Hi, Ive been working on a project for the past while, In my terrain list on the "shape" tab there was 100 perhaps 1000`s of terrain areas.. these are created when you create terrain, and make fills..etc etc .. my project had become a little messy in terms of the look of the terrain. there was patches here and there using different textures (trying to the the right one).. each texture also had a blending texture onto it. To be honest ive no idea exactly what to do with this huge list of terrain areas, so today i decided to clean things up a little, because i want to re-texture my whole project starting from scratch.. but its very difficult doing it as it is since there is 1000s of terrain areas.
Im not sure the best way to split terrain up in terms of texutes. Im a little confused about the "split terrain" button in the materials tab in the terrain dialog. When i want to split a section of terrain off so i can apply a differnt texture and or blend texture, i first select a lasso over the part of terrain using the lasso tool in the materials tab in the terrain dialog. the terrain becomes red.. I then click the spilt button, and split terrain. in the list a new terrain is listed. (am i doing this right?)...... anyway thats basicly what ive been doing, and my terrain is a patchwork of messy experiments..etc.. I wanted to select the whole terrain (using the lasso tool in the materials tab in the terrain dialog).. so I did, and once the whole mesh turned red I clicked split into a new terrain area button. I then went to the huge list and selected everything except the new terrain area i just made. I then pressed the "-" button and everything in the list dissapeared leaving my one chunk of terrain. I now can finally apply a texture to the whole thing.. (and as i go i will re-split the terrain upto different areas when need different textures in different areas) ... anyway.. after apply this one texture to the whole of my terrain i decided to export and test the new base texture. The export took unusually long.. but seemed to export ok. I loaded up rbr and on the rxplugin info (just as your loading a btb track). this error comes up:
..
And as soon as the track loads.. the road is there and everything else but the terrain is missing.
Dose anyone know what I can do.. I cant leave my terrain the way it is with 1000`s of fills..etc etc its too difficult to apply textures.
regards

ps. will give someone my project file. I can give a before and after project.. perhaps someone can help
