The tricky thing about Terra Nova's terrain rendering was that it only looked good at those low resolutions -- as I recall, it took advantage of the large pixels to 'fake' the texture mapping of the distant terrain, because you couldn't tell the difference.

Any remake would surely need to render in a resolution higher than 320x400, and therefore would probably need a completely different approach.

I'm sure there's an article by Sean Barrett on the subject of Terra Nova's renderer floating around somewhere, in which he describes that technique, but I can't find it :/

(http://www.multiupload.nl/FF802B2Z1I) Here is a temporary download. I need to find a new web host, the old one is not coming back online.

I would recommend using DOSBox on any remotely modern PC (i.e. I started recommending that approach five years ago).

I have created a new (http://strikeforcecentauri.altervista.org/) Terra Nova fansite for my files. Nothing has changed in years except the links section, which I always try to keep up to date.

I know that recent Terra Nova and System Shock players on some forums have been asking for files from my old website. I guess I owe you an explanation. I was bedridden with pain this autumn, turns out I have leukemia. I have been in hospital for several months getting chemo, going back for more tomorrow. Have decent odds from doctors and responding well to treatment. On the plus side, I now have an implant in my neck into which the nurses inject detox, medipatch and staminup stims.
