Grubber, you rock ... 8-)

If anyone had asked me if a terrain generator was possible for the Doom engine I'd have busted a gut laughing. I've been playing with your brainchild using heightmaps generated with

http://www.world-machine.com/

and still find it hard to believe. Am downloading your latest version now and have a question:

Are you planning a method to specify different flats for different floor and/or ceiling heights? This would allow flat changes and transitions between differing heights besides the one you've just implemented for below 0 floor height which is most useful for adding deep water.

It just might be possible, that someone finds it useful.
Provided they can actually get it off there. (when it's not saying you're already downloading something when you're not)

ok Grubber I've been trying to DL your latest release ... I get "file size 429kb" at the start but the DL finishes at between 30 and 32kb with only ZTerrain.exe and ZTerrain.htm in the DL (although the ZTerrain.exe and ZTerrain.htm are not corrupted). Would like to see the demo.wads if you can help ...

Ye thx JonD but already had it; was asking about more texturing flexibility for say, lowlands versus mountainous terrain ...

sounds like you're having the same problem I was ... :wink: ; try a download manager such as http://www.leechget.net/en/ and pause when the download slows to a stop then resume it 'till it finishes (about 486kb) :roll:

Sorry, should have read your post more carefully.

Grubber - it'd be neat if you could release the source to this too, preferably under a nice licence like GPL or BSD :) I know I'd like to play around with it, I imagine others would too...

Wonder if this will run faster when randy has implemented Polymost... what's the status with that BTW?
