+ How do I load textures into TG? + |
+
|
+ |
+
+ + + From the Tools menu select Options and navigate to the Packages tab. + The Add Package button can be used to load Half-Life WAD3 texture packages and the + Add Folder can be used to load .bmp, .jpg, .tga and .wal textures from a folder on + your hard drive.

+
+ hi, wanted to know u guys policy on users making commercial use of Terrain Generator, i.e. making a game + with it to sell to the public? thanx a lot
+
+
+
+ Of course, I am always happy to hear about products created by TG (commercial or otherwise) and if + you've created something you wish to share with TG's user base, drop me a line.
+
+
+
+
+ ok... i've read the readme file and this error pops up: "Runtime Error '429' ActiveX Component + can't create Object." i have directX 9.0 so thats not the problem. my screen is at 16 bit. what + should I do ?
+
+
+
+
+ i cant seem to add wads to the tg
+
+
+ As in it crashes or you just can't figure out how?
+
+
+ as in i cant figure out how
+
+ i added a wad to the wads folder but still nothign
+
+
+ also, when i try to save it (untextured) it gives me and error and i cant open the rmf,.map, or .tgm...i + used the proportions u used in your cliffs tut
+
+
+ Can Any one solve my problem?
+

+ I think it might be a problem with your security settings, Go to your Control Panel, then Administrative + Tools, then Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration to change them.
+
+
+ Terrain Generator creates " map" files.
+ In which softwares it can be imported.
+
+
+ Now, I've downloaded terrian generator 3.0 beta when i run it .the messeage is displayed.
+
+
+
+ "the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135).click ok to terminate."
+
+
+ You have the .NET framework installed right?
+
+
+ FYI: Tabbing from Iterations takes you to MAX Radius, then MAX Height in Circle Algorithms options, + thought you might wanna know.
+
+
+ Thnx for pointing that out...
+
+
+
+
+ Like Jack, i cant add textures. Maybe i'm just stupid... Here's what happens:
+ on the left, there are no selections under wad file, texture, or recent textures.
+ I copied some wad files to the config/wads folder and still nothing.
+ What do i do?
+
+ +
+ Are these Half-Life .wad files?
+
+ What happens when you try to load a folder with textures in it?
+
+
+ yes, they are hl wad files. The more i played around with it, i realized that i can load almost all the + textures i have, but halflife.wad locks up tg and windows says tg isnt responding. So i guess im fine + since i can get most textures, but if you know why i cant load halflife.wad that would help.
+
+ When i load a whole folder (say the valve folder), it doesnt load the wad files, it only loads bitmap + files (like all the files in gfx/shell).
+
+ And lastly, i was wondering if there is a limit as to how many wad files i should have loaded at + once?
+
+ Thx for all your help
+
+
+ TG wasn't really designed to handle the halflife.wad (as it’s a massive 36 megs of tex data). It can + load it; it just takes a fair bit of time. The maximum number of WAD files TG can handle is 255.
+
+ Loading a folder doesn’t load texture packages, it loads images (.bmp, .jpg, .tga and .wal are currently + supported).
+
+ You can speed up loading of large .wad files be extracting their textures to a folder. (wad2bmp can + handle this quite well).
+
+
+
+
+ Hey everyone... whenever I try to run Terrian Generator (from desktop short cut or the .exe) an + application error window pops up saying "The application failed to intilize properly (0xc0000135). + Click ok to terminate the application." I've tried reinstalling it in different places but it still + doesn't work. I don't get it... Valve Hammer editor works fine on my box but I wish I could use this + awsome prog. Hope you can help me ~RoBiL
+
+
+ Updated the FAQ with the answer.
+
+
+ you say halflife wads arenet really designed for tg, what are good wad formats to use?
+
+ im using wally's wad editor for my wads, not sure if your familiar with it, but it allows me to create + diffent types. Im fairly new to this wad business so that bit of code you have about tg wads somwhere on + this site, i dont undersand where to use it hehe.
+
+ love your editor btw, just what i was looking for, ty for taking the time to make it :D
+
+
+ TG was designed to handle WAD3 texture packages (Half-Life’s format) it just doesn’t handle large .wad + files very efficiently (.wads with more than one or two hundred textures).
+
+ The code for the .wdl (WAD Directory Listing) files is optional and is designed simply to create a + directory structure from which you can sort the contents of the .wad file in TG’s texture browser. + Because it takes a long time to load and draw a few hundred textures (should a .wad file contain that + many) the .wdl can be used to speed that up as it only needs to load and draw a portion of the textures + at any one time.
+
+ If your not a HL developer it may just be easier to leave your textures in a folder on your hard drive + and like to them in TG like that.
+
+
+ My Tools/Textures option is greyed out, i must be blind of something, cuz i know its a small thing fix, + but how do i do it.
+
+
+ Let me develop that, i cant load wads, nor select any
+
+
+ You need to first start a level before you can access the Tools->Options menu and load a .wad + file.
+
+
+ Hi
+ I cant figure out how to get the wads loaded in Terrain generator. I try'd everything but just cant get + the texures into the editor and my terrain just stays white. I cant select anything from the texure at + tools either
+
+
+ Can you describe to me in detail what you are doing? It’s kind of hard for me to guess what’s wrong + through a general ‘it doesn’t work’ statement.
+
+ Also, what type of WAD is it? TG only supports Half-Life WAD3 texture packages.
+
+
+ Well ok. Dont know how to describe it real good but i just try'd to go to the tools/texures options but + there i cant select anything of those options. When i click on browse (to search for the texures in an + wad) there dont appear any texures in the window. Do i need to load them in the program somehow? I use + the normal hl wads from the game. Where can i get the wad3 texure packages then? Or do i need to make + them myself?
+
+
+ All Half-Life WADs are really WAD3 files. I've updated the FAQ with the answer.

