The root region shouldn't have too many issues. When you're modifying the root region you should get updates relatively quickly. If you're modifying one of the 'fake' region terrains, there can sometimes be a noticeable delay in the results.<br>
<br><br>You presume correctly. Using certain tools on the edges of the regions (this includes fake regions) can sometimes cause irreparable pits and spikes that spread across the terrain as you modify it. Smooth, is one that I can think of that does that if you're not careful. <br>
<br><br>Yes, it can handle megaregions. There's a tutorial for megaregions on the web searchable with google.<br><br>The key is to split up the large terrain into smaller chunks in L3DT. Then load the individual chunks into the regions using the console commands<br>
<br>change region "region name" <br>terrain load <filename01><br>change region "region name" <br>terrain load <filename10><br>... etc..<br><br>-Teravus<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I am on 0.7.0.2 but have seen similar behavior for several releases. The standard landscaping tools seem really rough. For instance, attempting to lower a small are I selected caused adjacent areas to go all spiky. Applying flat to them seemed to make the ground do this weird bubbly dance. I have tried various strength and size settings to little avail. What I am trying to do is to create a pretty much round 30 m or so pool on the land. The edges don't have to be perfect as I have a set of round marble surrounding steps. Pretty when it works. It isn't so bad to do this in SL. But I am having a devil of a time getting the landscaping just right in OpenSim. Are there better brushes or some tricks of the trade short of building a terrain map in Photoshop or something? I also use a Space Navigator in my setup. Don't know if that would make landscaping act worse or not. Doesn't seem to make much difference when I turn it off.<br>
