Tutorial (unofficial) Terrain Creation Guide For Beginners

So i think i solved it idk whatever ive done has worked further. but now im at the part now where i have the lidar asc files in the editor but when where you say to go to Sanp Landscape To Track and press CTRL a on the lidar then press Use Selected Asset it doesnt do anything. Also the lidar file has gone dark but still accessible

 

just need to keep the dtm_1m.

 

when you've selected the use selected asset if you scroll to the top you should have it showing there.

 

there isnt anything for me i dont have to scroll up/down in the Route uild mode tab i can see all the options without needing to scroll. also seting local date time doesnt work and its always dark/sky night. this is all i have on my screen when i CTRL a all the lidar and press use seleted assets

 

Did you In the Console Command window, type in: TS2.dbg.setlocaldatetime 12 0 0 and press enter?

oh my it was because i kept putting 12 00, that extra space is so strange for a time lol

 

ok so i may of found it i was just blind. however when press "apply lidar to selected landscape proxy" it makes the brown floor disapear. i then realised that i was no where near the route its way off to the left and when i teleport over this is what i got.
Ive somewhat solved it and now have a couple lidars placed 1" by 1 manually" i have 195 to do total (i think) how to i get it to do all at once

 

Do you mean import Lidar? Klick on one of the Lidar and than Ctrl + A, so you get all of the Lidar's in it

 

ive imported the lidar but when i was doing ctrl+a the floor that i previosly got it disapears. i thought it didnt work when i presed use selected (but its the 195 array elements in the top left which i found). however i then noticed that where i start in the editor is no where near the start of the route (where i put the coordinates to) so when i telemported to it i have to press the srtm.hgt, create landscape (in the build mode) then right click and press "Apply Lidar data to selected Landscape Proxys" 1 by 1 manually, is the reason the srtm doesnt work properly becuase i have 1 srtm.hgt for a 40mile route?. doing all 195 singular is gone take a while

 

so ive done it yay onto track laying which looks really hard with the terrian moving up and down every where and how do you remove the bright colour from the selection node when laying track. anyway i took a break and came back and now i have this big hole in my lidar and trying to re create the landscape doesnt work

 

this happened to me you have to find the landscape section file that's missing in your content folder then re import it from the files you have saved to hard drive. To find the file you are missing, go into the centre of the area that's missing and the file name will be shown as the one you are above in the picture now Level: ST_x1_yo in the bottom right of your screen

 

it says the extension is uknown when i try to import it back in, according to the editor the one missing is still in the files folder within the editor but i did notice the "main" map file is missing and when i try to import that back in it also says uknown extension. they both said failed unkown extension "umap"

 

try going into the folder where you have tsw editor installed, not on my computer atm. search for your plugins folder and then the route content folder the tile that's missing should be in there. As for the map file that's a bug with the editor. but you can open up your route using the load recent level option

 

Well rip to my route (not like i would of ever finished it becuase i cant use blender anyway but still) but yh i was using the correct folder i think and also i cant get back to that map either as it dont exist no more apperently

 

check in your route plugin folder in windows explorer, if you created a Map folder in your route folder your route map file should be in there. if it is then just import it back into the editor

 

as for using blender I've never used it before. Udemy has some good courses for it. I've just not had the time to start working through it yet though. There's more than likely a load of blender stuff on YouTube aswell.

 

so by the route folder i presume you mean this one (as its the only one i have from following the guide) and when i try to reimport it gives the an error. il probably just end up satrting the editor side of things all over again tbf then just reimport all the idar and srtm is easy
also now when i try to apply lidar it raises it up and is flaeven on areas where i already applied lidar, does this mean i have to reimport my lidar data too?

 

is the lidar raised up and flat?

 

yh that i solved, apperntly the editor keeps un-selecting the lidar as an asset so i had to keep using the selct asset on all lidar again when re booting the editor. As for the main route i had issues with ive got the map folders back somehow (its duped the main route folder under a differnt name though).

So my last problem before i move onto track etc is on my small back up route theres 2 squares that wont create a landscap and the worst part is there the 2 most important squares (the 2 end to end stations) and i have the tiles in the editor

 

the only thing I can think has happened with that is that when selecting the areas to download data you never covered the missing areas or there's no lidar data
available for them.
