Hello been fiddeling with the terrain editor
didnt seem to be any difrent to the 1 in ah1

so i made a terrain "1"
then i made map This didnt show the terrain i had made so i coloured it in with paint and got it pretty close then i continued 2
rename it and save it as 1.bmp @ 256 colour 512x512

I re opend map editor and it was in the corner like it should be i then saved the file and did "build" and mooved the files it created to my ah2 terrain folder

You put the "map.bmp" into your terrain folder, which allowed you to see it in the TE.

You need to make a TEXSRC folder and put a copy of the "map.bmp" (or in your example, "1.bmp") into the TEXSRC folder.

THAT is how you used to do it.

Or at least that is how it worked in AH1... I haven't done it in AH2 yet.

It works fine in ah2
But the make map command makes a blank map,
So i make a 512x512 256 colour bmp in paint b4 i make the terrain.

Then i start a new terrain and save it b4 adding any tiles, Add the bmp to the folder, and Then i can see the map in the terrain editor and then i just place the tiles in acordance to what i drew in paint,

Apart from that and the fact that objects instantly snap to the center of a grid, ah2 map editor is virtualy Exactly same as ah1,

Thanx for your help
