Report

Release 2.2 is only a week (or four) away, depending on other work. I fixed the lake-flooding bug and I'm working on the 'file format options' dialog (see last post). At this stage the climate list will include only 'temperate' and 'arctic', but I will post a few more climates after the release of L3DT 2.2.

Another progress report

Things left to do for L3DT 2.2:

  • Add more output options (eg JPEG quality, HFF precision, etc)
  • Add two more heightfield export options (PGM and RAW).
  • Fix a bug in the lake flooding.

I think that's about it.

I've tweaked the thermal and fluvial erosion algorithms to produce terrain that one might dare to call 'realistic-looking' (see screenshot).

At a guess L3DT 2.2 should be done by the end of the month.

…Oh yes, and I'll be moving the L3DT website to a new host that doesn't have quite the same download limit as GeoCities. Should be done in a week or two. URL to be advised.
