For the convenience of the scenery developers and as an external tool, I've created a small script that reads the XML files in FGDATA/Materials/regions and plots the coverage of the currently defined regions.
- The project can be found here: https://github.com/Juanvvc/plot_regions
- The coverage files can be found here: https://github.com/Juanvvc/plot_regions ... er/regions
- The materials can be found here: https://github.com/Juanvvc/plot_regions ... /materials
As an example, this is the coverage of FGDATA/Materials/regions/caribbean.xml
As another example, this is the status of all our regional materials. As you know, the priority of the overlapping regions is as listed in FGDATA/Materials/regions/materials.xml
I've also included the link to the output in the "related content" section of the wiki, for your convenience: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Regional_texturing
During the development of this little experiment, I also detected some small bugs and things that are probably not as intended:
- There is an extra "-" sign in the lon1 parameter of https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fg ... aneiro.xml that probably prevents this file to work correctly.
- the subareas defined in brazil_mata_atlantica.xml are probably sub-optimal: https://github.com/Juanvvc/plot_regions ... ca.xml.png
- the area covered by madagascar.xml is probably slightly displaced to the west: https://github.com/Juanvvc/plot_regions ... ar.xml.png
I hope this tool is useful!
