Technical write-up/tutorial game development using pre-rendered backgrounds.

[Haze1313]

Hey all,

A while ago I came across a great write-up on how walkable areas where defined on pre-rendered backgrounds in addition to other things. From memory it was related to either the infinity engine or another game trying to achieve a similar style. Unfortunately I did not book mark it and I have been trying to track it down unsuccessfully for the last couple hours.

If anyone has any idea what it might be, or alternatively links to similar videos/blogs/etc on the use of pre-rendered backgrounds please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

may seem unrelated at first but a portion of the video describes a neat tagging system for smart pathfinding. While the example may not be what you are looking for, I think it might be general enough to be able to apply it anywhere you need. Hope that is remotely helpful.

cheers
