I’m starting new thread just to not make messages that much further down for everyone else.

So your terrain tool appears to be working somewhat. So it is possible world bounds. Select your world entity on the list on the lift, then look at its object properties. Send screenshot of that for me.

Try changing the green max 500 number, that may be your max height.
@brittle sedge can you explain what is height max
high stirrup
That was the wrong Jake but I see everything 😁
I think the minimums are wrong too
Height max is the height of your terrain. So if the highest elevation is 500m and the height max is 400m then everything above 400m won't work (I think)

Lmao I clicked your name sorry other guy

Do you know how to make back up daves of your map? Essentially copy pasting your main project folder somewhere else.
high stirrup
But I think the minimum X and Z should be 0 and the max should be the size of the terrain in meters
barren path
you think
We’re both not home able to reference our maps, maybe someone else will chime in. But before messing with those numbers close out and make back up save. Then you can try to mess with height world bounds changes saferr.
high stirrup
you think
Yeah most things here are "I think" because very little is explained. Half the issues are bugs. And I don't have the time to mess around with things as much anymore
gaunt canyon
i am trying to experiment and understand it
but like even if, the terrain tool only raises the ground in some random lines
i used a wide tool and it follows completely different lines that i do not know what are
its like it is trying to tell me something
barren path
So in my experience you want to do terrain work a little bit closer than you are. It also may be that your computer is processing the changes as your moving, and the slight lag changes your direction slightly. You also want to mess with the strength, falloff, using the same tool but with smooth setting. I tend to use the flatten tool, then smooth tool. But my terrain is a lot different and I’m no expect on terrain editing.
Sculpt will continue to raise (or lower using ctrl or alt I forget) until you release the button. Where as flatter will only go to that level. And smooth tool will continue to smooth
gaunt canyon
this is completely borked to the next level
the sculpt tool definitely works only in some places
barren path
So it won’t work directly on roads, only around roads if you have “adjust height map on the road entity selected. It sounds like you have a bounds issue.
gaunt canyon
i did not draw these lines
thats what i am saying
i used sculpt tool with with high radius and it is literally drawing these lines by it self.
the missed spaces are the ones i cannot draw it
makes no sense
high stirrup
Is your heightmap 2m per pixel?
gaunt canyon
yes
that is probably why i can perfectly draw only at 25% of the map
and the numbers make no difference what so ever.
barren path
https://youtu.be/ra23aMjT8Lg?si=Zzhp4VbCZ-ma_n8x Is height cord 0,0,0
gaunt canyon
tried everything.
terrain is set to 0,0,0
yeah i can draw only at a quater of the map.
which would basically be 1:1 heightmap
but i use 2m per pixel
high stirrup
The world bounds need to be changed in notepad and then reopened in world editor.
barren path
We’ll figure this out Jake lmao. How about what layer is your terrain entity in. Did you rename the default layer, or move terrain out of default layer.
gaunt canyon
i was holding left mouse button the whole time at start just to clarify what in the fuck is happening.
barren path
Use the flatten tool and try that. I think I know your issue.
Disregard you are sorry on phone
barren path
I notice you world is not named. Have you been doing this without save the world and going right to terrain editing?
gaunt canyon
yes i play hardcore version of arma reforger tool
obviously i save.
Its just called unnamed at this point
barren path
Do you have a back up of your save made? And this may be a dumb question based on on what you’ve said so far, but you haven’t sculpted your terrain at all? It’s just default imported height map? Only asking because it looks good if it is basic import.
gaunt canyon
I am very skilled in World Machine, which is a software that is capable to export basically into anything, i used create masks to paint the textures and the whole heightmap.
i have not used the sculpt tool until now since i wanna create roads. and do a bit of manual touches.
barren path
https://youtu.be/lHqWX_YwVxo?si=bd_gjQ8azHE7YpV6 I know your issue isn’t invisible wall, but this is how you’d edit world bounds. I would try that to eliminate that as possible issue.
barren path
I am very skilled in World Machine, which is a software that is capable to expor...
Very skilled is a very accurate statement. Awesome job!
gaunt canyon
barren path
Not sure what I’m looking at, never messed with that other program. But looks cool though
gaunt canyon
i can also use real life data to literally upscale these maps.
but this map is fictional completely generated.
left one are nodes, those are basically the rules of the map, it goes from left to right.
barren path
Hm interesting. It looks good.
gaunt canyon
it is basically spagheti
but as i said it allows me to export into anything, it can already export to tiles if i needed it,
custom resolution.
but it is awesome that enfusion does tiling by it self.
barren path
The other weird thing in your video is there’s like a square Shadow that follows you. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that.The black square gotta be something with your camera I’m sure, but it looked like the edge of that shadow caused the terrain tool to have an edge on where it raised.
gaunt canyon
I am quite sure that is how lods work in this system
its a lod box around the camera
within that stuff loads more nicely.
barren path
Do not rename the default layer, make a new layer, then move everything except the world and terrain into that layer. Save, quit and reload.
gaunt canyon
can you not just make it the other way around
barren path
From what I understand default layer needs to stay. It loads before all others. So you want world and terrain to load first. Right click on your unammed world, new layer. Name it anything you want. Make sure EVERYTHING in that list your are moving is collapsed, meaning you don’t see any children, only the parents. Then move everything. I’ll link a video if you need example.
gaunt canyon
tbh it would be fokin easier if i could at least paint everywhere WITHIN THE FUCKING BOUNDS
barren path
There’s chance it’s not bounds issue, try what I just mentioned. You definitely have a weird issue. Just trying to help with process of elimination by what’s commonly mentioned in here.
gaunt canyon
We ain't fixing this
i see the issue
the bounds btw did absolutely nothing btw
and when i paint
i click this magical button called rebuild height map
it literally spreads out what i painted into the whole map.
high stirrup
the bounds btw did absolutely nothing btw
What do you mean it did nothing? The black box didn't change? (View > World Bounds is how you turn it on)
gaunt canyon
as you can see i managed to hit it pin point
it was not the bounds issue
this has something to do with the fact that i am running 2meters per pixel
high stirrup
most people are running 2m/px (for the heightmap)
barren path
I’m almost out of ideas. You tried the layer move?
gaunt canyon
yes
i am running 8192 grid size
i believe these were my setting
I believe it's time to wrap this one up and send it to devs to f around and find out.

