Thanks, its the tools I use though. Ive been mocking up 3 tutorials, Creating the terrains in geocontrol, thats going to be a long one... Importing the terrain into torque, some things you need to do beforehand in photoshop/gimp
and texturing the terrains within torque

no eta on them though, I hate writing things like that lol, I can never settle on the best ways to present things

Here, have another map...

This ones a bit different, a large snowy island, and includes a couple of (bad) ice block shapes, and a show precipitation effect and environment.cs

Available for download here

WARNING: This terrain pack also contains a precipitation effect for the snow. If you have custom additions to your default environment.cs datablock entries, then this file will need to be merged or you will lose your additions to it. Its just one entry thats relevant, "BAGSnow". You also need the Snow and Ice texture set

It's late and there may be a higher than usual chance that I fecked something up, let me know if there are any problems but it should all work

Thanks J0linar, I see whats happening with the snowy map... Ill sort that out now

It's a typo in the precipitation folder stopping the snow, I spelt it precipitaion (Missed a t... in art/environment you will have 2 folders now, delete the one spelt wrong, will have to re-upload this map)

You need to have the stone, gravel and snow texture packs for this map so that all detail maps are there.

Uploading the new pack for the snowy map now. Ive put it into a clean install and its loading up with all textures and snow for me now

Thats the only map that had issues ?
