Hello, I'm new with Blitz terrain and I have few questions:

1. I seen the examples with the package, How can I add gravity to walk on that land (i tried to adapted from an other game, but wasnt possible)

2. I have also l3dt pro, and I want to work in huge maps, in Blitz terrains. I created a map, splitted in 256x256, but dont want to start.....I seen the documentation(manual), didn't read all...can I find something good there for this problem especialy?

3. I tested also the example of Huge maps in Blitz, but to me not working, what plugin to install??, (was stopped to some KV letters, if I remember well), I'm not in the front of my personal computer now..

Thanks in advance

Mihai

1) there are many ways to add gravity.
Use a physics engine, or code it yourself. (Subtracting from the y position of your object when it's not touching the ground is a start.)

2) the demo supports only 1 terrain.

3) it's probably his anisotropic filtering plugin. Search the forum for it.

An environment map is just an image, so any graphics software will do.

Thank you for your answer, but i seen even it is just an image, the problem is the content of that image, i suppose I cant stay and paint whatever i want....I can give you some examples in blender, or other programs, which transform a 3d image in am environment map (if I understood well). can you give me some details please?

Unfortunately I cannot. I can advise how to automatically create environments based on heightmaps, but arbitrary environment maps within blender I've no idea. (My knowledge of blender is very small.)

I don't use environment maps myself, as I base my terrains on the height, or rather the pixel color value in the heightmap, as my terrains are randomly generated at runtime. That way I can control what foliage can appear where based on not only the height about 'sea level', but the angle of slopes too.

I love my procedural environments in Bang Bang 2!

You need to use the BT GetGroundHeight (is this right?) command to get the height of the ground, and ensure that you code in a collision text. BlitzTerrain doesn't support the built in collision, as it doesn't create standard DBPro objects. (Unless you turn it on)

1. Thanx for message. Is right, I work with the BT GetGroundHeight.
Problem is are very few examples with object collisions, or, I didn't seen nothing about that, also in the official help of Blitzwerks. So maybe you can give me a more complet example abou that.

2. Even if one week ago i said on the forum i fixed my problem with dark Physics, is not like that. If at beginning wasn't working nothing with physics, now I can start the small examples, BUT my complex applications start to load, and never end....didnt start the games practically. I suppose is missing a plugin, but donno what is the name of that.

3. I started to work with the Huge Blitz terrain example, heightmap of 2048. I made an other heightmap with L3dt Pro...changed the heightmap, and I have an error (that error which want to send message to producer). I tried also to modify in L3dt the original heightmap, made small changes, and again..same error....I need also a special plugin???/ or is something else??

Thank you very much
