Larger Terrain Brush size

by Vincent BILLET · in Torque 3D Beginner · 12/19/2012 (6:44 am) · 3 replies

To Set a Larger Brush size for Terrain Editor or Terrain Painter, edit tools/settings.xml

search "maxBrushSize", and replace the line with the following line :
<Setting name="maxBrushSize">256 256</Setting>

launch T3D 1.2 MIT and now you can set a brush size larger than 40.

Enjoy !

Keep in mind that the settings.xml is client generated preference data, and is something that should be cleaned/deleted if certain changes are made in the engine. If settings.xml is removed as part of routine maintenance, or forced to regenerate, then you've just lost this change.

This Resource, Changing the world editors max brush size, demonstrates the engine and script side changes to make altering the brush size more permanent.

Settings.xml is regenerated each time you use Torque and saved with previous maxBrushSize (the same). I didn't find any way to change maxBrushSize value in Torque Editor (except init code).
Editing settings.xml is quick and sufficient.
That said, you're right (for remove reason) and thanks for the link. GG Search engine did not show me this resource, Only old forum in which it appeared to be impossible to change it.
