!!!!!!!!!!<Terrain>!!!!!!!!!

(The real Billster) #1

1 When making terrain for your map using easygen , the heightmap is so hard to use to get what you want is there an easier way to make terrain?

2 After your terrain is made then do you use csg subtract to place your buildings or how do you make your map.

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

  1. What graphics editor are you using I have a version of photoshop which makes it a breeze.

  2. I’m not an experienced mapper with terrain by any means but you can subtract terrain but I would recommend backing up your map beforehand. I’ve had problems with map leakage while doing this. I ended up having to recreate the terrain and importing all the architecture I had created which was a serious pain in the ass.

Try never to use csg subtract operations, they most often lead to many more brushes (then doing it by hand) and problems.

I make a large brush the size of my building (then hide my building so it doesn’t get selected) and do a select_touching then delete the terrain where the brush was.
