Looks sooo nice.
… great job, Dave and crew.

I can do the UI music (bum bum bum…bum!)
Only trouble is getting the oxygen mask to fit over that mustache.

Hi Guy’s and Gal’s
I’m sorry to say that the total tile count on Hawaii PR has come in at >4096Tile’s,even in 32 SEG.
(Rewriting the projected .ecw ATM,to see if I can SAVE Space\Tile Count…Hmmmmpf)
I’ll continue to hand tile the Theater out though,in hope’s that I will get some CODE support in the future….???It’s a shame that we can’t get to it ATM…BUT they may??? in the future…
Just suck’s IMHO…ATM…demer

I was often thinking about that 4096 tiles limit in the past few weeks, and how nice it would be to see
unique tiles for at least a 64 seg. terrain, so I can feel your pain, Dave.And even those of the guys who complain about the huge filesize will download it for sure, once such a theater is released.
I see so much terrain screenshots all over, where some areas are tiled so nicely and done with love,
just to notice repeating tiles pattern in another screenshot of the same terrain, which kills totally the overall impression,
due to that old 4096 tiles limit.
What I’m curious about is that AFAIK M- and L-tiles are’nt needed anymore,
and if it would really be that hard to rewrite the code to use those “resources” for increasing (tripple ???) the max. H-tiles count.Anyway, with those “Tileart- gurus” around you I’m sure Hawaii textures will look awesome beautyfull,
even with that f…ing tiles limit.Just a endusers (and a terrain- and code noob’s) point of view.
Cheers,

due to that old 4096 tiles limit.First let me commend Dave and his team for great photo real Hawaii sample.
Second…. unless there are some specific code barriers in BMS, unlocking of the limit for number of tiles is feasible and was done in other known to me version (FF). Our ITO2 had more than 256 sets and was displaying fine, same thing ported to BMS had a problem.
Third… having said this, I say that making 100% photoreal terrain is IMHO not a practical solution and for good terrains to have, there is no escape of researching and developing tools like Monster’s TE, CATE, utilities for tile transitions and ways to blend and incorporate photoreal parts into repeating tiles. FLARE is the project and research in right IMHO direction and I am very curious to see updates and eventually final result.
Fourth… if photoreal is not fully practical, perhaps making some open terrain streaming projects could be in the future or this…
Try to find other videos about real time planet.

Thank’s Guy’s for your continued support.
As stated, I am continuing the PR Hand Tiling of the theater and will complete it.
It’s just that we can not fly it ATM due to the Code restriction.
I will save it for later day’s when completed.
In the mean time I have started replacing whole block’s with Repeating Tile’s, so you may see something soon that is more Code\User Hardware friendly.Though the “Eye Candy” is lacking……demer
(P.S. BTW Ted,which .exe is that where Fred changed the Code for ITO??? 2.3.3.38 or 2.3.3.44??? Just curious??? I know he changed for the HTile’s cause he or maybe rustler sent me a “head’s up” B4 doing so) -

I think it was the latest 2.3.3.44.
-
But there was another change longer ago when your current texture set was ready for testing which solved the Fartiles issue IIRC.

Thank’s guy’s……cause ICRC ATM…I know it’s there in both Code’s…just was never an issue 'til now or ITO.

Do you (or anybody here) knows what’s the max. tile sets in FF now?
@BMS
Hmmm, …. in FF they can use more than 256 tile sets.Please, please, please support those theater devs regarding that topic.
I mean most of the terrains will be completely get new tiles and you know what a shitload of work it is to
create new terrains from scratch.So please, please, please support those theater devs ASAP.
Thank’s for listening.
Cheers,
LSP.S. did I say please, … ahh, OK I did.

Hi Fred,
Doe’s that mean up to 65,536 Tile’s are supported???
TIA,
Dave -

DaveYes. It could goe to 2 million, but I put a restriction on the number since 2 million tiles would make for a good slide show.

Thank’s M8,I’ll have to grab .44 from someone and at least build the terrain there Cringe…HAHA
That way I can see it in Falcon for now without the restriction.
Thank’s again,

DaveYou have to use utilities that support “>256 Sets” terrain. My “FF Utilities do - FFTerrainview, FFPathmaker and FFTinstall”. I am not certain that Monster’s utilities support more than 256 Sets.

If it runs in FF I’d be happy to check it there hehe.
