I was looking on Kazaa for the Fileplanet video(whos isn't???), and found this program called Terragen v0.8.68. I think it's the terrain editor for Planetside, which it says it in the program information.

So i say, "Sweeet, i foudn the terrain editor!!!"

or so i thought.

When i tried to install it, the normal window came up asking, "Would you like to install Terragen v0.8.68?" I clicked Next-> and it went through a download, REALLY FAST, like 1 second worth of downlaod time, and then it clsoed, not saying, "You have sucessfully installed Terragen v0.8.68." or something like that. I'm not even sure if it downloaded, and it might even be a fake.....that's what i'm thinking....

I already sacnned it with norton anti-virus and it ain't a virus...so waht now? i can't get it to work, any suggestions?

Terragen sounds familiar, but it is DEFINATELY NOT a terrain editor for Planetside. Would be worthless even if it was, as the maps are only on the servers.

i'm not sure, because it says right in the file information(where you right-click it and go to properties, then click the version tab) "Planetsdie Map Generator"

HEy, it's not liek the maps just came outta no where...

Terragen is used in T2 mapping, tho only for skys, i tryed making a terrain for fun and i gota pretty nice pic outa it....Tho I dunno what the actual reason for land making is...

I'd be surprised if PlanetSide used it for terrains.....tho not the skys cause they look easly made by Terragen.

I doubt Terragen was used for T2. (It's not even a complete work yet) but it is indeed pretty cool. I discovered this little gem last year. It generates a landscape according to the user's modifications of climat, altitude, snow pattern, etc. It makes some very cool wallpaper even if you have no clue wtf you're doing. I recommend it to anybody with a good PC and a wanting to make nice wallpapers. :)

A few examples :

Terragen has been around forever man. It's a great tool. I used it all the time, mapping for Serious Sam. In fact, the Serious Sam dev team used it for ALL of their exterior terrain, including shadowmaps.

If I am not mistaken, terragen was heavily used with later halflife and counterstrike maps, also in dod and ns.


I was always under the belief that terragen was a tool developed entirely for worldcraft (now hammer) and quark.

Spnsr2, there will never be anything that you can download that will allow you to create, add, texture, or mod any part of Planetside. So even if you see a file that says that its any part of planetside, it will be a fake...or even a virus. And to let you know that when you post something in kazza you have total control over what its called...so remember that for the next download, and consider yourself lucky that it wasnt a virus that shut you down for good.

alot of the modern trojans like optix which i have messed around with a bit will either not detect as a virus and/or kill your virus scan on request of the "hacker" Becareful of .exe's from kazaa. very careful.
