Aaron, I think this will help. This is made by pokie (btw ty pokie, good help :D), but was given to me by 1gunner:

To make the Clipboard map:

Go to Settings
Map Size
Select 64
Click Ok
Goto File
Make Map
Change Bitmap Size to 512 X 512
Leave all the other settings alone.
Click OK
The whole screen will go white for a few seconds ( longer if terrain had more textures )
Exit the TE when the screen comes back to normal

Look in your C:\Program Files\HTC\aheditor\terrains\TEST folder
You'll see a map.bmp
Open this with Windows Paint program ( this .bmp must be converted to 256 colors )
Goto File
Save As
File name: enter the name of your terrain, in this case TEST
Save as type: select 256 Color Bitmap
Save
PopUpBox... saving into this format..........Do you want to continue? Click Yes

Now we need to make a Folder and place it in your C:\Program Files\HTC\aheditor\terrains\TEST dir

Left click mouse on Test folder
Goto File
New
Folder
Rename it texsrc
Now move you TEST.bmp into this texsrc folder

Start the TE
Open your TEST terrain
You'll see your clipboard map in bottom right corner.

Goto File
Build
Then exit the TE

Look for the TEST.res file in your C:\Program Files\HTC\aheditor\terrains folder and move it to your C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High\terrains

Run AcesHigh and select your TEST terrain.

Hopefully it loads without any problems

look on the object list on the left... scroll down to brdg 1 2 etc

then to designate what country a field belongs to.. click setting, field settings, then its just like changing sides of a field when hosting.

4 types of Bridges are

Brdg-B
Brdg-B2
Brdg-S
Brdg-S2

Note:  Anything listed in your shpfilter.txt file will not show up in the Object Selection Box in the Editor.

This shpfilter.txt file is found in your C:\Program Files\HTC\aheditor\terrains folder and can be opened with notepad.
