Title: adding infinite terrain to custom island
Post by: DeanosBeano on 05 Jul 2009, 22:08:20

   I am currently working on a new island and thought i would share my findings here in this thread and maybe others can join in .
 firstly i thought i would share this find , added to a custom world config it adds the infinite terrain ( like chernaruss with the odd lake and hill )

 i have placed it with in the config immediately before class grid and it works real nice.

 

Code: [Select]

class OutsideTerrain
      {
        satellite = "afghanistan\data\s_satout_co.paa";
        enableTerrainSynth = 1;
        class Layers
        {
          class Layer0
          {
            nopx = "afghanistan\data\cr_trava1_detail_nopx.paa";
            texture = "afghanistan\data\cr_trava1_detail_co.paa";
          };
        };
      };
  Have fun

nice find. thanks for sharing.  :good:

Any idea how a very small world with it combined works?
What is smallest - in v3 is 16x16.

 It seems to seed from  the shape of the original island to the point that .

 if your 16x16 is flat so will your infinite terrain be and if it has peaks and troughs then the infinite terrain will also have similar but not so high and low in there values , it does produce small lakes too.

 It is however a very cheap way to create a nice infinite land and would be nice for MP games because the infinite terrain never changes onload so, any units static objects etc placed in editor will be ok and not in the air .

 of course if you do make a 16x16 map you must becareful of how you ste zoom in the map or you wont see this infinite terrain to place things in editor.

Infinite terrain has no black borders right?

If you change the zoom values to make it very much zoomable?
