FU3 Outer Terrain Tag File Information

File Description:
These Excel spreadsheets contain information about the contents of the outer terrain's 3 tag files: - outtaga.tag - outtagb.tag - outtagc.tag The file outer_tag_offsets.xls contains a complete list of the file offsets of each file within the three tag files, i.e. the starting position (as byte number) of the level 0, level 2, level 5 .geo files and corresponding gtl files within each tag file. The last three columns of each worksheet contain the relevant information: filename, file position, and file size. The file outer_tag_x&y.xls lists all the L0 .geo megatiles within each tag file and provides the position of each megatile within the OT region as an X and Y co-ordinate. Columns K, T, U and V provide the relevant information. These spreadsheets may be of use to anyone wishing to develop the outer terrain region.

New Outer Terrain Textures (Beta version)

File Description:
New outer terrain textures for FU3. Zip contents are as follows: GENTILES.TAG: 19 new textures, a total of 754 individual .tga files containing the base texture tiles, variation tiles and transition tiles. This is a BETA version and does not contain any water transitions. Copy and paste this file into your Flight3\gentiles folder. This file also includes 7 extra base textures: the intention is to expand the set at some point so that we have a full set of 26, the maximum number permitted by FU3. At the moment, no variation or transition tiles are provided for these 7 additional textures, and as no rules are provided for them they do not yet appear in the OT. RULES.TXT: a rules file for the 19 new textures. Even if you use the GTL tiles provided you MUST copy and paste this file into your \Flight3\gentiles folder as it also defines the texture types, rotation and mapping. GTLs.ZIP: 2460 GTL tiles as created by the new RULES.TXT file. Generating your own GTL tiles using the RULES.TXT file is likely to take an hour. You might prefer to copy and paste the GTL tiles provided into your \Flight3\outterr folder instead.

Anwar Al Farkadain Planetary System Version 3.0

File Description:
This package contains a full install of the Anwar Al Farkadain Planetary System made for Orbiter build 031105. This version restores the water reflections in two of the system planets lost in the old version Awar when upgrading to the new Orbiter build. Previous version of Anwar is not required. Physically, the star is nearly (but not quite) sunlike, a class F (in the middle of the range, F5). Although the star information is factual everything else about this addon is fictional. I wanted a real star with a habitable zone to base my system on. Then I made up some realistic looking planets and moons to explore. More about this add-on can be found in Anwar.html in the Doc folder.

FU3 Outer Terrain GTL Tile Editor v2.0

Images related to this file:

• FU3_Outer_Terrain_GTL_Tile_Editor_v20_1.png

File Description:
This spreadsheet allows you to view, edit and save changes to the outer terrain's GTL tiles. Tiles are loaded into a 256x256 grid and the 13 default terrain textures are represented by cell background colours, i.e. the Mesa texture is represented by a reddish-brown background colour. The controls for loading and saving tiles are deliberately located on a separate worksheet. When loading and saving tiles I recommend that you do NOT select the main FU3 GTL Editor worksheet until a message box informs you that the load/save has finished. Otherwise, load/saves times (approx. 30 seconds for an average tile) will increase dramatically if you watch the tile while it is being populated or saved. This 2.0 version also allows you to load a tile's terrain elevation. This is useful because the rules-based approach to modifying the OT was based on altitude constraints and it helps to be able to view the elevation (on the same scale as the tile itself) when modifying the terrain. However, in order to load the elevation you must first load the corresponding GTL tile. There is no provision to modify or save the elevation, because we already have Andre's excellent tools for that. A complete map of the outer terrain's 2296 GTL files (plus Andre's 164 tile extension to the north) is provided in a separate worksheet. This includes a search facility you can use to identify tiles based on FU3 world co-ordinates.

Outer Terrain GTL Grid Structure Map v2.0

Images related to this file:

• Outer_Terrain_GTL_Grid_Structure_Map_v20_1.png

File Description:
This version of my GTL grid structure map includes Andre's new outer terrain area north of Seattle and adds a search facility, which enables you to search for a tile using FU3 world co-ordinates. To find out the world co-ordinates of any OT area simply open Fled, set the top-down view to the latitude/longitude of the area you're interested in and click the latitude/longitude figures that appear in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. The latitude/longitude figures will disappear and be replaced by FU3 world co-ordinates as easting and northing values. Enter these values into my FU3 GTL Map, click the button and the spreadsheet will map these co-ordinates to the correct tile and return the tile name. If you don't know the latitude/longitude of the area you're interested in then you can always obtain this from within the game itself. Just start a flight in the area you're interested in and press Ctrl-z at any time to enter Zoar mode. This will pause the game and display the current latitude/longitude in the top left hand corner of the screen.
