You won't. The terrain has undergone 3 revisions since then. Though the general principles do still apply.

Old create on the fly code is old, but should by and large still be accurate function addNav() { %newMesh = new NavMesh(theNavMesh) { saveIntermediates = "0"; buildThreaded = "1"; build = "0"; fileName = "levels/temp/nav.nm"; //<--------------------- file save...

DetourCrowd will take a rewrite. Sourcecode for the navmesh system interop can be found https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/tree/development/Engine/source/navigation https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/blob/development/Engine/source/navigation/navMesh.cpp#L859-L1097 for example. Done a bit o...

Strange, I just built a custom one myself last night on the mini... _EngineMethodTrampoline would suggest this would be a source<->script interop binding. One of https://github.com/Azaezel/Torque3D/commit/8ca53c771f8b8e25c5cb37fe74632ffb20fba4dc or https://github.com/Azaezel/Torque3D/commit/8501f2e6...

Bounds determin FOV culling, so if for instance you have a mesh which wll during the course of it's animation exeed the first-frame bounds detection algorithm, you'll need to extend to to the farthest set of possible corners to avoid flickering at the edges of the screen and the like.

So if everyone here believes that being able to choose the older blending behavior and greyscale detail really adds something to T3D 4.0 moving forward, then absolutely keep it in. If its left in for any other reason. . . please just trash it. I'm not trying to start an argument. Just adding my two...

Right so. The differences in general design for an end user according to the specs discussed thusfar would be shifting the 'this does not effect the base color result' from a 128 greyscale middle to a 0 alpha. This has two effects: 1) Removes the 'capacity' to darken a given basetex via subtracting ...

PNG gets alpha from erasing/fading the image, but you can't fit a greyscale (heightMap) into it. Can you? Sure can, to demonstrate using a pre-existing texture in-engine: http://imgur.com/a/uM625 Reason the image wasn't displaying the rest in most viewers, applications, or editors in the second sho...

@JeffR Detail Normal Texture, Alpha Channel: Your height information. Won't this create horrible artifacts if you can't use DDS DXT5_NM? Or huge file sizes? What else except DDS has an alpha channel? PNG has transparency but not actual alpha. <EDIT> I like the idea of full colour diffuseDetailMap w...
