Unscheduled features

This page lists the features that are intended to be included in L3DT eventually, but have not yet been committed to any particular release.

• 3D editor.
• Algorithm for stitching two or more maps together seamlessly.
• Context sensitive help, linking to the on-line or off-line tutorial¹⁾.
• Create a wizard dialog for batch engine.
• Algorithm parameters 'tweak' interface.
• 'Blended' display in texture-combining wizard²⁾.
• Customisable contour lines³⁾.
• Copy image to clipboard option.
• Restore defaults for schemes.ini.

• Network rendering.
• Flowing water (rivers, waterfalls, rapids, etc.)
• Roads, rail, fences, etc.
• Design heightfield by drawing contours.
• Generate design map from user-designed 'primitives map' (e.g. plains, hills, mountains, etc).
• Export 'shadow height map' option.
• Vector/polygon based area definition for overlays and other operations⁴⁾.
• Latitude-based climate variation (eg poles-to-tropics).
• Preview option that generates only specific parts of the heightfield⁵⁾.
• Strata-masking of erosion.
• Radiosity mapping (e.g. this).
• Make water plane calc switch sea/lake (depending on edge conditions.)

• Plain-text file option in texture splatting (as opposed to the XML file).

• Re-optimise water flooding routine.
