Well, since Geocities data transfer limit is so low, i decided to post the source code.

Title:				How to use TSTerrainSceneNode


0.	Please note. 

	@ TSTerrainSceneNode was developed in Irrlicht 1.3.1.
	
	@ TSTerrainSceneNode's actual goal is importing the height map created by Earthsculptor( http://www.earthsculptor.com/ ).
	  and it has only been tested with the height maps that were genereted by Earthsculptor. Thus, to get the best result,
	  please use the height map generated by Earthsculptor.
	  
	@ Only for DirectX 9.
	

1.	To use the TSTerrainSceneNode, Irrlicht must be modified to support 7 textures.
	The unmodified Irrlicht only supports 4  textures, however TSTerrainSceneNode requires
	4 detail textures, 1 detail map texture, 1 light map texture and 1 color map texture. I think about combining 4 detail
	textures to 1, therefore make Irrlicht not be necessary to modify. However I decided to not go that far for the current version.
	
	
	
	
// Modifying Irrlicht To Make Enable Using 8 Textures ------------------------------------------------------------------ //

At SMaterial.h (Line: 310) ===============================================

From -------->

	//! Maximum number of texture an SMaterial can have.
	
	const u32 MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES = 4;

To <----------

	//! Maximum number of texture an SMaterial can have.
	/*
	const u32 MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES = 4;
	*/

	// Modified By DC
	const u32 MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES = 7;
	
==========================================================================

NOTE:	This change enables to set more than 4 textures to the scene::ISceneNode's inherited SceneNode classes

		by calling scene::ISceneNode::void setMaterialTexture(u32 textureLayer, video::ITexture* texture) method.
		


		
At S3DVertex.h(Line: 127) ================================================

From--------->

	//! First set of texture coordinates
	core::vector2d<f32> TCoords;		// Use for detail alpha

	//! Second set of texture coordinates
	core::vector2d<f32> TCoords2;		// Use for 1st texture

Add From Next Line <----

	// Added By DC
	core::vector2d<f32> TCoords3;		// Use for 2nd texture

	core::vector2d<f32> TCoords4;		// Use for 3rd texture

	core::vector2d<f32> TCoords5;		// Use for 4th texture

	core::vector2d<f32> TCoords6;		// Use for light map

	core::vector2d<f32> TCoords7;		// Use for color map

==========================================================================

NOTE:	This change enables to store more than 2 texture coordinates in S3DVertex2TCoords structure, which
		
		is the template type of SMeshBufferLightMap(CMeshBuffer.h). By storing more texture coordinates,
		
		the each detail texture's color can be blended in the Pixel Shader according to the texture coordinates.




CD3D9Driver.cpp(Line 1159) ===============================================

From--------->

case EVT_2TCOORDS:
	hr = pID3DDevice->SetFVF(D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_NORMAL | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_TEX2);
	break;

To <----------

case EVT_2TCOORDS:	// Modified By DC
	hr = pID3DDevice->SetFVF(D3DFVF_XYZ | D3DFVF_NORMAL | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_TEX7/*D3DFVF_TEX2*/);
	break;

==========================================================================

NOTE:	This change makes to set vertex type from the vertex with 2 textures to the vertex with 7 textures

		in the DirectX 9.


// End Modifying Irrlicht To Make Enable Using 8 Textures --------------------------------------------------------------- //




2. Now, Irrlicht needs to be modified for being able to create video::IImage from video::ITexture.

NOTE: This modification is posted by tonic( http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=26986&highlight=virtual+iimage%2A+createimage+iimage%2A+imagetocopy )

3. Now, modifying Irrlicht is completed and it is ready to use TSTerrainSceneNode. Thus BUILD IT.




4. To Use the TSTerrainSceneNode

	<1> Before main
	
		#include "TSTerrainSceneNode.h"
		
	<2> In main
	
		IrrlichtDevice			*irrDevice			= createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECT3D9, core::dimension2d<s32>(1024, 768));
		video::IVideoDriver		*videoDriver		= irrDevice->getVideoDriver();
		scene::ISceneManager	*sceneManager		= irrDevice->getSceneManager();
	
		.............
	
