TGEN - Terrain Generator

Terrain generator (form name : TGEN) There are 6 different sections.

- The Surface group     (SGRP)
- The Flora group       (FRGP)
- The Radial? group     (RGRP)
- The Environment group (EGRP)
- The -unamed- group    (MGRP)
- The Layers group      (LYRS)

SGRP - Surface Group

Where all the surfaces are declared.


It's sub-divied into multiple surface families (SFAM). Each one of them declare mutliple shaders using a surface file.

Here its declares 2 shaders: dirt.rockmud, dirt.rockmund.a1 using abstract/terrain_surface/harddirt.iff

FGRP - Flora Group

Where all the flora groups are decared using appearance files.

Each one of them decalre one flora group using multiple appearance files.

Here it declares a group named 'Granite.Rocks1' wich contains graniteslab of different sizes.


RGRP - Radial Group

I Don't know much about this one yet. (Select Radial Group properties.)

???? - Radial Child

I Don't know much about this one yet. (Select Radial child rule properties, including family name data, child weight, distance, width and height data, and swaying displacment and period data.)

EGRP - Environment Group

Declares the environement

Where all the fractal are decalred. It's sub-divied into multiple groups (MFAM). Each one of them declare a labelled fractal.

LYRS - Layers Group

Layers & Affectors

Basically the role of layers is to affect the data contained in the different families. They can contain any number of other sub-layers. Their order is important.

Trn layers.jpg

A layer deals with the families trough Affectors. There are different types of them, each one has it's own role. Can have Affector for texturing, flora, areas...

Known Affectors

Area Delimiters
BREC Boundary Rectangle Delimits a rectangle using 4 float: X1, Y1, X2, Y2 (Select rectangle boundary rule properties, including feathering distance, boundary left/right and near/far coords and local water table height, shader and sahder size.)
BCIR Boundary Circle Delimits a circle using 3 float: Xo, Yo, Radius (Select circle boundary rule properties, including feathering distance, boundary center coords, and boundary radius.)
BPOL Boundary Polygon Delimits a n-sided closed polygon area using 2 floats (Xo,Yo) for each point. (Select polygon boundary rule properties, includibng feathering distance and including local water table height, shader and shader size.)
BPLN Boundary PolyLine Delimits a n-sided line area using 2 floats (Xo,Yo) for each point and a float for the width. (Select polyline boundary rule properties, including feathering distance and width.)
FFRA Filter Fractal Delimits an area generated by a 2d fractal on the ground. (Select filter fractal rule properties incuding fractal family, low and high fractal settings and feathering distance.)


Texture / Shaders
ASCN Affector Shader Constant Affect a shader using the family_id and the shader_id this family. (Select rule shader and family and feathering parameters.)
ASCR Affector Shader Replace Replace a shader with another shader (Select rule shader replace families, including source family (the family to be replaced), destination family (the family to replace with), and feathering parameters.)
???? Filter Shader Select filter shader rule properties, including shader family.


Terrain
AHCN Affector Height Constant Raises or lowers the ground using float for delta and float(scalar?) for slope-smooting.
AHFR Affector Height Fractal Raises or lowers the ground irregulary using a fractal type from the Fractal Family.Float for delta and float(scalar?)
AHFT Affector Height Terrace Select terrace height and flat ratio values for rule.


Flora
AFSC Affector Flora Static Collidable Sets the amount of collidable flora. (Select to add/remove flora, specify flora tpe and set flora density for static collidable flora.)
AFSN Affector Flora Static Non-Collidable Sets the amount of Non-collidable flora. (Select to add/remove flora, specify flora tpe and set flora density for static non-collidable flora.)
AFDN Affector Flora Dynamic Near I don't know much about those yet. Seems like they change the near/far radial displaying. They're often coupled to the flora affectors, for instance when cleaning an area for a city. (Select to add/remove flora, specify flora type and set flora destiny for dynamic near flora.)
AFDF Affector Flora Dynamic Far (Select to add/remove flora, specify flora type and set flora destiny for dynamic far flora.)
Radials


Unknown yet
AENV Environment Select enviroment group rule properties.
ACRF Affector Color Ramp Fractal Select rule family and color ramp.
???? Filter Direction Select filter direction rule properties, including feathering distance, and min and max angle settings for filter setting to have effect.
FHGT Filter Height Select filter height rule properties, including feathering, distance, filter low height, and filter high height.
???? Filter Slope Select filter slope rule properties, including feathering distance, filter min angle, and filter max angle.
