Area size in Terrain import
Hi. More questions on terrain import.

I created a terrain in L3DT

Terrain size 256x256 with 1 meter resolution
That would then in E2 be with an area size of 64 be
256/64 = 4 areas if I have understod things correctly

[Image: e11.PNG]

Setting the SizeX = SizeY = 4 in the import dialog
gives 5 'steps' in the viewer. Is that correct.
I though each square would be 64 pixels.

The import goes well but I dont understand the
size=4 while its 5 in the viewer.

RE: Area size in Terrain import
if I am not mistaken this is due to 0 counting at area(0,0) so areas should be 3.

Hi,
It's because the formula is calculated like that in this case :
Area rect.max=rect.min+size;
And then the rect is processed with min and Max inclusive, so you end up with 1 more square.
I may adjust this behavior to ignore the last square for next release.

Thank's for the explanation.
Then I understand why the area has to be one less then what it would be.
No problem with that when I know why smile

Thank you,
I've just commited a change to the source to make it more intuitive.
Now size=4 will affect only 4 squares.
