revisiting heightfields in TG2 1.10.23.1

[neon22]

These heightfield ops seem to crash TG2 frequently - when user is adjusting parameters - and autogenerate is on.
Also autogenerate switch does not seem to always work even when switched off.
Is it time to look at these nodes again ?

Heightfield erode V3
Heightfield make river

Heighfield Generate - feature steepness, interactive adjustment - crashes

Auto-generate is known to be problematic. I would not recommend using it. Unfortunately I'm not sure that we will be able to resolve those issues before the final release, but if not I will recommend simply removing auto-generate for the time being.

Hi Oshyan,
Sounds like a good solution...
  but does this mean that the user must manually visit all heightfield generate nodes and manually generate.
  If so what does this mean for the commandline version ?

I must admit that we hadn't planned to fix all of the heightfield operator problems until after releasing 2.0 (there isn't time), but some of the more serious crashes certainly need to be fixed.
