Well done kimmo! That's looking good!

Entirely made in L3DT?.. Excellent!...

The "design map" part of L3DT looks quite powerful... I'll have to have a go with it sometime...

To import into Visitor you can "export as" .PNG and make a matching .pbl file - then import into Visitor just like in Sgt Ace's Tutorial... or you can export from L3DT as an ".XYZ" file - that will also import directly into Visitor... (no .pbl file required for XYZ import)

Hi Kimmo.

Right click on heightfield tab -> export layer

There you should be able to see everything needed for exporting the filetype, name, directory etc.

Remember to backup and save before importing anything. Check your visitor file parameters, sizes and everything after import. If it chances after import (with XYZ at least) you might need to check the resize button when exporting as I have to do.

Edit:

Importing it in visitor is just as simple. Just project -> import terrain from xyz (or from picture but xyz is much much faster)

*edit* - Dampet beat me to it! - and much more detailed too!

You export the "Heightfield" in .png or .xyz as your... well... Heightfield... that's your actual Terrain

You can also sometimes make use of the L3DT "Attributes" layer - and its matching "Texture" layer - if you've made them - you can export them as .png's and they can form a good basis for your "Mask_lco" and "Sat_lco" files

HEIGHTFIELD :

TEXTURE:

<script src='http://img16.imageshack.us/shareable/?i=texturen.png&p=tl' type='text/javascript'></script><noscript></noscript>

export the AM (Attributes Map) layer - just like you did with the texture...

the two should match... but the Attributes mask just has simple single colours for each texture-type...

I have saved AM as Mask_Ico.png and I must now create the file layer.cfg??? I can use all the colors or only that of the MAPLEGGEND

You can use any color, just specify it right. As I can see you have 4 colors to specify. Use one of tutorials to complete that, I recommend Sgt. Ace's.

ok now try thanks
