Getting Extra Ground Textures

[mrzwach]

This isn't my tutorial, just figured I would post it because it seems useful.

Haven't messed with it yet, though seems like it could be really useful for getting more than 8 textuers and for creating terrain textures via triggers.

wow thats really useful... this gives you total control of the terrain

Yeah, the only problem is that anyone who plays NEEDS to have their effects set to Medium or higher in order to see it, and you have to make the changes in your settings outside of the game.

Still, pretty cool. Could probably just warn people in the pregame lobby or something.

Ah thats a huge drawback... :/ is there a function to check for quality? if so you could have a dialog box open and make the user change their effects.

People who play on low will not care about this as their game looks bad enough already.

Thats very true i am forced to play on all low settings and i have no problem with not being able to see it and it would still be nice for them to be in the map since if i upgrade my computer and use higher settings i could get a MUCH better experience.

Unless they actually were supposed to have an effect on gameplay, in which case that could be a serious problem.
