TGEA terrain documentation?

by Stabbing Pixies · in Torque Game Engine · 02/05/2007 (6:12 am) · 2 replies

Hi!


Is there anyway to gain access to the TGEA documentation? At least with regards to upgrading from TGE?
I am in need of some expanded functionality with regards terrain generation, and have been pointed to TGEA as the way to go.

I would like to get some oversight of the terrain development process, and an understanding of a content creation pipeline in that engine. This doesn't seem possible from the public forums.

Is there a TGEA walkthrough or demo, or any public documents that detail the new terrain pipeline?


Cheers,

Mike in Norway.

The TGEA 4.2 demo has an example of Atlas terrain. This will give you a visual of how the terrain looks, and you can check the files to find the atlas file and read the scripts for the TS implementation. If you read up on L3DT, a tool used to create the terrain, you'll get the information you need for terrain generation.

In that case you have a different demo than I have.

Mine has a useless space ork with some mapping effects on a reflecting plane (stretched cube). It does not show anything usefull to tell the truth ...

all the old demo levels were removed although they were world more usefull. If you still have the old demos or demo levels, do you feel like sharing? :) (using TGE levels sadly does not work ^^ Thought I could do it the lazy way by simply using the stronghold testlevel from TGE)
