So Iīve read detail_size is not longer in the manual cause we should use material instead. OK. For two days I tried different shaders, played around with them and mixed them. I got a bump-map on my mapentities what was very funny cause crowdy. And I read more and more and I learned a lot. I went to microsofts hp and downloaded the directX 9 sdk. Very very interesting stuff. But I am not such a good programmer, and I would like to use only a material replacing that "detail_size", that works on 3D-graphic-carts without the possibility of vertex or pixelshaders. So, what can I do? Do I really have to learn all that stuff? Or is here anyone so kind and writes a material-effect replacing just the old detail_size and nothing more? With a lot of thanks before Lutz

There is an aum about using materials. I'm might find it if I'm feeling up to it, but it's late right now so maybe later.

Materials, yes. Shaders, no. There isn't an AUM for your situation, and I'm in the same one. I'd really like a shader for detail maps. Thankfully, Steempipe is working on a tutorial which uses terrain multitexturing, which could help you learn to make detail maps with shaders.

Iīve read threw the whole forum, threw wiki, threw directx9 sdk help, threw nvidias developer site, threw atis developer site, threw the manual of gamestudio, threw all aums, I made several downloads with a few hundred mb, but I found no solution.
So I told my problem here, at the place of the experts. I donīt want to describe the problem in every part of the forum again.
It is not a question about 200 textures on a terrain, itīs only a question of one stupid detailmap on a terrain, like it was possible before (and, I know, is still possible) with detail_size.
Hello, experts?! Anybody out there?

Code:
material mtl_terrain_detail_map
{
effect=
"
texture entSkin1;
texture entSkin2;
technique terrain_detail_map
{
pass p0
{
Texture[0]=<entSkin1>;
Texture[1]=<entSkin2>;
ColorArg1[0]=Texture;
ColorOp[0]=Modulate2x;
ColorArg2[0]=Diffuse;
TexCoordIndex[0]=0;
TextureTransformFlags[0]=Count2;
TextureTransform[0]={1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0, // color map u scale
0.0,1.0,0.0,0.0, // color map v scale
0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,
0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0};
ColorArg1[1]=Texture;
ColorOp[1]=AddSigned;
ColorArg2[1]=Current;
TexCoordIndex[1]=0;
TextureTransformFlags[1]=Count2;
TextureTransform[1]={8.0,0.0,0.0,0.0, // detail map u scale
0.0,8.0,0.0,0.0, // detail map v scale
0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,
0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0};
}
}
";
}
(not tested but it should be possible to achieve the same results as with the old terrain detail mapping with it!)

I just tried it: it doesnīt crash. But the effect is only a lighter first texture on the terrain as I can see up to now. But thanks for your try anyway. Lutz

You could go here: web page Register for the forums, then under Resources there is some code. I had to change this in the Sample.wdl, tho: path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudioBeta\\template"; to path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio6\\template";
