Help! Trouble w/ the ingame editor...

#1 The terrain engine isn't in marble blast. The terrain editor should be disabled, but in the meantime, don't click on it. ;)

#2 then where is it? is it quark...?

#3 No, it's not there. As in, it doesn't exist in Marble Blast.

#4 It should be there! Man, imagine the possibilities...

#5 Then how did that guy make skyhook? That's a custom map w/ custom terrain?

#6 SkyHook has no terrain.

#7 Marble Blast does not use the Torque engine's exterior terrain. All the levels are interior objects (.dif files) which can be compiled from .map format levels.

You can build custom interiors in the open source map editing program QuArK. This is the program that was used to build the levels in Marble Blast, as well as many custom levels (Worldcraft can also be used, but is not directly supported)

#8 Thanks alex! :)

#10 The marble physics and stencil lighting don't work with the terrain that comes default with the Torque engine. The decision not to include terrain was made early on in hte design process, because the stylistic and design qualities of interior objects seemed to suit the concept of the game better than sprawling outdoor areas.

As to why the terrain editing options are still in the mission editor... I don't know, probably wouldn't be too hard to hide those menu options. I'll mention it to Mark in case he does another release at some point.