		// Create TSTerrainSceneNode
		TSTerrainSceneNode *terrain = new TSTerrainSceneNode(
			irrDevice->getLogger(), 
			sceneManager, 
			irrDevice->getTimer(), 
			"test03",							// Mesh Name
			"test03.png",						// HeightMap Image File Name
			core::dimension2d<f32>(1.0, 1.0),	// Stretch Size				:Same with ISceneManager::addTerrainMesh's parameter
			250.0f,								// Max Height				:Same with ISceneManager::addTerrainMesh's parameter
			core::dimension2d<s32>(32, 32),		// Default Vertex Block Size:Same with ISceneManager::addTerrainMesh's parameter
			9.39f, 12.85f, 7.947f, 11.478f);	// 1 ~ 4 textures scale		:Same With scene::ITerrainSceneNode::ScaleTexture
			
		// Set Material Textures In SPECIFIC ORDER
		
		terrain->setMaterialTexture(0, videoDriver->getTexture("test03_d.png"));	// Detail Map
		terrain->setMaterialTexture(1, videoDriver->getTexture("grayRock.png"));	// 1st Detail Texture
		terrain->setMaterialTexture(2, videoDriver->getTexture("hardDirt.png"));	// 2nd Detail Texture
		terrain->setMaterialTexture(3, videoDriver->getTexture("bigRockFace.png"));	// 3rd Detail Texture
		terrain->setMaterialTexture(4, videoDriver->getTexture("shortGrass.png"));	// 4th Detail Texture
		terrain->setMaterialTexture(5, videoDriver->getTexture("test03_l.png"));	// Light Map
		terrain->setMaterialTexture(6, videoDriver->getTexture("test03_c.png"));	// Color Map
		
		.............
		
		terrain->drop();
		
		.............
		
		// Usual main loop
		if(irrDevice)
		{
			while(irrDevice->run())
			{
				if (irrDevice->isWindowActive())
				{

					videoDriver->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(0, 255, 255, 255));
					
					sceneManager->drawAll();
					
					videoDriver->endScene();
				}

			}	
			
			irrDevice->drop();
		}				



5. That's it~.

That's it~ First text file is pretty important. Most of them are about

modifying Irrlicht 1.3.1. Once you read, i am pretty sure even you

are using Irrlicht 1.4+, you could get the idea how to modify that.


Ok~ That's it for now. If i implement LOD or Using more detailed textures

(EarthSculptor's license version support 8 detailed textures), then

i will update the project.

This looks really amazing.
Any chance to get it working with irr 1.4 ?

Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 1:07 am

well, my project is based on Irrlicht 1.3.1. It might be changed to

Irrlicht 1.4.1 or over, but not soon.

However, i think if you look the code, it wouldn't be that hard to convert

the TSTerrainSceneNode to be able to use with Irrlicht 1.4.1.


Sorry for now.

Well with a glancing look at your code it appears you are modifying the standard S3DVertex to include 7 textures. Instead of doing this why don't you create your own special material/vertex for the usage of 7 textures or, as BlindSide said, make texture arrays so as to keep it within the limit of 4 textures, and fully compatible with existing versions.

Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 3:35 am

Halifax. You are right. I did this way because i hadn't had much idea about

how to implement external material and vertex. Actually, TSTerrainSceneNode.h

was used to contain prototype format of its own vertex, but i erased that

before i posted TSTerrainSceneNode.

My Irrlicht has been pretty much modified, and that's why i didn't bother to

program to fully compatible with existing versions.

However, i HAVE a plan to change this. Until then, please use this as

clumsy reference. :roll:

Sorry about late reply.

doqkhanh, you are right. My mistake when i wrote the document about modifying Irrlicht. It's same as NullDriver's last two createImage methods. I attached the code below.

        \return Returns the created image.

        virtual IImage* createImage(ECOLOR_FORMAT format, IImage *imageToCopy) = 0;

        //! Creates a software image from a part of another image.
        /**

        \param pos: position of rectangle to copy.
        \param size: extents of rectangle to copy.
        \return Returns the created image.
        If you no longer need the image, you should call IImage::drop().

            const core::position2d<s32>& pos, const core::dimension2d<s32>& size) = 0; 

The last method is the one that is used in TSTerrainSceneNode.

I'll wait to see if you can get a version that you don't need to modify the engine.

i'm using irrlicht 1.4, and it isn't working.
i could do that it doesn't have any compiler error, but when i wanna launch, it dies out:

Code: Select all

            scene::IMeshBuffer* mb = this->my_mesh->getMeshBuffer(i);
			this->my_videoDriver->setMaterial(my_materials[i]);
            this->my_videoDriver->drawMeshBuffer(mb);
here.
says Access violation reading location 0x00000000.

what should i do?
could somebody give me a sample map? maybe my map is wrong (my earth sculptor is a little strange xD)

irruser, sorry about that. i mentioned that the download file is placed at geocities and they don't allow that much transfer limit. You should try to download after a day.

B@z, hmm.. seems like it failed generating meshes from heightmap. missing texture doesn't create null pointer error. Do you have proper messages about generating meshes like below in the console?

Code: Select all

Also, you should check the index of i, the value of my_mesh->getMeshBufferCount() must be equal to the generated mesh buffer number which displayed at the above console. In above console messages, there are 81(0~80) generated mesh buffers.

I hope it is helpful.

Irrlicht 1.4 had a problem with IAnimatedMeshes which are actually only IMeshes. So apply the bugfix, use the workaround to query the IMesh from the scene node first, or update to Irrlicht 1.4.1
