... Hmmm. In the non-tileset case, you could use switch-texture at runtime, to switch between a texture with transparency, and an opaque texture. With a ...
I'm using a terrain that has both land elevations and bathymetric elevations. When I view it in Enviro, I'm including an Ocean Plane at an elevation of 0....
... Yes, that's been a known problem with Enviro for a long time. It has been solved in the libMini core as of last year by computing the intersection of a sea...
Hiya, thanks for reading this. I used VTBuilder to export an image to tiles. This created a bunch of .db files. Now I want to convert those .db files to an...
You probably used the "optimized export to tiles" option of vtb. this exports to the db format. But there is also the non-optimized export to tiles version...
Hi List, I've been hacking around a bit in Enviro - it's nearly perfect for a simple personal project I'm working on rapid prototyping. The goal is the end...
Jodie, you have a good point. there are getters for the altitude at a point, but no similar method for the gradient at the higher levels of enviro, although...
First - thank you for the very detailed answer! I was actually just drafting an email for clarification on this. I have a lot of programming experience (30+...
Stefan, thanks for pointing that out, i have added to vtTiledGeom: if (vNormal) m_pMiniLoad->getnormal(p3.x, p3.z, &vNormal->x, &vNormal->y, &vNormal->z); That...
... &vNormal->>z); Ok - I think I'm lost again. :-) Like I say - 3D game dev is outside of my expertise. If I wanted the slope and I had two coordinates in...
Jodie, what it means is that you need to query the height field (vtHeightField) with the FindAltitudeAtPoint method to get the height of the height field at a...
... Ok, I see, vtTiledGeom was the only implementation of vtHeightField that forgot to implement to return the normal. Good that we found out now. ... Yes, it...
I have uploaded a new VTP release. For people who installed from the Windows installers, you can un-install and re-install from the download folder. If you...
Hi, I am trying to create four extra plant models for vtp but they do not appear to be displaying in enviro (see the attached images). They were downloaded...

Wil, I tried your plant models, and they worked well. We just need to troubleshoot why they are not working for you. Please confirm: 1. You have added your...
I should also say that when I go through the generate vegetation dialog in vt builder and it shows the veg distribution results the new plants are listed along...
Wil, ... Please just confirm that you have done the steps i indicated: 1. You have added your species (Acacia_melanoxylon, etc.) to the main species.xml file. ...
Wil, ... That means either: A. You didn't add your species to the species.xml that's being used, or B. The plant images aren't found - you must not have put...
Ok I followed your steps in the following way (unfortunately I have not done this before as i was following a tutorial made by the lecturer for the bioregions...
... You'll find it in the same folder as the app, after it runs. ... Those aren't the steps i suggested. You don't need to run VTBuilder at all. To add plants...
Ben, we 'solved' the problem. these are university computers and unfortunately we are not allowed access to the program folder. therefore we cannot put the new...

Wil, ... That is amazing. I have heard of such a limitation in some installations of Vista. It is for that reason, the VTP installation instructions...
yeah i knew it wouldn't be too complicated, it was just the good old access restrictions at uni, coming back to bite us in the worst way possible! i said...
If you can hand edit your VTP path file then put the path with your species file first in the list. VTP uses the first species file etc. it encounters on the...
i wonder if there's a problem with the program as when i deleted the original path to the program folder where the original species list/models were, and only...
