Thanks Acetone, please add to your tutorial, how to share a specific area. I do know how to export a model, but havent found how to share a scenery...
hoping that openstreetmap data will be added to import roads information I'm newbie using outerra sry...
Will do but since it's simple, I will give you a small how to first
- Make a backup of your cache folder in your Outerra user folder (C:/yourname/Outerra)
- Go to your Outerra user folder, open eng.cfg. Set the value for "debug_keys =" to "true"
- Open Outerra, go to the location where the roads and buildings you want to share are.
- Press Alt+i. Some informations will be displayed on the ground, you are looking at the coordinates, wich will look like "+x/47/6F/E7/00". This is exactly where the location cache data is stored in your cache folder.
- Explore your scenery to see what cache files are needed. Generally you will not need to go deeper than "+x/47/6F" for example.
- Go to your cache folder and copy it somewhere else. Delete all the folders and files that are not a part of the data you are using (the logic path you identified above)
Now you have isolated the cache data of your scenery. Don't forget to identify precisely where the scenery is if you share your data, because it will overwrite anything other users may have done in this area if they install it. It's currently not possible to merge two cache datasets.
To share it? Simply create an .otx file!
- Make sure your data is organised in the same logic path than in your Outerra user folder: cache/earth/object/+x/etc.
- Use 7zip or any other compressing software to zip this package. Rename the pack to scenery_name.otx (default is scenery_name.zip) before compressing
Voilà! You have a ready to share single package of your scenery. Just remember to make a backup of your cache data before testing it!
