The green box...

by Thales Ferreira · in Artist Corner · 09/25/2002 (4:25 pm) · 4 replies

Hi,
I know that you can only edit the terrain inside the green box, since everything outside is just the terrain inside repeated, but is there any way to increase the size of the green box?
Thanks for the attention... :-)

Check the terrain block in the mission file. There are a couple of variables that might be useful to you:

Quote: new TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
scale = "1 1 1";
detailTexture = "./test1/textures/detail1";
terrainFile = "./test1.ter";
squareSize = "8";
emptySquares = "443522 443778 444034";
locked = "true";
position = "-1024 -1024 0";
};

Check out scale and squaresize. Play around with these and see what happens.

um .. what did you change ... square size ... I currently have mine at two, making the terrain look a lot better. Is there another way to do this?

I changed the squaresize, since I need a big mission, I made mine 10, you lose a little of the detail, but since the aircraft will be traveling fast I can live with it. :-) I tried changing the scale, but everytime I changed the values the test guy would fall right through the ground, I tried moving the spawnsphere but it didn't do any good, so for now I'm sticking to using only the squaresize.
