accessing vegetation and climatic data from script
« on: October 06, 2019, 02:43:00 am »
I wondered if it is posible to call from javascript or c++ the vegatation and climatic data that ingame is possible to get via the shift+TAB key (attached image).
Would be eventually useful to create a local custom soundscape.

hmm..thinking again about this, the vegetation data is probably not that useful for generating different sounds for different locations....I'll rather use a city database to generate local traffic sounds plus airport database to generate some airport sounds locally. Any suggestion which is a good way to use a database in outerra ? Free databases I found are between 1 Mbyte and 8 Mbyte. I thought I can include them somehow in the JS file as an array. Any better idea accessible to us modders ?

There are so many possibilities in outerra once you get a grasp on the API  ! !   
I try lots of ideas -  pushing them forward all  ...Those that arrive fastest to a useable result I will release..leaving the others to mature meanwhile. Some results come along the way unexpectedly  =D
Thanks josem75  ^-^