Have you tried on a different project. Loading up a terrain with no imported height map.
gaunt canyon
i cant even import the height map into a new project without it crashing
tried a test map and it works
not to mention the bound map is no where near close that
and i can still sculpt it
so
i tried redoing the terrain in the project i always worked
did it completely same as in the new project
and for some reason new project sculpting works but in this one it still does not.
i mean
what
barren path
So you are able to do a brand new project with a flat terrain, no imported height, and can sculpt. When you import your generated height map it crashes?
gaunt canyon
i figured that crash problem
i completely deleted the terrain in my actual project
i do step by step importing of my own height map
the new project has functional sculpting but the project i am working in has not.
what in the hell is so different in my project that the sculpting does not work.
barren path
Okay interesting. So you make whole new project, import your height map and satmap, it works fine on a brand new project. On old one still doesn’t. Is that right?
gaunt canyon
yes
barren path
Did you do a bunch of object pacing in old map?
gaunt canyon
tf is that
barren path
Did you place a bunch of prefabs and objects in your map
barren path
Holding
gaunt canyon
i saved the my project with the newly imported height map
restarted
and apperently it works now
also the bounds box just changed again
i mean
what in the fuck is this yo.
i can paint anywhere
indigo delta
i have the same problem with sculpting
when i hover over the ground it doesnt show a reticle
it says Material:none
gaunt canyon
when i hover over the ground it doesnt show a reticle
this happens to me too on flat terrain that i just tested right now
gaunt canyon
reducing camera far plane into 2000 allowed the reticle to show up
indigo delta
did the edges days ago and it works fine
gaunt canyon
barren path
So are both of yours not fixed??
gaunt canyon
So are both of yours not fixed??
nah i found out while testing right now that the reticle for doing scultping does not show
indigo delta
i set it higher cause iwant to actually see what im doing furhter away than 5 feet
gaunt canyon
and its caused by far plane.
Thought that was not my issue with not being able to do scultping.
i am getting ADHD by this
barren path
#enfusion_terrain message have you ever looked through this?
gaunt canyon
way too much text
indigo delta
way too much text
there are no videos out there honestly. you will have to read words to know stuff
most vids are outdated
gaunt canyon
As a project reality dev, i spent enough time reading 2008 tutorials.
barren path
That tutorial has slot of good information. I’ve been trying to do videos with information from that tutorial, things I’ve learned, and things I’ve read here. But that tutorial is worth a read in case you missed something it says. He tries to keep it up to date too.
gaunt canyon
alright so i am trying step by step
and figuring out what caused this shit to stop working
indigo delta
ive only got 20 hours in tools too bro
its a learning curve for sure
atlas has been the only helpful thing so far
gaunt canyon
maybe it doesnt like the 16k satellite map
barren path
Mine is 16x16 didn’t have an issue
What are you using as a reference to making the map? What video or what tutorial?
gaunt canyon
just my skills
i basically kidna reverse engineered this whole shit
surely it cannot be worse than working in bf2 editor
so thats what the draw roads is for.
it makes sense now
barren path
No offense, but that may be your issue. I’m all for reverse engineering, it’s how I learn most of time. However, the engine has been out only like 3years, still buggy, and a lot of people that have spent a lot of time dealing with the bugs. That’s point behind that tutorial. PianoMan has great videos I believe one about importing sat image in a 4 part series. You could skip to where he starts with loading infusion on new project. If you were a dev you understand some things need to be specific and everyone’s machines handles bugs differently. Such as the default layer I mentioned earlier. So I would highly recommend tutorials to just get the stuff working instead of bashing your had this early on.
gaunt canyon
tbh there should be not an issue, with this.
all i did was do PPE effects
terrain
import height map
make sure 0,0,0
import satellite map
set all the presets in world
atmosphere etc
thats all i did
there is no reason for it not to work.
then i started working on terrain painting, so doing objects was the last.
barren path
I agree, but unfortunately it isn’t when on non imported height map you didn’t have issue. So something is happening. I only asked about objects earlier because there’s a way that you can copy layers with objects into another project. So if Project 1 is “corrupted” but project 2 with the height map and sat image you want is working just fine, you can still transfer the items over. They won’t be in perfect place most likely, but very close if not spot on.
gaunt canyon
So i rebuild everything imported back all the terrain masks
and it works
all it needed was deleting the terrain and completely reimporting it.
lovely.
barren path
Aside from time, how far back did this set you?
I mean time trying to figure it out.
gaunt canyon
it didnt set me back at all
it just took the whole day
cause i just completely reimported everything with the same settings
all i did was deleting the terrain folder.
and do it from scratch
i have everything saved as textures
barren path
So deleted the terrain entity, reimported it, and it now lets you sculpt like you want to?
gaunt canyon
yep
barren path
Okay good to hear. Guess cold of tried that earlier because you hadn’t don’t any sculpting. Best of luck with everything else.
