Enclosed below is a new version of my landscape program i am working on.
This time, the landscape scrolls under the camera as the landscape moves about in real co-ordinates.
This way i can have objects placed anywhere from the origin to infinty
Hopefully this will help create the illusion that the landscape isnt mearly repeating.

However, in converting to this new techique my camera no longer follows the landscape nicely.

Can anyone help?



-----------------

"tileset.bmp" is a 8*8 tile set of grass textures which are assigned by height. (dont worry about this for now)

"lake1.bmp" is just a water texture.

Please?

My end gool is to have an open source, infinte landscape engine that would be usefull for many different games. I think i got the basic techique worked out now.
The source code is above, I can upload the *.bmp files too if you want them.

get ground height is relative to matrix, not to 0,0,0

Also, to be more precise, remember grond height is a float, not an integer

Yes, that works much better, enclosed below is the latest code.
(with accelerating movement and turning, and gravity)

I noticed theres a slight jerkyness when going up hill, any idea whats causing this?

I first thought it was my "randomize matrix 1,25" command that caused small distortions in the tarrian.
But i REMed it out and its still jerky.

Is it to do with my camera methods?
Or is it a sync thingy?

Try code below. I had to change it a fair bit to make it smooth. Basically you have to use floats, not integers.

ah hu! Thanks, yes that works brillently

Silky smooth.

After a bit of testing I found i dont need the Matrix positions (X,NewX) as floats.
The formular i use to work out NewX (and thus X), only produces intergers
