• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Wow! So you created a new type of vector? I didn't know that was possible. If more can be created, it seems like they could be used in places where more precision is desired than the LCF would otherwise allow. I don't suppose it supports autogen objects does it?

not really, just another layer in the terrain mosaic tiles. It does not support autogen objects though maybe something could be done with the vectordetaillinings but I have no clue??

Which island, Anholt?

its the mainland peninsula .
 
Ok, here's an interesting thought. This could really open things up for detailed shallows and reefs. SeaWater.fx in shaders30 has a BaseOpacity value that can be set between 1.0 and 0.0 to make the water transparent. If an open ocean landclass were created at a flat neutral grayscale for everywhere with deep water, these vectors could be used to create white sandy bottoms, rocky areas, reefs or sandbars as appropriate near the coasts. The colors of cfs3h2o.dds would probably need to be adjusted as well.

certainly has the potential to create an amazing seascape. One problem to overcome is that the landclasses are a bit large and inaccurate as you mentioned above. You normally have dry-land landclasses bleeding into the ocean for quite a ways or the opposite.
