Hello all,

I have a single cliptexture projected on a number of terrain files. I
created them using MultiGen. I have no problems viewing them in perfly
as individual files or as a group. In my app I want to page the terrain
in from the dbase process.

When I do the following the cliptexture center is never updated. The
texture is real blurry.

In App process:
before pfConfig call pfuInitClipCenterNode()

Dbase process:
1. Set the flt loader mode of PFFLT_TEX_MAP to 1 to ensure the texture
is being mapped.
2. Call pfuProcessClipTextures for the list of ClipTextures

When I move the pfuProcessClipTextures to the app in the post frame
processing the cliptexture is updated and looks good. The problem is I
am getting a warning stating the texgen node post app callback has a
null cliptexture and I should call the pfuProcessClipTextures to attach
the cliptextures to the pipe. This message is displayed every frame.
This is not true since I a do call that function in the app. After a
short time of adding and deleting from the scene the app dies.

Is there a way to load flt files containing cliptextures in the dbase
process?

Do I need to handle the Clip Center Node myself in the app process?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Scott Brabson
