Terrain won't show up

[DK_PETER]

Hi Alexi

CreateTerrain(-1, 500, 12000, 600, 1, *Scene\Name, "Data")
~ You've set entity number to -1, why?

Best regards
Peter

Does the examples works ?

@Fred

Works fine here.. 5.20 LTS B13

[Fred]

I mean for Alexi, here it works as well

@Fred
Ooooh, I knoooow..I just wouldn't want to be left out ;-D

No seriously....Alexi uses an entity number of '-1'.

Code: Select all

Debug #PB_Any

Is -1

[DK_PETER]

Code: Select all

Debug #PB_Any

Hehe..I know Olby.. But putting '-1' in Createterrain() won't work.

Edit: Actually..It should work...Weird..

[Olby]

Code: Select all

Debug #PB_Any

Hehe..I know Olby.. But putting '-1' in Createterrain() won't work.

#Terrain - The number to identify the new terrain. #PB_Any can be used to auto-generate this number.

Edit: Like you've just realised, it should work.

@Olby..
I totally agree. I've just read it too. PB 5.20 LTS 13.
Duh!!! BuildTerrain(Bob) <--- My mistake..Wong number!
Damn..That's embarassing.

Seems like i fixed it. Don't use #PB_Terrain_Lightmap, maybe it's not freezing, but i don't want to wait 5 hours for a test run. And that's all. I simply use either #PB_Terrain_Lightmap or #PB_Terrain_NormalMap (#Null), but #PB_Terrain_NormalMap seems to work at a passable Speed.

And "Size" in CreateTerrain() must be equal the Heigthmap you are using. I simply use most common sizes like 64, 128, 512 + 1 Pixel. (65, 129, 513)

Once a terrain is generated and stored on disk it will try to reload it next time when you call createterrain using the same terrain file name. This way you will need to wait 5 hours only once.

I´ve programmed an Antifreezeloop

Try this, if you´re using WindowedScreen. If you´re using a Screen, edit it and post it for me :

Code: Select all

For terrainX = 0 To weltGroesse -1
        For terrainY = 0 To weltGroesse -1
          DefineTerrainTile(terrain, terrainX, terrainY, "heightmap.png", #False, #False)
          BuildTerrain(terrain)
          SaveTerrain(terrain, #True)
          SetGadgetState(#Progress_Laden_0, GetGadgetState(#Progress_Laden_0) + 1)
          Repeat
            SetActiveWindow(#Window_Laden)
          Until WindowEvent() = 0
        Next
      Next

There is only a Problem with the Windows Task-Manager. If I call it, it displays, that my program no longer works Oo
