Hello everyone,

i am kinda new to Ogre. I have read the Ogre book and have done some test applications along with making my own skin for CEGUI.

I would like to go one step further and crate a very basic Terrain editor which i want to use for a little RTS i would like to do in the end.

Now i have tried the Editable Terrain Manager and i really liked it cause it was really easy to get into and write my own little demo app.

Well my problem with ETM was the size of the terrain so i came to try PLSM.

And now i find myself utterly lost on even where to start.

I downloaded the code and made it compile. The demo app starts but has like tons of bugs.

What i thought is that maybe creating my own little terrain and loading it in and go from there with the terrain editing.

So after all this text here my question :D

Is there any working tutorial on how to create my own little map for PLSM and load it into my app? And maybe something for the basics of deformation and/or terrain painting?

There are so many config files i dont even know where to start.

Thx a lot in advance for any hints you guys could share.

Maybe if some people know only bits and peaces we could collect the information and create a working tutorial for other people to get into PLSM more easiely in the future.
