I've had a look at the relevant section of the re-organized material.xml file (data/Materials/base/town-buildings.xml), and the "zone_maison" models are no-longer present. I think I simply removed them when I added the terrain masking as they were no-longer required. If random objects/buildings are floating above the surface, then that's a bug in the random object/building code. The random buildings are specifically created with a "basement" extending 10m below the x-y plane so they can be placed on a slope without looking odd. Some of the random objects do not have such a "basement", so may have one bottom edge overhanging on steep ground. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
