason why the player's movement speed is limited to a maximum of 11 meters per second is to limit the distance the player can walk, so that the development team will not be overwhelmed.

The former is basically a role-playing game, while the latter is closer to a nautical adventure and business simulation game like Age of Discovery. In this classic nautical game, except for the main character, a few elite sailors, and a few city NPCs, the rest of the sailors and the rest of the world's population are just various numbers that add and subtract.

However, "Daming OL" is not the online version of "Age of Discovery", and it is not the same game as "Age of Exploration OL", which is now uncertain due to the difficulties of the agency and the turmoil in personnel. Although the latter also has the content of land adventure after 3D, the theme of the game is "sailing" after all, and the main content is still carried out on the ship, while the main game content of "Daming" is in a large or small, long or short copy of the map.

Of course, in this larger, more realistic game world, players can also sail by boat, but it takes half a year to make a trip to Mexico, and it is not easy to go to South Africa, and this time is real, real-world time. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
