i think you could use ent_skins in the terrain action to find out the number of skins and then assign the proper material.

...
i am not sure but i think you should also add this to the shader:
MagFilter[2]=linear;
MinFilter[2]=linear;
MipFilter[2]=linear;
MagFilter[3]=linear; // !NEW!
MinFilter[3]=linear; // !NEW!
MipFilter[3]=linear; // !NEW!
point filtering seems to be the default for every stage above one. but probably this isn't very noticeable on the macro map...

should you add mimaps for the tileable skins??

yes!

Everything seems to working as it should. Here is a quick test shot of it in action. This is actually a riverbed but I moved the water for the shot.



The sand is the third tileable texture. Looks pretty nice.

it looks very nice! ...a good geforce3/4 compatible water shader would be a nice addition but i am still looking for one...

Be sure and start a post whenever you find a good water shader. I am in desparate need. I have started reading the shader explanation from the link that you posted but I fear it will be some time before in can start pumping these out on my own . Kind of stinks not having a coder working on this project. Maybe I'll have to get one.

Hello this is my first real shader I have implemented. It works great, but I think I'm doing something wrong with the alphachannel or just the image format. All my textures I use with it have discolored lines through them--besides that they look fine. I've tried using PSP and Photoshop--24 bit and 32 bit TGAs. Both formats have that distortion on the end. All 3 of my entSkins are 256x256. I have not modified the code at all. Has anyone ever ran into this?

Ahh needs to be 16 bit...cant tell i dont work with models usually can ya?

Great work! looks nice.

I usually use BMP for the tileable skins and a 32bit TGA for the "blend" skin.

i use 24bit tgas for the tileable textures and a 32bit tga for the blend texture and it works fine! ...psp has a known tga bug so maybe this causes your problem?

Hi,

I have changed the Multytexturing Shader effekt. Tha 4th Skin is a TGA skin for static shadow effect.
But the shadow is to "hard". The terrain is very large and The 4th skin issn´t tiled. My Question: Is there a chance to smoot these effect?

thx for help

add this:

MagFilter[3]=linear;
MinFilter[3]=linear;
MipFilter[3]=linear;

all stages above 1 seem to use point sampling by default...
