HeightColorMap2

The HeightColorMap2 PQSMod is a mod that colors the terrain based on altitude using user-defined landclasses and has slightly more configuration options than HeightColorMap.

Subnodes

LandClasses { } (defined below)

Property	Format	Description
blend	Decimal	The blend between the LandClasses.
minHeight	Decimal	The minimum height, or `0.0` altitude, of a LandClass.
maxHeight	Decimal	The maxmium height, or `1.0` altitude, of a LandClass.

LandClasses

The LandClasses { } wraps several LandClass { } nodes that describe an individual region’s color as defined by altitudes.

Property	Format	Description
name	Text	The name of the LandClass.
color	Color	The color to be applied to the LandClass.
altitudeStart	Decimal	The starting altitude of the LandClass. NOTE: Altitude is measured in fractions of defined height: `altitude = (height - minHeight) / (maxHeight - minHeight)`.
altitudeEnd	Decimal	The ending altitude of the LandClass. Follows same measurement unit as `altitudeStart`.
lerpToNext	Boolean	Whether to blend into the next LandClass. Highly recommended to set to true on all but the last LandClass.
