Atlas - can't get anything visible...

by Kaya Dogan · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 08/13/2006 (10:19 am) · 3 replies

We have created an atlas terrain file out of one .atlas texture file and one .atlas geometry file. Then we added the following stuff to our mission file:

new AtlasInstance2(NewTerrain) {
position = "0 0 66.8";
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
scale = "1 1 1";
atlasFile = "./sandbox.atlas";
};

But all we can see is our old pre-atlas terrain. The atlas stuff is in the inspector but onscreen there is no visible atlas terrain...please help...

Just one trouble shooting idea.... is the camera below the terrain? Try moving up a ways to see if you can "rise above". Terrains are one-sided, so you can't see them if you are below them vertically.

Yeah...tried that, but all I get to see is a "ghosted" plane mesh or something plus a bounding box...

What happens if you stick a breakpoint in the atlasinstance2 render function?
