Distribution Image

File Location ./maps/
File Format PNG, TGA
Colour Depth 8bpp
Channels RGBA
Resolution Any, recommended powers of two, will be stretched over the terrain.

The RGBA Channels are individual greyscale distribution maps which define which detail textures to splat onto the ground. The intensity of the splatted textures is multipled by the pixel values for the corresponding channels.

Detail Image

File Location ./maps/
File Format PNG, TGA
Colour Depth 8bpp
Channels RGBA
Resolution Any, recommended powers of two, will be stretched over the terrain.

Each Channel represents a seperate greyscale image. The ground colour is multiplied by the pixel values of the channel. The intensity of the effect is also controlled per channel using the texMults variables, low numbers = less effect.
