Multiple terrain in TSE...???

by Chan Chi Kit · in Torque Game Engine · 09/05/2006 (11:19 am) · 2 replies

I have made 4 terrains/mission in TGE with squaresize of 8, but now, I have just purchased TSE and want to import all of my terrains/mission into 1 terrain/mission. Since TSE supports hugh terrain, I would like to change the squaresize to 4 in TSE to improve terrain texture resolution...

How can I do that...??? Does TSE have multiple terrains editor...??? Where can I find the tools...?

Can I export terraform bitmap of 4 terrains in TGE and combine them into 1 hightmap png file, then import the combined hightmap into TSE...??? If so, what is the maximum size of hightmap for TSE...???

Thanks ~~~

You might want to try posting this in the TSE forum section.

I don't own TSE so I don't know for certain, but I don't think that's the way it works.

From what I understand, TSE has two types of terrain. Atlas and Legacy, the latter being the same as what TGE has. I don't think Legacy terrain has been improved or changed at all in TSE so I don't think you can merge four of them into one.

I imagine you would need to use an external terrain creating program like L3DT, create your heightmap and texture then import them into TSE using Atlas.

Tim is correct. There are actually 2 versions of Atlas in TSE, but they both work generally the same (the underlying code is different)
