Terrain textures with more than 4096x4096 px

Hi,

is it possible to use bigger textures than 4096 x 4096 pixel for terrain? If I use images with higher resulution, the terrain is just black and the framerate is down.

Thanks

Do not use textures with this size! I'm not wondering why the framerate is down just set as maximum 2048 x 2048 pixels. Elder graphic-cards do not support a higher size.

Okay, thanks, I didnt know that. Seems that I have to split my terrain, to achieve sharp textures.

or use a terrain shader wich supports multiple textures for one terrain ^^

Thank you. But I am no programmer, so I dont have the needed skill to do this with terrain shaders.

You can do it in this way:
include the mtlFX.c in your project. Then you have to allocate the action fx_terraintex to your terrain. The terrain should have some textures with alphachannel. A texture size with 512x512 pixels is very good for this!! You can also set the detail_size variable in your code to set the texture resolution.
And one thing.. every texture needs one renderpass. Many textures can kill the framerate. just try a little bit out.;) Make the texture size small as possible. I am using 256x256 pixels for my terraintextures.

Your signature says that you are using the free edition - therefore you can't use shaders. I wonder why nobody noticed.
Most likely you will have to split your terrain.

mtl_terraintex is fixed function, so no shaders needed. I use it with the Extra edition.
