Atlas functions not found (1.8.1)

#21 hmm my project doesn't contain any other .atlas files than the one i have made. my .mis file doesn't have an atlastinstance in it either. this is what's in my .mis file for the terrain:

new TerrainBlock(terrain) {
      canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
      Enabled = "1";
      position = "-1024 -1024 0";
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      detailTexture = "scriptsAndAssets/data/terrains/details/detail1";
      terrainFile = "scriptsAndAssets/data/missions/village1_0.ter";
      squareSize = "8";
      tile = "0";
      detailDistance = "25";
      detailScale = "256";
      detailBrightness = "1";
      texelsPerMeter = "8";
      clipMapSizeLog2 = "10";
         bumpOffset = "0.01";
         bumpScale = "1";
         TypeBool locked = "true";
         zeroBumpScale = "8";
   };

is there something i should do within the terrain editor that converts it to an atlas terrain that i can replace with mine?

#22
In the editor: kill the TerrainBlock object (that's legacy terrain, not Atlas), go to World Editor Creator (F4) and select Mission Objects >> Environment >> Atlas. Then give the instance a name and select your Atlas file. Voila :)

#23 thanks so much! it did use my atlas terrain, but for some reason it didn't apply the texture to it. i'm just getting black ground and can't even use the terrain painter to add anything to it

#24
Are there any errors in the console log (tilde key to lower)?

The texture painter is for legacy terrain only. Atlas terrain cannot be edited from within the game.

#25 yeah i kind of figured the whole point of atlas was to do the terrain in another program and not have to mess with it in the editor. my console log says this for the atlas part:

Allocating a 512 px clipmap for a 4096px source texture.

i'v triple checked the texture file i'm using and it does indeed have texture on it and not black. do you think this has anything to do with my using atlasGenerateTextureTOCFromLargeJPEG instead of atlasGenerateTextureTOCFromTiles?

it wanted me to use atlasGenerateTextureTOCFromTiles in the script originally, but it crashed the game when i tried to execute it. i did export the texture file as a jpg like it said to do so the atlasGenerateTextureTOCFromLargeJPEG should have worked for the texture part of the atlas file i would think

#26 Hmm, not sure about the black terrain. Not that I haven't seen such a thing with Atlas, but can't at the moment recall some specific reason. Maybe the clipmap screwing up again. Toggle the editor. Try stuff. Freak out :)

The tiled texture creation code should be fine.

#27 haha yeah i'm just going to give it a break for tonight and try a bunch of stuff tomorrow like making a new map and loading it to see if it does the same thing. it might just be some random anomaly, who knows.

#28 To fix the problem with atlasGenerateTextureTOCFromTiles you will need to apply the fix I posted in my original response to your thread.

TGEA 1.8.0 BUG Atlas Terrain failed wrtiting bitmap

The fix is on the second page.

#29 ahhh thanks bill!
