The TerraInfo actor
I was wondering that it's possible to have something similar like terrainfo actor from U2 engine. The static mesh terrain makes a giant loss in fps. Maybe someone is working on it?

Re: The TerraInfo actor
That would be nice to see!
Just think of what the community could do with it, having the BSP hull already, you would just have to "paint a terrain around it" and ta-da! You have an upgraded Unreal outdoor-map. This, combined with a foliage system and proper lighting could look neat.
I've heard that someone made "bumpmapping" for UE1 and iIrc I even saw a video of it... Bummer that I cannot find it anymore. UDK became way too popular and all search-results were related to UDK. :-/
Hmm... this raises the question, would it be possible to do post-process volumes? :-?
All this in combination with each other, that would be neat! I think such a visual upgrade of UE1 would make it look like a much newer engine.

Re: The TerraInfo actor
BumpMapping was possible through a custom OpenGl renderer IIRC.
You must construct additional pylons.

Re: The TerraInfo actor
It's "TerrainInfo", and you wouldn't want the one from the U2 engine, as it was a bit unstable 
The one in stock Unreal Engine 2 is what you are thinking about.

It's not, unless you use this custom renderer. And it looks horrible anyway.Was?? So now it's not possible?BumpMapping was possible through a custom OpenGl renderer IIRC.
