Hey Vincent,

Looks like TSE MS4 is here. Any news from you to make us happier still?

@Dave : Yes, making atlas2 work...
Atlas History :
MS 3 it Works fine...
MS 3.5 : Textures are completely revert (x,y swap, and rgba swap)
MS 4 : It doesn't work at all. :(
So... I'm thinking about porting HTC To TGE :(... lol

Arrgh! No...TSE please.

I guess you've tried recreating your terrain in M4 from scratch?

No I just take a RAW and a JPEG to make an atlas file (with MS4), and TSE simply crash when trying to read this atlas file.

Ouch. I'll try the same thing tomorrow and let you know what happens.

Tried converting an old jpg and chu file and they work fine. Will try a raw file next.

Hi Vincent, I see this on TDN.

"The unified LOD generation system for terrain geometry isn't currently functional, so for now you'll need to generate a .chu via the old techniques, and import it."

I don't know how up to date this is, but it looks like you have to do it the old way and then run the import. As mentioned, I tried importing some old chu files and they seem to come in OK.

Just checking that you ran the following command after creating the geometry and texture files?

atlasGenerateUniqueTerrain(outAtlasFile, geometryAtlasFile, textureAtlasFile)

Hi Vincent, I just ran all those commands on a 1024 file and it worked fine.

The only thing I notice is that in one of your examples you are using a geom treedepth of 4 and a tex treedepth of 2. In the other you are using geom depth of 3 and tex of 2. Could this be confusing the program? I think they are meant to match. I used 6 for both of my treedepth values.

Dave.

Hey Vincent. I emailed you earlier about the broken download form. I noticed above you say there's a mirror? I can't seem to find it. If you or someone could point out a working download I'd be grateful :) Thanks.
