Welcome to the alpha Patch 79.  This was built and released on October 9, 2015.

Test goals:
------------------
Terrain Editor
Object Editor

Create a terrain with the europe terrain set , then unzip the following into your new terrain folder.

terrset00.zip

Restart the terrain editor, You should now see funny colored terrain.

Run the object editor, choose one of the bmp's by select (open terrain tile) in ah3terr/YourTerrain/terrset00/texsrc

Not choose the base name only bmp, not a bmp with an _ in the name.

You should be able to add trees or clutter buildings to your tile. Save the tile. run the editor and check if the tree/building now appear.

Create roads and rivers in the Terrain Editor.

Add one airfield to the terrain and build it.

Now go into the game, select the terrain and make sure it is as it should be with your tree objects.

Action: Custom tree tiles now show in game correctly.
Action: Added a progress and cancel window to the build process in the Terrain Editor.

Additional Information:

Use the ".psave filename" command to save your position in the terrain/world.  If you do not provide a file name, then file will be saved as "cmepos.txt" in the "settings" folder.  Thank you!
