Hpl3 is in the vision.

Seems like S.O.M.A Is nearly released.
That means hpl3 !!
The question is, can we Use hpl3 to make maps for amnesia?! |I mean hpl3 includes a freaking In-engine terrain creator!! who the hell doesn't need that?! I tried to make my custom stories on a mountain etc, it didn't work well. if hpl3 can be used for amnesia... I am sooo happy... sooo happy....
Btw, if someone does not know yet btw, for some of you who didn't find the hpl3 informations..

No, you can't.

HPL3 = A different engine.

Amnesia runs on HPL2.

So no, that wouldn't work.

There will be lots of similarities, and you might even be able to open an empty map from HPL3 in HPL2, but using any of the unique features of HPL3 would surely only crash HPL2.

Oh... but Wouldn't it be cool if we could create some outdoor mountains, I mean, I never never never saw a custom story/mod of amnesia, having this, like you know Until Dawn? I mean that kind of "mountains" not like a mountain as backgrounds, I mean good looking mountains with cabin etc etc Tongue

Only if the terrain generator would work for amnesia Sad

and is the hpl3 engine (pack?) released after the soma game itself?! so 22th september...?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the sentence "use HPL3 to make maps in Amnesia", just mean: "Can we use the assets from Amnesia with HPL3?"

No, I meant using hpl3 engien to create maps for amnesia, with that, I don't mean transfer that high graphical models to amnesia, but just a terrain.
I just know that it won't b possible to get assets from that game, with the same quality/graphics to amnesia... I really want to get a terrain generator Sad

Won't work.

You seem to master short sentences Smile

Can you tell me in short why converting won't work?

Would it need more work than opening it in a program and exporting as something else?

What is the main reason it won't work?

**Traggey** · 09-16-2015, 08:07 PM

The systems for terrain isn't in HPL2. You can make it in HPL3 and put it into HPL2, but the engine wouldn't know what to do with it.

Most likely it will just crash, at best, it won't load anything.
