Sorry Goku, I lost that. Happy to see that you are still active on that, even if of course real life issues have priority.

Painted terrain works perfectly in OR:

but in msts looks bad:

What's surprising, RE tells me that texture information is wrong instead of crashing as in most cases.

Does anyone knows material specification in T files ? Now I'm just cloning existing material and replacing texture path.

Is this terrain texturing worked in MSTS? I usually see textured planes (transfers?) placed slightly above the terrain in MSTS routes, also the terrain textures does not look as good as on your screenshots.

What's possible with painted terrain. Everything was created in this editor.

AMAZING!!!! Need testers for this?

Also drop me a line if you need help with grade crossing entries for the interactives. I "know a thing or two" about those.

Could you share what the fix was? I'm curious why MSTS and OR were behaving differently here.

Inside T file is a list of materials: terrain_shader array. There are two types of terrain shaders: detail terrain and alpha terrain.
Every material must have detail and alpha shader in this order:

terrain_shader array (8 items):
texture1 detail
texture2 detail
texture3 detail
texture4 detail
texture1 alpha
texture2 alpha
texture3 alpha
texture4 alpha

OR thinks that inside this above array are 8 different materials but there are only 4. MSTS splits the array for two.
Fix was easy. I just split the array as MSTS does it. And join on save.

I do not know what is Aplha Terrain for.

Hi Goku,
What program do you use to open a *.T file?
thanks,
vince
btw . . .nice work! :sign_rockon: I see slow but steady progress.
Remember; It's a hobby not a race. . . get the terrain part working reliably and you've made my day.

HEX editor. I like this http://sourceforge.n...ects/hexplorer/ Nice Matrix like colours.

And of course I have my own code :)
