Look in the rest of the folders. AKwabbit(?) included an Island map, “my_image” that will help a lot. The rest is learning the TE. Print the Help files from both if you have to. There is no way to tell you everything you need to know and some of it is only found in previous posts in this forum. Do a search when you get stumped.
Someone needs to do an indexed pdf file and post in to ah-terrains. Then we could talk about map design instead of the TE (hint hint.)
Hints: I know you’re going to ask. The new terrain editor won’t create a clipboard map. The way to get one is to copy and put the output from Wabbits utility into both editors’ terrains folders. In the old TE, locate you fields and make those tile snow. It will show up as white in the Editor window and more importantly, also in the clipboard map it creates. This has nothing to do with the grayscale map you use for AKWabbits’ utility.
Take the output from the old TE, it’s file name “map.bmp” and change the color depth to 8 bit / 256 color. Make a folder inside your terrain folder and name it “tersrc”. Rename the 8 bit “map” file to match your terrain name i.e. “my_map” or “test” or whatever.
I prefer the newer editor but like having my airfields show up as white on the clipboard while I’m working on it. After you’ve made your terrain and want to update the clipboard map, copy the “.elv” and “.typ” files back into a your original AH 1 Editor terrain so you can make another clipboard map. Wash and rinse as needed.
