Re: Update, October 2012
Heh. I think that's what it was. Tatu gave it to me several months ago and I'm assuming that's what it was. it says PLAINS 5-3.max. It lacks textures iirc. Ah, it's not the heightmap. It's everything else:
As treat, there is a version of PLAINS among the models, uncompleted, no terrain, but a lot of objects placed around. It's also a max file.

Re: Update, October 2012
There is no textures or terrain for the Plains file other than the textures you can find among the models themself or grab from the levels.
However, wierd as it is, many Trespasser levels got an texture in the SWP for a Plaingrass not used in the level at all which actually fits to one of the grass model in that file.

It's likely one of the Developers might still have the actual displacement map used in that MAX scene somewhere.

Several levels has it, atleast the build 96 levels. I got the info thanks to TresEd while extracting the level info with it.
That's wierd. Can't find it in the SWP, and I think I did find the texture itself. I have to take a look at some point.

Re: Update, October 2012
Hey guys managed to open the Plains file up in a viewer:
The big squiggly things are stream beds apparently. The flat blue splotches are some kind of sand texture. Strangely, it's only the basic plant and texture layout. I don't see the Dam anywhere. The large blue square is some kind Box01 iirc. the white patches are a mix of sand and grass.

Re: Update, October 2012
The stream beds appear to match the ones in IJ better than the ones in IT...

Re: Update, October 2012
It may have to do with the direction I have it facing.
Btw, just a little experiment regarding the speculated Mayan Face location in JR:
I showed this in another thread but I'm not sure if you guys saw it or not. The beach textures are there because they were the closest substitute to the mayan face area back texture (that was thought to be a waterfall but wasn't)

Re: Update, October 2012
No, it means they moved stuff around when finishing IT after dropping PL... the streambeds in IT don't match the ones in IJ as they should, but these ones match properly with the ones in IJ.glitchhunter09 wrote:It may have to do with the direction I have it facing.
