Re: Suggestion for a new feature

Hi, I have a wish too :) When I have a 12x12km island with lots of forests, I have to place ~100.000 bushes and trees to make the island a bit "populated". This will make 1..3 object/ 50x50m square. It is still not enough, but the WRP will be big enough... My problem is that the trees/bushes are di...

Re: Some problems im having with a new DEM

That sounds just about the right tool. The catch with Visitor is iirc that you must have the lower value under 0. What you need is an area of water which you seem to have at the borders of your map. You might want to smoothen the borders anyway since they seem to continue to the 1st cell, which is.....

Re: Some problems im having with a new DEM

The dem would have to be converted to ASE, the only format Visitor seems to use. If ofpec editors depot would be up I'd know if such a conversion program existed but now I doubt it. I've always used TGA2ASE. So if you can get a TGA out of Wilbur then you might be in luck. But man, it shouldn't be th...

Re: Some problems im having with a new DEM

It does seem to me that your lowest height is not so far from the highest. Dunno if you can't input both in wilbur for the z axis cause I have never used it. I simply take Visitor into the process where I can input those values and texture the island too.

I think it has something to do with the stuff used inside the addons... not the addons themselves...   VTE does use rather high resolution textures, but only 1024x1024 tops. I don't know why those should matter but if they do, would it be the ofp preferences setting thingy making your day miserable?

Hey. The isle textures are in the root of VTE_isles. If I might suggest contrary to SM, you should use Visitor for atleast when initially texturing your island, Visitor does a great automatic job with the rule system it has. But sometimes it's a bit overwhelming even for me.
