ok. so i have my first level laid out, i have all the models to place in the level... all that is fine and nifty. the problem i have run into, my level map is fairly large (5x5 qauds). i cant figure out how to place the qauds together correctly. i tried experimenting with different 0,0,0 coords but they all just seem to load into the same spot... so i have the 3 qauds im playing with, all load into the same spot.. anyone know how to find the coords for qaud placement? im kinda new to ted, but its a ezmode program to lay out terrain, just hate this qaud placement stuff.

Never mind... I figured it out. 500 units per qaud.

The darkest minds, are often the brightest.

When I was using T.Ed I parsed the epr file that it generates, which allows you to use T.Ed as a world editor (of sorts) instead of just a terrain editor. Using hard coded offsets for the terrain chunks is a bad idea, if you decide to change the terrain scale for different maps or whatever, you'll have to edit your code and recompile, where as parsing the EPR which contains the offsets needed allows you to edit the terrain and loaded it straight up.

Here's a link to the EPR loader from the D-Grafix site, you can see how it's parsed and used.
