Why does the World Admin not have this? I cannot make the terrain all '0'!
Grrr!

Ok, I think that the terrain was erased by the world reset, but the 3.4 beta
client's cache is mucked up so it kept the terrain cache, even after
world-hopping. I had to delete the property cache to get the terrain back
to what it *REALLY* was.

Dion: keep a elevdump of flat terrain :-)

Not really needed, I think this works as well :

# create a 0 byte file
touch dummy
# make an elevdump from this
elevdump < dummy

huh?

I tried to save an elevdump when my terrain was flat and I think it just
ended up as a 0-byte file or something.

When I tried to load it, it said something about no nodes or whatever...
*shrug*

Maybe the world admin tool works different from the unix
command line program. You could try the Windows command
line program, maybe it works like the Unix one.

hm, I guess it would even work to just move the
two files elev.dat/elev.idx away.

yes, that will erase the terrain, but not only in that world you will like
to erase the terrain in, but in all world you have in same AWS. If you have
more then one world in it.

emm, every world has a seperate elev dump...

There's only one elev.dat/elev.idx and deleting those will
erase the terrains of all worlds.

The elevdump command produces only one output, that you
can filter through grep of course in order to split it.
But so there's only one elevdump for each world server.

The admin tool is not a database tool, it is more like a
bot and those can produce separate dumps.

actually, theres one in every world folder, i just checked, and each is a
diffrent size. you wouldnt happen to be using 3.3 would you? cuz maybe its
diffrent in that, i dunno.

You must have checked the browser cache but
the problem occured on the world server.

It does not work to load a flat ( emty ) elvdump, it must have some node (
build 53 )

Easiest method I've found for resetting the terrain data is using a Xelagot.
Save the world terrain data in the terrain manager. Then upload the data,
setting the maximum height and minimum height .01 meters apart (like .01 and
0 meters, or in my case -6 and -6.01 meters). This way, you don't have to
worry about corrupting the data on multiworld server setups, by deleting the
files.

You need to change something, and then change it back, before dumping the elevation map. Otherwise there are no pages to save. For example, select a terrain cell and rotate the texture,. then rotate it back, or raise one node and then copy a different node and paste it over the modified one.

Yep, but you can still make use of that in some cases. Backup those two files, and then delete them. Then modify a terrain square in a world on that server and change it back, then save the elevation dump. After doing that, restore those two files from the backup. This isn't exactly straight forward, but it works.
