Creating 100x100

Postby DarkCore » Tue Jul 04, 2006 12:31 am

I have L3DT Standard and when I try to make a terrain 100x100 it dosn't work. I get the error when I click next the first time on Inflate or Inisiate. (SOrry I can't get a clear reading).

Hi DarkCore,

This is going to sound crazy, but 100x100 is actually larger than the size limit for the standard edition. Bear with me though - the size you're setting in the design/inflate wizard isn't the final size of the terrain, it's the size of the 'design-map', which is a sort of low-res terrain map. It's 1/64th the size of the final heightfield, so a 100x100 design map (such as you were making) would have given you a 6,400 x 6,400 pixel heightmap. The limit in the standard edition is 2048 x 2048, which works out as a 32 x 32 pixel design map.

Now, if you actually want to make a 100 x 100 pixel terrain map, there is another problem too - the minimum size for the design-inflate algorithm is 256 x 256 (that's 4x4 design-map pixels). If you want to make a map smaller than 256x256, you will need to use the smallest possible size, then use the 'operations->heightfield->resample' to down-size the terrain.

Anyway, thank-you for reporting this bug - the interface shouldn't have let you enter such a large value for the design map size. I'll fix this shortly.

Best regards,
Aaron.

PS: Did any of this make sense?
