Announcing Tile Integrator 1.0 (Tigor1).
If you have installed Twaelti's new Hi Res tiles and love the new look but wish you could get rid of those pesky demarcation lines and degraded distant view in the mountains, the fields, and the ocean, Tigor1 is the solution for you. If you don't like yellow/brown snowcaps, dark blue/green rings around the base of snowcaps or square blocks of water in the Han river that sometimes result from installing the new Hi Res tiles, Tigor1 is for you. If you would like to just grab Twaelti's Hi Res tile set zips and throw them in a folder (without taking the time to unzip them) and have everything automatically installed, Tigor1 is for you.


Tile Integrator 1.0 has been designed to not only automatically install, but integrate all or some of the new Hi Res tiles (including Twaelti's new, updated city.zip) and old F4 stock tiles together into a nicely integrated landscape that you would be proud to strafe anytime. The only required Hi Res tile sets are Twaelti's forest.zip and new sea.zip. Twaelti's other Hi Res tile sets can be added if you choose. You can also add Widowmaker's TerrainTexturePatch but the Tigor beta test team does not recommend it if you are trying to achieve a seamless terrain environment. Tile Integrator 1.0 rebuilds, sizes, colorizes and integrates F4 stock and Twaelti's Hi Res tiles to produce the best integrated Falcon 4.0 terrain available today.


Here are some pictures of the results using Twaelti's current Hi Res tile set and Tigor1. I have drawn arrows on some to point out the typical demarcation line issues. I had to draw arrows because they have all but been eliminated in most cases. Also, the normal degradation of view beyond the demarcation line, that people have been experiencing when mixing the old stock F4 tiles and the Twaelti's new Hi Res tiles have been greatly reduced.

Its only a matter of time!!!


I invite you to try Tile Integrator 1.0 (Tigor1) and see for yourself. I hope you won't be disappointed that you tried it out. Here are a couple of quotes from some members of the Tigor beta testing team:

"Stiletto2 has done an outstanding job in creating a very effective tile integrator, Tigor1, that makes it easy for any user to install Twaelti's great new high resolution texture tiles in one easy step. Stiletto2 has successfully removed all the pain and suffering by the user and, together with the excellent work of Twaelti brings the default scenery of Falcon 4.0 to a new level of detail and realism.

"Trouble-free integration of all hi-res textures and tiles, with no demarcation and palette issues!"

You will find complete documentation in the release kit that includes fully detailed installation instructions, detailed notes on the few known graphic anomalies that still exist with "Tigorized" terrain and copious notes on the methodology used to accomplish the impressive result.

My thanks to Widowmaker who started this whole thing many, many months ago, Twaelti who created a modern-day F4 terrain graphics revival with his excellent Hi Res textures and to WxMan1 who developed an automated installation process and continues today to forge new ground with his tile reconstruction techniques. Since the above people were the ones that really inspired me to try some different things, I have documented in detail my approach so that it might be of use to all those either interested in or actively developing additional add-ons to improve the terrain of Falcon 4.0.

A very special thanks to Mikewmac and Mark Turner for their beta testing and overall support.
