Example for addTerrainMesh and change height/colors

[knightoflight]

Hi community,
i made another example: How to use the addTerrainMesh-command
and how to change Height and colors.
For the example in this case we dont display a "normal" terrain, instead we display a Mandelbrot set.

if you like please send me a mail :-)

hmm, sounds interessting, i'll download it

Looks very good (movement.exe) but terrible source! Most cpp ides make it possible to spread your code over more then one source file

Thanks for the interesting examples. I modified one function though so you can set the alpha of the terrain. (you have to set EMT_TRANSPARENT_VERTEX_ALPHA for the material but I assume you already knew that)

Code: Select all

void setColor(IAnimatedMesh* terrain, int x, int z, s32 Alpha, s32 Red, s32 Green, s32 Blue)
{
	buffer = terrain->getMesh(0)->getMeshBuffer(0);
	v = (S3DVertex*)buffer->getVertices();

	v[x+z*mapHeight].Color.set(Alpha,Red,Green,Blue);
}

@Romul: Thank you very much! Yes in the other test below the addTerrainMesh-Example i used the Alphavalue and know it, but your third function belongs good to the other two.

@Peter: You mean the "texturelayer-test with alphablending", not the "addTerrainMesh-Example with Mandelbrot". Yes, the code is a little spagetti, thats cause i called it only a "test" not an "example" ;-)

oh, i looked into madelbrot, thats cool, too, but _much_ better source

No problem. I hope it benefits the community because I know ive learned alot from your examples already.
Im also more interested in terrain than BSP maps etc because I think random generation is the way to go in games, well atleast my game/s.

Anyway, I hope to post something usefull too eventually. Keep up the good work!
