which leads me too....
« on: June 18, 2002, 05:52:38 PM »
Canjun asked about the clutter trees and I wanted to let you guys know something, you know i always think outside the box, heres what i did...... I made a vietnam type map. I made the water tile look like dirt. I put  down some rivers in all directions, then screen captured so i would know where the rivers crossed the tile. Now i edited the water tile that looks like ground. Now once you lay down rivers over this tile the rivers disappear so my rivers look like the rivers i made in the tiles ( more realistic river edges) .  now barges AND Pt boats can go over this tile. Now the ONLY problem this encounters is boats can go over what looks like land but since  you can lay down trees individually:) I used the tree clutter for water, IT will NOT place a tree over the river, now I just fill in the bare spots along the rivers edge so you can't go 'OFF" on to the land. It works and looks great, one warning DON't do this on a big map or alot of waterways , it's very time consuming.

get all that?????
