How exactly do you calculate the split value? My calculation doesn't work...

Max indices per limb = 64K

Number of indices (i) = 2 * image width * image height (2 polys per pixel)

Therefore, number of Splits = SQRT(i), rounded up.

For a 256 x 256 bitmap, I would expect 2 splits, which = 4 limbs. But this crashes the app. If I set it to 4 Splits (16 limbs) it works.

Aren't there 6 indices per square?

That makes a maximum of 10922 points per limb, and that's a 104x104 square. So your split for 256x256 is 3 or above.

All this terminology confuses me

I was working on the number of polys, your figure sounds about right to me - cheers.

I think the Adv. Terrain Dll should automatically increase the split if it's too low - instead of crash
