VTP Method2 Polygons

[rhumbaflappy 113]

Hi all.Here's some code for a VTP Method2 polygon. A simple oval shape in the desert that I made into a park. The poly is mesh clinging, and the etsxture is assigned to Layer 4, so just about everthing else will go over it ( including a watermask ). Drawbacks? VTPm2 polygons cannot be 'feathered' by an alpha channel mask, or blended into the default scenery ( as far as I can tell ). Also, these textured polys are just like repetitive landclass tiles, in that you cannot control orientation or positon.Notice the autogen is assigned automatically to the VTPm2 polygonAmazing what a little irrigation can do. :)include TDFMacros.incinclude TDFHeaders.inc; N31* 25.86' E26* 2.97'; VTPm2Poly1BGLHeader 33, 29, 28, 24, TerrainHeaderStart, VTPHeader VTPHeader label word VTPFileHeader 256, VTPIndexStart, TextureStart, VTPEndVTPStart label word datamark_v0 label word VTPDataArea 1, 1, 0, 0 VTPLayer 4, 0 VTPNumTexturesInLayer 1, 0 VTPTextureId 0, 0 VTPPolyCount 1, 0 VTPPolyMethod2 12, 0, 0 VTPPointXY2 8747, 8900 VTPPointXY2 8779, 8908 VTPPointXY2 8797, 8925 VTPPointXY2 8800, 8950 VTPPointXY2 8793, 8974 VTPPointXY2 8775, 8986 VTPPointXY2 8753, 8991 VTPPointXY2 8724, 8985 VTPPointXY2 8708, 8969 VTPPointXY2 8700, 8950 VTPPointXY2 8709, 8920 VTPPointXY2 8730, 8905 datamark_v1 label word; --------------------------------------------------------------------Cellv_439_166 EQU VTPCellID 0, 439, 166 VTPIndexStart label word VTPIndexHeader 1, VTPIndexData, VTPStart VTPIndexData label word VTPIndexEntry Cellv_439_166, VTPStart, datamark_v0, datamark_v1; --------------------------------------------------------------------TextureStart label word VTPTextureListHeader 1, TextureIndexStart, TextureDataStart, TextureDataEndTextureIndexStart label word VTPTextureListEntry TextureDataStart, texturemark_0, texturemark_1TextureDataStart label word texturemark_0 label word VTPTextureName "1202" ; Forest Park VTPTextureType 1, 0, 0, 4 texturemark_1 label wordTextureDataEnd label word; --------------------------------------------------------------------VTPEnd label wordThe texture number, "1202" was found in 'terraintextures.cfg', in the main FS2002 folder. VTPm2s can also be assigned to custom textures, and can show seasons, with the proper coding, and effects.

We (NL2000 Scenery Team) have also been working on this type of polygons. I have placed an example here that looks like the one above, but it has two polygons in it, each with another texture assigned to it.Now we get this working on this small scale, we are building it into are own tool (VE2) and then we hope to have the entire country filled with thousands of polygons (cities, forests, lakes, etc) with a simple mouse click :).Arno
