Okay, just got that new game... you get to figure out which one. Anyway, it inspired me to try and do that style of terrain in DBPro. Well, here's what I got. Not too shabby. It's still a work in progress, but I think it's decent. And no, I'm not comparing it to that game's terrain by any means. But you can see the inspiration.

Would like feedback. There are a few minor issues I am aware of, but I'll keep quiet in hopes of getting more feedback.

Enjoy.

Edit: PS. Ignore the name (I was just thinking in terms of the concept when I named it). And here's a screenshot:

Don't know which game it's from, but it's good anyway.

Nice idea. Food for thought - might want to look at optimising the code somehow.

Working on it. One step I'm taking is dividing the update area into quadrants and updating only one section per frame. This helps to distribute the load.

That could be it.

Here's an update. A little more artwork. The code has been optimized quite a bit (if you are getting 60+ FPS, you can try setting the Sync Rate to 0 to get a higher FPS if you want).

Also added is a parser text file (Statics.txt). This file makes it easy to modify the Static Objects. So now the entire "zone" can be modified without changing the code. Change the Advanced Terrain object and associated textures. Change the Color Map.png file to tell the code where to place the static objects. And finally, add in your own static objects and textures, and adjust the Statics.txt file accordingly (instructions are in the file). Enjoy!

Edit: Note, this was made using 5.9 and may not work properly in 6u10. For 6u10, try changing Instance Object to Clone Object.

Probably something they "fixed" in U6 but I get variable name max not valid (I fixed thisby replacing them with _max) and an array subscripts out of bounds error at line 256 [supposedly this line : StaticStats(i).Fog=Val(PFile(i,12)) ].

Thanks for giving it a go LiT. Yeah, I'm probably not going to upgrade to 6.0 until it's a little more stable. The 'variable name not valid' I can live with, but the 'array subscript out of bounds' is an issue. Also, the fact that Object Screen X() and Object In Screen do not work properly with Instanced Objects has me concerned as well.

It's odd that that particular line would give it a problem. I'm thinking this one...
Static(i,0)=Load_Static(i)

...for no reason other than if the code went through the first 12 parts of the array, why stop on the last one? It looks like the text file is loading correctly, so there should be 13 items (you can check the text file).

Anyway, here's the .exe file if you want to try it straight off. Just export the exe to the same folder as all the media.

The exe works fine. The only place it slows down is when walking through the purple flowers. The U6 array error goes away if I add one element to the PFile()'s second demension, but the code is way off. There is something weird there lol.
