Every time i try to build terrains my compiler crashes when teh program executes on the build terrain comment with a Accessviolation Exception. heres my code:

+ Code Snippet

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	// turn on sync rate and set maximum rate to 60 fps
	dbSyncOn   ( );
	dbSyncRate ( 60 );
	dbMakeObjectTerrain(1);
	dbSetTerrainHeightMap(1,"height.bmp");
	dbSetTerrainScale(1,200,200,200);
	dbSetTerrainSplit(1,10);
	dbSetTerrainTiling(1,1);
	dbBuildTerrain(1);
	// our main loop
	while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
	{
		// update the screen
		dbSync ( );
	}

Here is something that works for me. TGC never fixed the terrain bug that causes part of the terrain to become invisible, though. This is how I do it:

+ Code Snippet

	dbSetupTerrain();
	dbMakeObjectTerrain(TER_MAIN);
	dbSetTerrainScale(TER_MAIN, TER_SCALE, TER_SCALE, TER_SCALE);
	dbSetTerrainHeightMap(TER_MAIN, g_szLand);
	dbSetTerrainTexture(TER_MAIN, IMG_TXT, IMG_TXT);
	dbBuildTerrain(TER_MAIN);

the key here - is the dbSetupTerrain call you make before other terrain commands.