+ Hi, thanks for the report, will look into it.
+
+ Can you tell me three things?
+ 1) Which build are you using?
+ 2) What graphics card do you have?
+ 3) What options are you using in the new form?
+
+
+ i don't know much about computers but i use TG 3.00 BETA
+ i don't know how to find my graphics card
+ the same as in the turtorial:
+ 48
+ 48
+ 160
+
+
+
+ i forgot i use winxp professional edition
+
+
+ Hey
+ Im doing the cliff II tutorial, the one about texturing, and it told me to select "textures" + and then "Set Texture Layers" out of the "Tools" menu. For some reason, however, + when i do this, "Set Texture Layers" is grayed out. What am i doing wrong?
+
+ Thanks,
+ Psycho
+
+
+ PS: This may be a little off subject, Nem, but are you from Vancouver Washington or Vancouver British + Columbia?
+
+ Just Curious
+
+
+ You need to first have some textures loaded. You can do this from the 'Tools' menu in the 'Options' form + under the 'Packages' tab.
+
+ I'm from Vancouver B.C.
+
+
+
+ ~Nem
+
+
+ Cool, thanks Nem. Can you recommend any good Wads that I should use with the Terrain Generator? I would + appreciate it.
+
+
Its hard to find good outdoor textures, but as I remember some of the Day of + Defeat wads had pretty good ones. If all else fails there is always the wadfather.
+
+
when I launch the program I get an fatal error:
CLR error + 80004005
the program will now terminate.....
+
+ I've installed the .net runtimes.
+
+
+
+ CLR (Common Language Runtime) is the .NET runtime and error 80004005 is the COM (Component Object Model) + HRESULT for E_FAIL which is an unspecified error.
+
+ I'm guessing you don't ever see a form and if that is the case it probably is a problem with your .NET + setup seeing as TG doesn't use any COM objects directly.
+
+
+ I've downloaded the Swedish version of the .net runtime, Is that a problem?
+ Maybe i should reinstall it...
+
+
+
+
+ I doubt it is because you have the Swedish version of the runtime and I'm not sure if reinstalling would + help. It could be a simple registry thing or it could be a more complicated conflict.
+
+
+
+
+ I've downloaded the english version and i got the same error again. Is it something wrong with the + computer? I have Windows XPHome.
+
+
+
+ ok.. a little dos window just shows up when i try to run it..
+ then it closes and nothing happens
+ and i have.net framework...
+
+
+ Never heard of anyone with that type of problem before. It does sound like a problem with your .NET + installation though.
+
+ +
+ Could you make a tutorial on how to make moving objects like a car,a heli,a boat,or something like + that?
+
+
+ Um, no. That has nothing to do with TG and I'm sure there are all kinds of tutorials already out there + that will show you how.
+
+
+ I dont know how to use the terrain I have created in TG in Valve Hammer Editor. It seems when I save the + files that they can only be saved as .tgm. I also dont know if I have to use the Batch Compiler to + compile the file, I tried but it comes up with many errors (I used Zoners and Mapsters from the + specifications menu). In short: I wanna know how to use TG terrain I created, into Valve Hammer Editor. +
+

whenever i open up TG i get this error message:
unable to load + (nativegl.dll)
+
+ wht should i do?
+
+
+ Do you have the nativegl.dll in the same directory as TG's executable?
+

+
+
+ Hi,
+ I'm trying to use the terrain i've created in my own game (i'm just an amateur, it's for my uni course). + But i i'd like convert the map (textures and all) into either a DirectX .x file or a 3D Studio Max .3ds + File.
+
+ Do you know a way i could go around this? By exporting to any one of the available formats and then + perhaps converting to the format i need? Or do you have any advice on any other porgrams i could use to + do this?
+
+ Thanks for the help
+
+ P.S great prog btw
+
+
DarkWolf:
It is in the folder you installed TG + into.
Timmy:
TG can export to a text file which, if you look at it, shouldn't be + to hard to import into your program or convert to another file format. A tutorial detailing TG's .tgm + file format can also be found here.
+
+
+ other then that you clud export to map then import it to hammer and export it to dxf and import it to + 3dsmax but this wóuld loos the texture information. then thers
+ or you could try milkshape witch is able to converte many formats.
+ including dx and 3ds

+
+ Hi. I'm using version 3.0. It seems that TG will only generate altitudes in multiples of 256, even with + smoothing on, resulting in a very blocky looking terrain (somewhat reminiscent of SimCity 2000). Is + there some setting I can change to fix that? Is it supposed to be that way? Is it a bug? I'd appreciate + the help...
+
+
From the Terrain menu select Snap To Grid then select a grid you + want to use. You can disable snapping from there too.

+
+ Hi Nem, I am afraid I too have problems with the Wads loading. I created a new terrain went to Packages + and tried to load halflife.wad. It crashed.It created a temp folder in TG. Then I tried to navigate to + TG-config-wads but it does not display anything in the folder to load. Your help appreciated .
