You can use the fix function terrain shader that lets you layer textures with alpha maps on to one terrain. (It is said to be poor and slow - but not sure. You should look into ask one of the shader experts if the can make you something simple like this that isn't fixed function.) Quote: mtlFX.c - from manual fx_terraintex mtl_terraintex Terrain multitexture Fixed function effect; tiled textures with mask on alpha (see below). srv - is the time for communication between client and server apps. Not sure why its reading. ( I have no apps to check for it). @ Uhrwerk That clear that up. Thanks for the info. The manual should be clearer. Last edited by Malice; 05/23/13 22:59.

If you're not using multiplayer a high value of srv suggests that engine is just waiting. Keep in mind the frame rate is always a multiple of the screen's refresh rate unless you use triple buffering or disable v-sync. Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

You've solved my problem Uhrwerk XD At the least you taught me something You gave me an idea, and so i figured that I would raise my Fps to 120. (perhaps thats too high, strange? I don't know thats why Im trying to learn these things now ) Since I've raised my Fps, my refresh rate is now 0.8/1.0 and ents has EDIT: CUT IN HALF to 10.0 When I look into the distance of where it dropped from 60-50 it now drops from 120 - 60/70 and plays the same speed (which I realize is because thats the frame rate is programmed at) So my idea didnt really seem to help anything lol I'm going to play around with it now Why would anyone want to use tripple buffer anyway?

Because it decouples the framerate from the monitor's refreshrate at the expense of another screenbuffer. By providing a third screenbuffer you avoid that you have to wait for the screen to refresh because there is always at least one buffer available for the engine to render to.
