When importing an externa terrain into the editor there are some parameters that would need some explanation. I think such documentation was present in the wiki previously but not now. So here we go.


What does the Radius = 5 acutally mean?
How does this go along with imported map-size?


This is a size. But a size of what? Is it related to Radius ?


What does Target X = 5 mean. How does this relate to the other values (if it does).

Thanks for any clarification on how this works

These parameters are related to area coordinates only.
I think that you can easily notice this when you change the parameters, and the big red cube/rectangle on the world changes its dimensions.
Just zoom out your camera as far as it can, and then modify these parameters

Ok. One more thing. Say i have a map 512x512 that should cover 1024x1024 meters. What would then those values be?

Hi,

Total distance = Area Size * Number of Areas
if you want 1024 for total distance, then
1024 = Area Size * Number of Areas

You specify the Area Size when you create a new world. You can also easily check it when using the "Cursor position information" in world editor and moving to the edge of a single area.

Thanks. Still learning but first import from L3DT went well.

Glad to see you making progress Roland. Nice screenshot btw, very atmospheric!

Thank's a lot

Some work on the terrain textures and then time for trees, grass and bushes
