Trees, trees, trees again... (Read 801 times)

Is there any way I can find out (or even better list in a file) the positions of all trees in FS ?
And can I also edit tree's position? Am I able to view a tree's type or it's file or sth like that - is there maybe a useful prog?

Um, no.

Understand that most trees are auto-generated (i.e. random!). With a default density of 6,000 trees per cell, a list of all the trees in a single region would number in the millions. That would be a bit unweildy to put it mildly...

If you need to "remove trees" at any particular place (even a single tree), the only way to do so is by creating an exclusion rectangle and placing it in the ..\Scenery folder.

No, that's the bad thing I don't want to remove trees, I want to replace them.... Undecided

If they're radonly generated, there needs to be at least a file that indicates WHERE these randomly generated trees will be generated?! Huh

with three-plane trees I could make. So they look good even if you see them from above.

Ah-HAAAHH! Grin

Great minds huh. I was thinking more about that too, and figured that since you need exclude files to tell the sim where NOT to put a tree, it stands to reason that there may not be a file to tell the sim where trees are allowed. In other words, I think it can basically plant a tree anywhere no exclude file is present.

Yes, I also came to that point, but this means their positions aren't fixed at all.
And there MUST be a file or some, that say how many trees to be placed where.
Otherwise you'd have 30 trees per 5 km² in Canada (just for example) and as much in Sahara, and that can't be, I think...... Wink

Maybe some hard core programmer could write an algorithm that creates many tree positions and we just exclude all standard FS ones. The bad thing: This is SimV, not HackV or C++V Grin
