How ot useing more than one terrain in a level
by Joy Box · in Torque Game Engine · 11/30/2005 (4:19 pm) · 6 replies
I want to make a race game soi want to make the terrain large.
but there are many problem when enlarging the terrain(like the texture deforming) soi want to put multy terrain with a normal size(i.e good texture).
i want to ask if there is any way to put more than one terrain by the editor int the same level..
Note:i use the terrain with no tile proberties.
and if it's possible.how cancan i use the tranformation and rotation info from the terrain (which are not used) to change the terrain placein the world.

There was a project or two in progress out there that were working on adding multi-terrain paging for TGE, though I don't know if the project is still in the works or not. Run a search on GORPE (spelling?). If there is another way, I haven't figured it out yet.

There are a lot of topics about this in the forum (mostly old), just do a search for "TerrainManager"

The only thing I know of still available is here www.fractalscape.org/TorqueTerrain, but note that it is based on an older version of TGE so you might need to put in some work to get it working with TGE1.4There are a lot of topics about this in the forum (mostly old), just do a search for "TerrainManager"

imagine an inverted terrain above the player... could make for some very nice underground type vast cave missions. I think Magic Carpet did this once. Looked freaky.
