two issues about terrain rendering

[zax]

hi, everyone.
Now I am creating a terrain from a bitmap image.
Mapping a moderate texture to the whole terrain may cause blurring effects when taking a close look. So I tend to texture-mapping each quad and enable mipmapping function. But how assign texture coordinates if i rendering the terrian with triangle stripes? thanks!
another question,
Is there any good camera or navigation model for terrain scaning, including walk and birdview. Can someone give me some directions or doc sources I can refer to. I really appreciate your help.

http://www.gametutorials.com/gtstore/pc-71-1-height-map-4-volumetric-fog.aspx the tuts here used to be free of charge but now they cost $5.
also look at the tuts here: http://nehe.gamedev.net/default.asp

don't support gametutorials :) Crappy code and it costs you 5$ ! >:|
There are lots of free resources on the internet.

To help you, please describe your problems, since I really can't see what's wrong with using tri-strips and texture each triangle? :)

Good luck!

Best regards,

for(int i=0; i<TerrainLenth-1; i++){
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP);
for(int j=0; j<TerrainWidth-1; j++){
glTexCoord2d(?);
glVertex3f(j, heights[i*TerrainWidth+j], i);
glTexCoord2d(?);
glVertex3f(j, heights[(i+1)*TerrainWidth+j], i+1);
}
}So as I apply a common texure to every quad, How should I assign texture coordinates.
