Ok, so briefly.

Export all terrain associated textures seperately as bmp:
Blendmap 0
Blendmap 1 (If 8 terrain textures used)
Shadowmap (RGB or Greyscale)
Textures 0 - 3
Textures 4 - 7 (If used)

Export water plane as hmp
Export associated water textures

Not too sure about the skycube aspect. Seems as though there are many other apps for generating skycube stuff?

If dds is checked I will still put the dds filnames into the relevant hmps (still keeping the files as external) as this allows me (anyone) to just export and run the game without having to do anything else.

If you keep the textures packed the way I do then you can have

1 x blend map
1 x shadowmap (8bit)
4 x terrain textures
4 x terrain normal maps
4 x greyscale detail maps

all packed into 8 textures.

Sounds like a plan, Would you also be amending the material.fx so we can
use all 8 textures and water texture?

you mean terrain.fx?

That's the one, I was tired and to lazy to look for the proper name

It's still not working here
I don't really want to download the dxsdk (over 400 Mb!)
Btw. Im runing XP (SP3), GTS-8800, Intel-Dualcore, latest directX. I never had troubles with missing dx-components so far...and yes I did erase the "$" and copied the files into the proper folders. I also cleared the plugin folder and put the plugins back one by one...diden't help

Hey Loopix how you doing.
Have you tried using EarthSculptor v1.05

Hey loopix, other than using v1.05 I'm really not sure what to suggest. I can put some debug msgbox stuff in to see if and where it's crashing if you don't mind?

Actually, I have a logging class somewhere I'll put that in and put a ton of logmsgs throughout the code, just let me know if you want to do that...

Do you need the registered version? Because its not showing up in my export menu. I would really like to use this, it looks awesome.

Honestly, I'm not sure if you need the reg version or not. I bought a reg key from day one...

Gamer, did you download d3dx9_36.dll? Look in this thread for the url if you didn't d/l it already.♦

Yea i put that in but it still seems its not coming up is there any way to get the obj exporter to export so that i can merge the vertexes and convert it? Because every time i try no matter what LOD i put or if i turn it off the vertexes still end up wrong.
