This short php script uses the GD library to embed the average of the rgb channels of one image into another's alpha channel. Very useful for embedding specular maps into diffuse (TGEA) or normal (Torque 3D) maps.

By default, mounted objects such as weapons are scaled to the mounting object's scale. This resource makes it possible to add further scaling that is set by the datablock of shape image. That means that you can set the size of the mounted weapon without having to re-export.

This one-liner will scale the animation of your player to the scale of the player. IE: large monsters move slowly, small ones move fast.

This is my second Torque3D terrains related resource, which lets you define layers that can't be walked upon (or jumped over) by your player. This is an easy way to create movement constraints in your game.

Every developer has his own way of indenting and reading source code. Regretfully, new lines and indents in the TGEA 1.7.1 source are nothing like what I'm used to. Here's what I did to make the source more readable to me.

Property maps are used by the engine to be able to tell what color a foot puff or vehicle puff should be on a given material of the terrain, or what it should sound like when you step on it. This resource adds automatic property map generation with default values for each terrain texture, so you have vehicle and player foot puffs even if there are no propertyMap.cs files around.

TGEA has been without footpuffs and vehicle dust. This resource switches them back on. Before you start, please check out my [url=www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/15199]Automatic blended terrain texture property map generation[/url] resource, because you will need property maps set up to see the puffs.
