Can I reset terrain?
« on: May 18, 2012, 02:03:33 pm »
I experimented for the first time adding a runway in the general location of KPAE (Paine Field).

Strangly, miles away, just off shore to the southwest, the land elevation jumped up to form a narrow wall about 500 feet high and about the same amount long - in line with the runway. I deleted the runway but the terrain elevation did not return to normal (although the the terrain in the immediate vicinity of the runway DID return to normal).

Is there a way to reset it or should I just reload everything?

C:\Program Files\Outerra\Anteworld\cache    <---- this should be the directory to the cache. Just to make sure, rename it instead of deleting, then try starting the game. It should reset everything, shouldn't it ?

Yeah, but that's not helpful if you have a lot of stuff you want to keep.

You should be looking for the cache name and all things for an accurate remove. It'd be quite complicated. Since it's an alpha/beta, don't get too much attached to the things you do ;)
