Hi together

Is it possible to init new pages dynamic from buffer? I like to load my page, modify it and save it to some file.

Thanks for your answer, hoping the question isn't discussed already.

I don't really understand your question but if as you say you want to "load my page, modify it and save it to some file" then it's already done for you in the way of the .modif files that are generated whenever you deform the terrain. You can also turn this feature off if required.

thanks for your answer.
well your are right my question wasn't exactly enough.
So let's try anew:
Is it possible to generate a terrain in realtime without loading anything? So I will calculate the whole world by myself and save it afterwards to some files?

Hmmm, you probably could do it, plsm2 doesnt really care where the data comes from as long as its the right format and with the right filenames. I assume you would just generate the image files which represent the pages at runtime and save them out then load them back in.

If you're just looking for an editor though, the easiest thing would probably be to load in a flat terrain and alter that. Whether you're doing it by hand or through some sort of algorithm it could all be done with brushes (or through a direct setheight function i believe is now working).

I havent really thought about this before so forgive me if my answer is somewhat underdevloped.
