@tnlogy by chance I’ve been tinkering around with your old terrain generator
Terrain = class()
function Terrain:init(x)
local d,s = 2000,20
self.d, self.s = d,s
self.m = mesh()
for y=-s,s do
for x=-s,s do
self.m:addRect(x*d,y*d,d,d)
end
end
self.m.texture = readImage("Cargo Bot:Crate Yellow 1")
self.m.shader = S
self.m:setColors(
color(119, 60, 49, 61))
end
function Terrain:draw(pos)
self.m.shader.light = vec3(math.cos(ElapsedTime),
math.sin(ElapsedTime),1):normalize()
pos =vec2(pos.x, pos.z)
local step = self.d*(self.s+.5)*2
local o = vec2(math.floor(pos.x/step+.5),
-math.floor(pos.y/step+.5))
-- drawing a 3x3 grid centered at camera position
-- for y=-1,1 do --tnology's original values
-- for x=-1,1 do
for y=-5, 5 do --boosting these to 5 makes it go much farther in the distance
for x=-5, 5 do
pushMatrix()
local u,v = (o.x+x)*step,(o.y+y)*step
translate(u,v,0)
self.m.shader.offset = vec2(u,v)
self.m:draw()
popMatrix()
end
end
end

In your original project you had it auto-scrolling under the viewer, generating new pieces as needed. Do you think the same process you use here would be possible in Craft?
