Author Topic: New problem with custom tile transition (Read 345 times)

Denholm · « **on:** May 24, 2007, 10:51:01 AM »

I just downloaded and started using the new TE. I was attempting to update my dogwar terrain so that the custom water tile transitions to regular ground transitions wouldn't have the regular water tile in-between. Well, updating went well, yet when I saved, exited, re-named the files to make the update, then re-entered the TE, the transitions were back to normal.

Before I saved the transition was fixed so that half the tile leading to the ground (beach) wasn't the regular water tile but instead the entire transition to land was the custom water tile. Yet after I saved, exited, and then re-entered the TE it was back to normal. Is this perhaps thanks to new requirements on the tile transitions, or is it a bug with the TE?

If you have copied your old files to a new location, from a CD or another hard drive, you may have to undo the read-only attributes they picked up. Select files -> right click -> Properties -> uncheck Read-only.

I have to do this every so often.

Not a bug nor a new requirement... just an awkward housekeeping duty (hopefully).

Ill try it, thanks for the info.

EDIT: None of the files are "read only". This is perhaps because I didn't copy the files, I just renamed them so I could generate the update.

Ahh, okay... you'll probably find that it works if you ignore what the TE shows you and build it anyway. Delete your cache folders in both the AH2Edit and AH2 folders.

Okay, I forgot to do that, I'll probably do that after I finish searching for travel agencies that are hiring in the region.
