Surface tile priority in config folder.

[Notebook]

I'm starting with surface tiles for Woomera Airfield, South Australia, and I have Artlav's Woomera Hi-res set installed:-
[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3293"]Woomera Hi-Res tiles[/ame]

This is my .cfg file

BASE-V2.0
Name = Woomera Airfield
Location = +136.81047 -31.146572
Size = 2000
BEGIN_OBJECTLIST
LPAD2
POS 0 0 0
SCALE 0 0 0
TEX Lpad02
NAV 132.35
END
END_OBJECTLIST
BEGIN_SURFTILELIST
5 6226 -1418 1
9 99622 -22681 1
END_SURFTILELIST

The two .dds files are in the Texture2 folder.


The problem is, unless Artlav's "Woomera_region.cfg" is removed or disabled(renamed .bak) I don't see the surface tiles. I assume Artlav's takes priority?

Anyone any ideas?

Many thanks N..

You mean two different bases define overlapping surface tiles? I never considered that possibility, and I am afraid the result is undefined - whichever base is processed last will have its tiles on top (surface tiles are rendered without z-buffer, so it doesn't matter if one set is raised a bit above the other).

Surface tiles associated with bases have always been a bit of a hack. Hopefully they will eventually become obsolete.

Well, I'm not sure whats going on!
Artlav's "Woomera_region.cfg" file dosen't contain a "Base" but it does have a location lat/long defined. I did define a base in my "Woomera_Airfield.cfg" file.

I have "Woomera.cfg, Woomera_airfield.cfg, and Woomera_region.cfg" in that order in my base/cfg folder.
So, the last overlapped surface tiles get priority?

Its no big problem, I'll disable Artlav's till I get this finished, then see what happens, just curious to see if anyone had had it before.

Many thanks Martins, N.
