Landscape Studio

We had this problem before. You need to extract the files from the newly created LSL file and add them back using wgtlib. There seems to be something wrong with the code inside Lstudio which creates a library file from scratch.

Where is landscape Studio for 2.6 ? Did it get taken off the web?
You can still download LStudio for PR 2.6 from here:

Thanks.

Can the terrain h1.pcx be expanded to a larger area ie like 256x256 etc instead of 128x128? What needs to be modified in code to do this, increase the terrain_size varible ?

Are the terrains created by Lstudio different from those for the space demo, or can the heightfields be adjusted in Lstudio with objects added.

One problem I am facing with LS is the popping up of hills and trees suddenly as you traverse. If I increase the visibility then the frame rate drops drastically. This is reasonable cause the no.of.poly increase. It would be nice if we can make LOD's on the Landscape. Like after a particular distance from the view treat 4 tiles as 1 and still further 16/32 as one and so on. Just a thought
I guess we could try fixing that with fog also as an interim solution ?

The Lstudio file format is different than the .prl, are there docs on how these are familar? I would like to run files made with this through the terrain demo if possible.

Thanks

The landscape studio files are just wgtlibrary files. So are the prl files. Should be able to figure out from there how to create a lsl file from contents in the prl file. Never tried it but should be possible.
What about going from .lsl to .prl though ?
.PRL and .LSL are the same file format. They are data files made with the WGTLIB utility. You cannot put a .LSL inside a .PRL or vice versa.

To see the contents of one of the files just run wgtlib file.ext

I guess I am confused then, I can not make files for the terrain demo with LS then ? Or I can make them but I need to edit the parts of the lsl I need for the prl using wgtlib ? Or the terrain demo can load the lsl files, and this is in the manual someplace, and I need to look for it, some API load lsl function ?
