Creating a terrain map?
« on: February 15, 2005, 02:10:20 PM »
Hello!

   I recently created a bombing training map with bases at 10K 20K and 30K with water in between them and 20 miles away are every target in the game for bomb practice.....although the game will run this, I can't for the life of me figure out how to make a map for this scenario....or any other I try to create for that matter.

   I have tried the "create map" option and the only thing it does is create a light blue bitmap image. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?...any help would be highly appreciated!

     Thanks!

You are using an older version of the Terrain Editor and you have a  couple of options:

1.  Get the latest version (2.02) of the editor at:
http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/AH2EDIT202.EXE
The download is 72 MB.

or

2.  Use Nhawk's mapmaker that was temporarily available at:
http://www.ah-terrains.com/public/Mapbmp.EXE
2.8 MB download.

Thank you,

    I did have an older version and downloaded the new one and it creates a proper map HOWEVER, although I may sound stupid by saying this, what do I do with the map now?...when I load the terrain in H2H it still doesn't show a map, so where do I place the map ...in which folder or what not so that the game recognizes it as that terrain map?

Creat a folder named texsrc, change the map to 8 bit color, give it the same name as your map and put it in this folder. Them bulld your map.
