Title: ahedit - zone 2 problem
Post by: Easyscor on May 16, 2005, 12:13:53 AM

I've found ways around it but this is repeatable.  Zone two including the HQ doesn't show up when I follow these steps as well as many variations.

Nope, that didn't work for me either.  The only way I've been able to work around this is to use an old terrain that works and use it as a templet.

Here are my .oba files:

Use only one screen full of Grass, 120 tiles, everything else is water.  It will cause the problem every time.

As soon as you increase the number of grass tiles to 4 screen full, say 480 tiles with everything else water, everything works properly.

Now admittedly 120 tiles of grass with everything else water is unusual but it indicates a problem may exist which could affect other things on any map.

:lol I can't tell you how much time I spent tracking this down since the original post but it drove me crazy.
