I was looking through the help files and found the Advance Terrain.
However when I try to use it I receive a "Memory Failure" after the program runs. I displays nothing but a black screen and then just ends afterwards.

+ Code Snippet

MAKE OBJECT TERRAIN 1
BUILD TERRAIN 1, 0
WAIT KEY
DESTROY TERRAIN 1

Do i need a special DLL to run this? I am running DarkBASIC Pro 1.062(b).

My laptop is:
Windows XP Home SP2
512 Ram
1.6 GHZ (Centrino)

This is the correct way to creat a terrain:

+ Code Snippet

LOAD IMAGE "detail.tga", 10056
rem LOAD IMAGE "texture.bmp", 10058


MAKE OBJECT TERRAIN 1     `create the terrain object
SET TERRAIN HEIGHTMAP 1,"heightmap.bmp" `set the heightmap
SET TERRAIN SCALE 1, 300, 8.6, 300  `set the scale
SET TERRAIN SPLIT 1, 16  ` split value 
SET TERRAIN TILING 1, 1  ` detail map tiling
rem SET TERRAIN LIGHT 1, 1, -0.25, 0, 1, 1, 0.78, 0.5  ` light - xdir, ydir, zdir, red, green, blue, intensity
SET TERRAIN LIGHT 1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 0.7
SET TERRAIN TEXTURE 1, 10058, 10056  ` base and detail texture
BUILD TERRAIN 1         ` finally build the terrain

remember to update the terrain during the main loop using update terrain, and if you want to destroy it use destroy terrain 1.
No special dll needen, all included in ver 6.02b.
Cheers.

But just in case you're still a bit shaky take a look at the sticky in the DLL talk board marked "Advanced Terrain DLL".
