Lol, this made my day (at 10:15 AM).

Hi Cowabanga,

Can you give me some reference or sample games/demos how to use the chunked terrain? If you have it...

Thanks

Hey,
Chunked terrain is set when you go to map properties and apply mesh mode.
What ever number you set determines the size of the chunks I recall but then when this first appeared, we were to have added a line saying something like chhunked = 2; or something.
This was suppossed to have set any large terrain to cut up units for frustrum viewing so that the rest of it could be clipped out while player wasnt seeing them.
Anyway, it may help or set someone elses memory off ....

But how about in programming side?

Would i need to do dynamic loading of the level (wmb file)?
I think I needed to do it since it's created in separate level....

Pls. advise. Thanks

Sorry. I'm still confused. I already read terrain theory. Can someone would lead me to show how chunk terrain works?

Thanks

What particular question do you have?

Hi jcl,

Can you just give me some sample/demos how the to do/apply chunk terrain?

What I want to do is that if ever I have a huge terrain, I wan't to make it a multiple heightmap to make it optimize..I bumped at this thread, thinking this would answer my query.

My concern is that if ever I'll make a multiple heightmap,
- do I need to load it separately?
- how to make it appear the separate heightmaps into a one single heightmap?

Thanks

Examples of chunked terrains can be found in the samples folder, and in the carlevel folder. Look for ".hmp" files. There are also lots of chunked terrains in user levels all over this forum, and in the user demos on the AU resource page.

If you have multiple heightmaps, you have the choice to create multiple chunked terrains from them, or use a paint program to merge them to a single height image. Both ways are equivalent.

Creating terrains from height maps is described in the MED manual.
