| − | + | '''Default parameters''' (used if planet cfg is empty of them): | |
| + | * MaxPolyCount - Maximum polygon count for ground mesh. The bigger the nicer, but slower. (default=8000, gives FPS=100 here) | ||
| + | * Altlimit - Altitude of camera above ground for drawing cut-off. | ||
| + | * prit - Time step size for second cycle in us. Try lowering this, if you got big performance problems. | ||
| + | * sect - Time step size for second cycle in us. Try lowering this, if you got big performance problems. | ||
| + | * txtres - Mesh texture resolution. The higher, the more squarely the texture will look, the lower, the grayer the landscape will look. | ||
| − | + | '''Textures''' can be found in visosad\orulex\tex (planet_name.BMP, 1024x1024, 4 thru 32bit, fractalisible) | |
| − | |||
| − | + | '''Planets configuration''' can be found in visosad\orulex\planet_name.cfg | |
| − | + | The parameters are same as above, but for planet only. Additional: | |
| + | * seed=15777 The Number, that defines the planet. | ||
| + | * radius=1.738e6 Radius of mesh. Better be near radius of planet. | ||
| + | * texture - texture name. | ||

| + | * sbcrater(scl) - defines surface base craters with scl height. | ||
| + | * perlin(xd,yd,zd,band,scale) - perlin noise ground function | ||

| + | * curv(n,f,x1,y1,x2,y2,...,x(n-1)/2,y(n-1)/2) - Input/Output curve for f by points of xi,yi, lagrange interpolated. | ||
| + | * sealevel(level) -sphere level cutoff function | ||
| + | * +, -, --, *, /, sin, cos, max2, max3, min2, min3 - arithmetics. | ||
| + | * ax,ay,az - world coordinates. | ||

| − | + | Heightmap definition. Can be several of them. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | All fields have fixed widths - 20|10|10|10|10|8|1 | |
| − | + | First is filename relative to visosad\orulex\hmap, then longitude of start, longitude of end, latitude of start, latitude of end, vertical scale, function | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Where function is: | |
| − | + | * 0 - addition (height-map) | |
| + | * 1 - multiplication (mask-map). | ||
| + | * 2 - replacation (plain height-map) | ||
| + | Heightmap file is a grayscale BMP with black as 0 and white as vertical scale altitude. 8bit BMP's seems to give errors. | ||
