New terrain source code

I see the sky box (and some green thing floating?) but no terrain?

Any ideas?

I downloaded the demo (first things first ) but I don't see any terrain, just skybox... I think controls work because my position changes if the stats are right, but I cannot make terrain appear :S

AP, you offering to write some tuts ? ;-)

Did any of you guys download the source and build from that ?

OK, I looked at it. It ran OK and I saw the terrain and skybox. You have some bugs in your code, however. It seems that you have a function float CTerrain::GetHeight(int i, int j); and if you move the camera away from the terrain an a negative index is passed into that function which causes an invalid index into your m_pData[] array. Anyway, the result (as you probably have already surmised) is a crash.
I would strongly recommend a more thorough testing of your code before you release next time. You cannot possibly test every possible scenerio in any complex piece of software, but in this case a few minutes of testing would have found this problem. Also you really need to protect yourself from invalid array indexing.
Anyway, other then that it seems like a good start.

That page has no links on it anywhere, which makes it slightly difficult to find the downloads section.

EDIT: Actually, I found it pretty quickly once I started guessing filenames. Maybe this'll save some other people the trouble.

It worked OK once I had done this...
