New erode test

[Tom cortvriendt]

WTF? it worked for me but now im playing with it, it starts up with the 1.7 update , but i installed this update for it?? -.-

This isnt an update, it's effectively just another snapshot.

The best no-op would probably be "raise" with submode "lower only" or vice versa.

That seemed to remove any erosion that occurred.

Also, what's with the terrain before you update the shading? It moves around a lot

I know, but when i made the batch file i still open up with 1.7

Did you replace mx.exe with this snapshot? If not, that's why, edit the batch file to open mx-2012-06-22.exe instead.

Is this a smooth brush it applies? Like, does it linearly taper off in strength from the centre, with no strength at the radius?

It's the same as using raise and lower in the editor with focus at 0.

The back buffer is out of sync, but since the editor didn't change it it doesn't think it needs to update it. Click somewhere else first and it will resync.

It delays the updates so it won't move the ground while the wheel is touching it. It shouldn't care about the shading, although updating the shading will also make it get the terrain tessellation right.

thamks! this is sick!

Got rid of the environment variables and added it to the tileinfo file. Here are the new tileinfo variable names and defaults:

erode_depth 1.0
erode_lower 100.0
erode_upper 200.0
erode_displacement 8.0
erode_radius 8.0
erode_max_slope 0.25

Also fixed the shading and made the tessellator update it's cached info 8 times more often to reduce the LOD popping.

The editor updates are really laggy now. It's a side effect of speeding up the shading updates and will be fixed soon.

Thanks!

OMG, did not read that as automatic shading updates!!! Yeeehaaawww

Sorta regret texturing tracks with the shadingx2 now, lol. Also, not including the shadows.pgm file.

Reckon you could add a separate colouring file? It's probably worth doing now, as it's something I'd want with the terrain shaders when the shading/shadingx2 files become obsolete. If possible, can it not be fixed resolution like the shading file is? Also, if possible, could the bike draw a line to this image where the bike goes, sorta like how it used to draw the red line? Probably asking too much there. Thanks though

[barrington314]

would i do it like this?
friction 1.0 1.0
friction 1.0 40.0
friction 1.5 64.0
roll_resist 5.0 15.0 10.0
texture @dirt.ppm
roost texture=@splash.png grow=1.5 slow_angle=0.5 drag=0 size=1.0 r=44 g=33 b=29 fade_a=0
erode_depth 1.0
erode_lower 100.0
erode_upper 200.0
erode_displacement 8.0
erode_radius 8.0
erode_max_slope 0.25
addtile

and how would i go about using it on JLVs sx tracks?

[DJ99X]

Yep, thats it.

You can put your own tileinfo file in the track folder.

Would the easiest way to see this working, be save a demo of it. and keep going over the demo? or what.
