Nuget,

Bustr I have no talent for designing stuff, but I'm sure you with your knowledge of the editor and AH would make a great ETO and Pacific map.

And this extends beyond terrains as we have seen.

It's not easy.  I can't even get my map to show up offline.

1. - Make sure the terrain name is 8 or less lower case letters.
2. - Put one field on it so you can enter a tower offline.

If you have named it with too many letters, go into the terrain editor and do an export. Then you will generate a heightmap file. Start a new terrain the same size but, with a proper name. Eight lower case characters or less. Do an import and go to the directory of the first terrain where the heightmap file was exported to. It is named hight.raw, import it as a singed file. Then carry on from there offline to look at your terrain. Oh, and you will have to repaint it at this point.

My first oceania project version I named it solomonils and the terrain would never load offline.

Sorry you couldn't pay me enough. Just join FSO and the special Events which are all historical.

Good info.  Thanks.  I will try it.

Arlo,

More Arloipegalos popped during the cleanup...... :aok


Before when my imagineering turned to fudge and my brain quit.




After when the Arloipegalos popped up to take a look at the cleaned up terrain.




Streams and lakes and bridges Oh, My...at least no hephalumps and woozles.... Crappp, I had to use grass at the top of the tree line because of the large areas of only grass tree tile on those steep slopes to tie it together visually. Now I'm thinking I want to update some of the other islands this way. It's a never ending madness thinking up better looking tile combinations. :bhead

Why do you derail thread? All I asked was for the map.

because you have ask for the game play that this or these maps would be used for.
