Need help with Terrain Editor
by Rodney (OldRod) Burns · in Torque Game Engine · 08/26/2001 (4:58 am) · 1 replies
Can someone point me to a good tutorial for using the Terrain Editor and Terraformer?
I've looked at Zear's tutorial and the directories appear to be different under V12, so that one doesn't work when I try to follow through it.
I never played or edited Tribes 1 or Tribes 2, so I don't have any background in this editor at all. Anyone got some help for a complete newbie in Terrain editing? :)

One thing I recommend is to pick up a copy of Tribes 2 - and I'm not a Sierra employee. :-)
The Terrain editor in the current V12 build crashes all the time -- T2's is much more stable. Hopefully on a future build...
Plus you can use the Scripts and such from T2 as references for your own game code (note that licensing the V12 does *not* give you rights to use T2 scripts and textures etc. though).
As far as tutorials, the Tribes 2 community is very small. I have been part of the Unreal Tournament community for a few years, and its peer support is much larger. Prior to purchasing the V12 I checked out PlanetTribes.com and other sites, and the peer network is very small -- almost nothing on tutorials or scripting. Hopefully the licensee area on GG will start to have additional tutorials on the V12.
