[. . . ] THE LIBRARY CREATOR TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION . 10 LIBRARY ASSETS AND THEIR PROPERTIES. 18 -1- INTRODUCTION Now, you have total control over your Course ArchitectTM libraries. The Library Creator lets you expand the asset libraries of EA SPORTS Course Architect in new directions. [. . . ] Applying them to a course demands attention, too. One of the pleasures of playing golf is the experience of a striking view over beautiful terrain. Keep in mind, though, that a stunning view from a tee box may also be experienced up close when tee shots go awry. Be sure to thoroughly test and examine any created texture from a variety of perspectives in Course Architect. Data Format(s) . Minimum Dimensions Maximum Dimensions Maximum Number Color Depth BMP or . TGA 2x2 1024x1024 255 total terrain and object textures 8, 15, 16, 24, or 32 bits per pixel -11- TERRAIN TEXTURE PROPERTIES In the Terrain Texture Properties pop-up, you can define the type, basic properties, description and collisions of the texture. To create an identifying description of the texture for use in Course Architect, enter a description in the textbox. To set the collision properties, click TERRAIN COLLISIONS. For more information, Terrain Collisions below. To accept the changes to the properties, click OK. To cancel and exit, click CANCEL. Terrain Collisions In the Terrain Collisions pop-up, you can set the effects on the ball when it collides with this texture. From the Ball Behavior Coefficients drop-down, you can select the basic physical properties of a type of surface that you may find on the golf course. For example, if the selected texture appears to be wood chips, then you can select WOODCHIPS from the drop-down to apply similar properties. To create different collision properties for the texture, enter new coefficients in the textboxes. To change the icon that indicates the lie of any ball that lands on the texture, click CHANGE. In the dialog box, select the lie . TGA to apply to the texture. To apply a different sound for the collision with the texture, select a sound from the drop-down list. To change the text that is displayed for the ball's lie in the game, enter a new phrase in the Game Lie textbox. To cancel and return to the Terrain Texture Properties screen, click CANCEL. -12- OBJECT TEXTURES While the geometry of an object determines its overall size and shape, the textures associated with the object make it come to life. In The Library Creator, you can apply different textures to individual objects, give physical properties to those textures, and associate sounds with impact on the textures. NOTE: When you add a 3D object, the textures associated with it are also added. However, when you remove the 3D object from your library, the textures remain until you choose to remove them. Minimum Dimensions Maximum Dimensions Maximum Number Color Depth BMP or . TGA 2x2 1024 x 1024 255 total terrain and object textures 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits per pixel OBJECT TEXTURE PROPERTIES To create an identifying description of the texture for use in Course Architect, enter a description in the textbox. To set the collision properties, click COLLISION PROPERTIES. For more information, Object Textures Collisions below. [. . . ] Any data file that can be used to build a course in Course Architect. The file parameters must fit specific requirements. Course assets include terrain textures, 3D objects, object textures, panoramas and sounds.
