Howdy yall. I've been trying to stitch together a large terrain using the method at http://www.bundysoft.com/wiki/doku.php? ... heightmaps
I can make multiple heightmaps of 512x512 and stitch 4 together for a 1024x1024, but when I try to stitch those together in a 4x4 grid for a 4096x4096 I get an error

atMergeMap::MergeHF_UI error:
- cannot get heightfield mosaic path

It happens after I merge the 4 on the left, then I add the bottom one on the next column, and I get an error adding the second one on the second column.

an update. I tried just merging the one causing the error with the one below it separately and the one beside it separately, no error.

Then I tried merging 4 of the 1024x1024 into a 2048x2048. I was able to merge them all, so I had 4.

When I tried to merge those 4 (2048x2048) into a 4096x4096 it let me merge the 2 on the left, but when I tried to merge the lower right, I got the same error.

Is there a size limit to merging?

version

Version: 12.03 Pro dev build 3
Build date: 26-Mar-2012

Update #2

I combined 2 of the 2048x2048 into a 2048x4096 twice, then tried to combine those 2 2048x4096 into a 4096x4096 and got the error again.

Hi BRG,

Oops, it seems the map merging code was never updated to handle virtual mosaic maps (which have no file path), which were added in v11.08. I'm working on the update now. I apologise for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Aaron.

Hi BRG,

The updated plugin is available here:

http://www.bundysoft.com/L3DT/downloads/plugins/bin/atMergeMap-bin.zip

To apply this update, unpack the plugin ZEO file from the zip archive, and copy it over the existing file at:

C:\Program Files\Bundysoft\L3DT [version]\Extensions\atMergeMap.zeo

Please let me know if you find any further problems with this plugin.

Best regards,
Aaron.

Worked great. On a side note, us Windows 7 users have the path at

C:\Program Files (x86)\Bundysoft\L3DT [version]\Extensions\atMergeMap.zeo

Indeed, myself included. I apologise for my lazy shorthand.
