Simple terrain guestion

by Ollipekka M · in Torque Game Engine · 03/25/2002 (5:54 pm) · 3 replies

Can you limit the number of terrain blocks, like when you want to make an island from 2x2 terrain blocks.. Or does the terrain engine just repeat those 256x256 blocks froever?

p.s. I know that this is a lame guestion but I couldnt find the answer anywhere...

As of right now, there's only one 'TerrainBlock' that's created with a 256x256 heightfield...

Hopefully in the future the terrain will be expanded to support larger terrains, but for right now them's the breaks
