Hi,

Can I somehow:

1. Make an empty World in the application code
2. Add new areas to this world (based on some previously generated heightmaps)
3. Brush grass, trees etc. on this new area
4. Save the world afterwards

1. Game::WorldManager::Create
2. WORLD_MANUAL -> area load -> edit heightmap (yes)
3. no
4. game::area::data::wantsToBeSaved -> true

Thanks for fast response. I did:

In Init():

Code:

EE::Game::WorldSettings worldSettings;

worldSettings.area_size=128;

worldSettings.hm_res=128;

myWorld.Create("world/my.world", worldSettings);

myWorld.init();

myWorld.New("world/my.world");

In Update():

Code:

myWorld.update(Cam.at);

In Render():

Code:

myWorld.draw();

However I have some more questions:
Regarding 2 - I didn't find any Area Load (or similar) members in the myWorld object. I don't know, how to add those areas.
Regarding 3 - But I still can manually place single objects (inc. grass), one by one?

Generally what I'm trying to do - I've got a bunch of 128x128 heightmaps, from which I'd like to make areas and then add them to current (newly made) world. All must be made in the code, because heightmaps are generated randomly at each start.

Still can't make it to work :-/

Use 129 as hm res

2. I think it's areasetstate

3. You can only create dynamic objects using these method. Game.world.objcreate. No embed, const, grass

Hmm, now it crashes, when I'm trying to do:

Code:

m1.load("mtrl/ground/0.mtrl");

    EE::Game::WorldSettings worldSettings;

    worldSettings.area_size=128;

    worldSettings.hm_res=128;

    Game::World.Create("world/empty.world",worldSettings);

    Game::World.init();

    Game::World.New  ("world/empty.world");

    Game::World.setObjType(Items  ,OBJ_ITEM  )  ;

    Game::World.update(Cam.at);

    Edit::Area ar(VecI2(1,1));

    ar.heightmap()->create(128,&m1,false,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

Use 129 Hm res
And heightmap() is null?

kulesz · 06-20-2011 10:34 AM

After:

Code:

Edit::Area ar(VecI2(1,1));

ar.heightmap()->create(129,&m1,false,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

int res=ar.heightmap()->resolution();

The value of res is 4 :-/
