hello,

I want to create a hmp with four textures.the first should be gras, the next maybe rocks, than sand and than, last but not least a dirt texture.

so I´d like to have the chance for different juses...

a way between rocks and gras and so on

the problem is,that I have no skills by using shaders and I heared about a shader or a system,that use different .tga´s for showing the textures on the point I like...

has anybody an idea?

look into the wiki and search older forum threads for "terrain multitexturing". i think you'll find what you want.

I found this code,but it don´t work cause of dx9c... is there anybody who know to update it????please help me!

bmap blend1 = <blend1.tga>;
bmap blend2 = <blend2.tga>;
bmap blend3 = <blend3.tga>;

function textur ()
{

bmap_to_mipmap(mtl.skin1);
bmap_to_mipmap(mtl.skin2);
bmap_to_mipmap(mtl.skin3);


mtl.matrix11 = float(20);
mtl.matrix22 = float(20);

}


material detail
{

skin1 = blend1;
Skin2 = blend2;
Skin3 = blend3;



event = terrain;

effect =

texture mtlSkin1; // Blending map for Pass P1

texture mtlSkin3;
texture entSkin1; // Tileable Tex for Pass P0

you can download it here: http://www.conitec.net/a4update.htm
But ti won't work until you updated your A6 com or pro to the public beta 6.31.

Don: You want a DX9.00c version of this thing?? Is that it??

Eric

I'd like one too.

Ever since I updated my terrains have looked pretty bad because I can't figure out how to update the code.

Logan

Eric: yes it would be fantastic!cause everything I tried was a great disaster...

pappenheimer: I updated ist to A6.32...

There is some code similar to what you want here.

Thread

If you have trouble making it work, or adapting it to simply multi-texturing, then go ahead and post in that thread.

A note: I have heard that a future "3PM" will have an article on this. I may be wrong, tho.

thanks for your help Steempipe!!!it is working very nice!

one question: is there a way to give every texture another .tga?
