Increasing terrain blocksize

by Westy · in Torque Game Engine · 02/08/2004 (12:23 pm) · 4 replies

Has anybody ever increased the size of the terrain on torque so its larger than 256.

Currently its just too small and not detailed enough. We need it about double the size (512?) and more detailed,not 8, more like 1 or 2 without such a small overall size.

Ive tried allsorts chnagin 256 to 512, implementing Terrain Manager from gorpe, I can get nothing working. :(

If no-one has ever done this, is it possible for GG to release a doc explainnig how terrain works, cos terrData.cc is a maze for me.. too many properties and algorithms that i have no idea are doing.

ANY help would be appreciated.

This topic has been beat around a lot, try doing a search for Large Terrain or blocksize and see what you come up with. There should be at least 2 threads started by myself :P

What we need is a doc exlplaning terrain, or at least what the values in terrData.cc are for.
