ground texture editing

Technically, in FS parlance, they are streams, not rivers.

 

Rivers are actual FS water made by water polys.

 

Streams are not FS water and are vector textures.

 

You can eliminate the streams by going through all of the default scenery files and removing all of the files that begin with ST, ie. ST9nnnn0.bgl.

 

If you want to keep the streams and lessen the valley effect they cause you can tweak the terrain.cfg found in the root FS9 folder.

 

At the top of that file (opened in Notepad) you should find...

 

//Stream Lines

[Texture.1024] // stream lines / unknown / perennial

Type=1

Size=4

ExcludeAutogen=1

MaskClassMap=3

Textures=RiverSU.bmp

offset=-10

 

[Texture.1025] // stream lines / unknown / non-perennial

Type=1

Size=4

ExcludeAutogen=1

MaskClassMap=3

Textures=RiverSU.bmp

offset=-10

 

The offset= line dictates how deep the stream trench is. Play with that value until you find something you like.

 

I believe the value is meters, I might be wrong about that.

I wouldn't recommend removing the .bgl files themselves, I have tried this and it causes CTD's without warnings. It's much safer to 'rem-out' the Terrain.cfg entries like this:

 

//Stream Lines

//[Texture.1024] // stream lines / unknown / perennial

//Type=1

//Size=4

//ExcludeAutogen=1

//MaskClassMap=3

//Textures=RiverSU.bmp

//offset=-10

 

I have done this with all my default streams and utility lines with great success. I have also removed all double coastlines by doing the same thing with the coastal beaches and inland lakes & river shorelines sections too.
