Title: Terrain Defects Post here
Post by: KelvinNZ on May 05, 2012, 07:08:05 am
I thought I would post some screenshots of affected areas of the SRTM data here. So far I have a few from New Zealand. I hope the coordinates can be made out.

Yeah, I suppose if you had turrets you could place them on all four hills.

I noticed that sort of thing in Papau\New Guinea. Odd how the map is blurry where that happens.. Almost like some HEAVY people paid to have that area stricken from the records... Someone perhaps working for S.H.E.I.L.D. or a drug cartel

I guess that's an area with "voids" in the source data (not visible to the satellite in any of passes), that got replaced by interpolated data. Different kinds of interpolation in both cases. Too bad the interpolation happens outside of OT - in OT it would be fractal interpolated, much more natural.

Not sure if i'm posting in the right topic, but looks like Nevada is full of grass and trees insted of a Desert, and Arizona even had some ice mountains. o_o

There is only one biome as of now. Pine trees and grass. The devs are working on biomes (I hope) as we speak. Desert, Jungle, Plains, Deep Forrest, Savannah, etc, etc..

Quite a bit of work. I know Blue-Marbel data will also be integrated to match colors of the trees/ground with actual satellite photo's. Then we have to worry about seasons.

Lots to do.. LOTS!!

Awesome, that is one hell of a work to do, God bless the devs!

Also, I hope they manage to made all kind of rocks presents too. There are some marvelous place with rocks that look pretty "empty" in OT due to no Rock veing rendered. One example is this little beach hidden by the rocks: http://goo.gl/maps/RiUrP (http://goo.gl/maps/RiUrP)

This shows across the entire area, left is grassland, right is trees. Pretty extreme change. It affects a large region of north-west Africa.

Hmm, looks as if the tree mask from Middle-Earth got somehow applied there.

Lake Baikal and a lot of the Northern Asian lakes are grass and not water, don't know if that just hasn't been implemented yet

Some of those pics make me wonder if there's a Pie Island.  ;)

Also, another island... but I won't say it haha.

This one made me want some fractal-shaped islands!

... the most northern icy islands of russia have a little strange mesh doe - but the data was probably just made to fit up places, witch are much problems to scan whyte satellites due to bad weather and lot of ice, the "lighted" effect are actual waves in small water areas, the chess pattern tend to make the waves some disco effects there ... fading white areas of the sea between them and mainland are probably clouds gotten into the data - kind of strange to be implemented as height data points (that is, that they didnt filter them out). : )

Found an abomination.

Hello! Check please, anyone have the same problem in the region of the Sitka airport. Not loaded surface. This has been observed for a long time. How I can fix this? :'(

Thank you!
