Terrain Development Guide

Chapter 1: Targetware Terrain Basics

Introduction

The Targetware terrain system, like most other Targetware systems, is completely open to the Player for development of new terrains or customization of existing ones. The purpose of this document is to describe the overall features and capabilities of the Targetware terrain system, as well as serve as a development resource by outlining the technical structure of the terrain system.

For the purpose of this document, "Terrain" refers to the 3D geometry of the earth's surface (real or hypothetical), plus any 2D graphics laid over that surface. Terrain objects such as buildings and gun emplacements, are not covered in this document. See the Targetware Developer's Guide for information on creating and placing Terrain Objects.
