Problem with map! (Newbie question)


(Sniper) #21

I just say easygen sucks because that it can’t export the metashader file correctly, but as far as I am aware there is no Terrain-Making Program around who can.
There’s an alternative to make terrain, which is import a bitmap in greyscale 8 or something like that, make an alphamap.pcx manually (Must be the same size in pixels as you used the greymap to create the terrain)

And there’s no need to say “Sniper”? It’s a bit rude to talk like that to someone’s who actually helping you?

I have used Easygen many times to create terrain and it has done the job just fine, some may have problems it depends what you want to do with it. If you do want to try i would recomend looking at the tutorial below. Also the thread i have included is when i was first using it and having problems it includes some good responses.

“Sniper” don’t be so sensitive they are only quotation marks.

I think easygen works good.
Only thing you have to do by hand is to re-arrange the created shader (cut/paste the base-shader from the bottom of the file to the top).

I am not sensitive, it is just a bit rude to use Quotation marks around your nickname… or is it just me?

The tutorial videos available on easygen’s site are great. They are in German and I do NOT speak german, but between just watching them with the volume off and having the shortcuts menu in the help toolbar…you should be all set after a little practice. !!!

Easygen does not suck at all. Just learn how to use it and you’ll love it “DUCK” - hehehehehe j/k. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
