Hello.

Im new to DBPRO and to game programming. But Im not new to programming having produced VB, and C progs.

My Questions:
First I need to find some code tutorials for Multiscape and its like.

`Load visual object (has all layers, optimised polys and the rest) [fileName$,memblock,mesh,object,startTex,scale#]. Memblock and mesh are deleted after use
loadLandscape("Trainer.mts",1,1,1,1,100.0)
`Load collision object (has one layer, all polys, no texture) [fileName$,memblock,mesh,object,scale#]. Memblock and mesh are deleted after use
loadLandscapeMesh("Trainer.mts",1,1,2,100.0)

The above code, could someone explain it to me. I have created a 100x100 map in multiscape. How and why do I need to adjust the above code to fit my map????

You don't need to adjust anything. The filename is the landscape filename (as you have worked out), the memblock mesh and object parameters simply specify which memblock mesh and object to use. The object is the only one that remains after the function has completed. The startTex is the starting number of the images used. So say the landscape has 3 textures for 3 layers, if you specify 4 for the startTex then the textures will be stored in image numbers 4,5 and 6. The scale is simply the scale of the landscape when it is imported.

Im still quiet confused. If Im correct, I need do nothing but change the filename. When i do this i get a black screen. I might be on the edge of understanding here.

I found the problem. I had to edit my trainer.mts file and change the paths to the textures.

New Problem! I now see my map on screen. But, I have only one texture visible while in DBPRO. When I view it in Multiscape, I see my three textures. Texture 3 is missing in DBPRO and there are holes in the map where they belong.
