Hey, I have posted about looking for a random map genrator, but I have come to the conclusion that the terrain command has limited useages.. What Im needing to know now is should I use the MESH command, and create my own terrain engine, because I need Texture Mapping, for different levels of ground. If someone could post a code snipet on doing a selfmade terrain using meshes I would be greatful thanks.. Someone please help!!

There are various examples in the code archives i.e. here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=362 just add water and CameraProjMode cam,2 for the isometric view. You should tweak the movement, though. It's always a good idea to check the archives first. Regards, Dirk

I ran that example, all it does for me is create back screen with a 4 in the upper left hand corner. Am I doing something wrong?

yes. you didn't wait long enough. but there are several other terrain examples in the code archives. you can also check sswift's terrain system.

That example is set to dark. At the bottom of the code you will find the following line: WritePixel x,y,(Rand(64)+32)*66049,TextureBuffer(tex) Try replacing it with this line: WritePixel x,y,(Rand(120)+120) Shl 8,TextureBuffer(tex) That will be much brighter.

Hi, I just happened to have written this an hour or so before reading this post. . . :-) http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1081
