How do i make space tiles?

How do i make space look beneath my space station tiles?

Choose a textureset which has a nice background. In the editor it might look black but that is because your Z draw distance is too low. Hold control and rotate the centre mouse wheel until background appears. Not all texture sets have one.

Alright.. not quite sure i understood that correctly, all that happens ingame when i did the control mousewheel thing was that the fog of war became .. weird can you name some tiles where it works?

Ingame it does nothing, in the editor it lets you see if there is a background or not.

Not all texture sets have a background by default (data editor can add them). A texture set is like a WC3 tile set.

I thought you can use the Hide Terrain in the terrain palette?

I dont know if you understand my question; let me upload a picture explaining what i mean:

So there is space things under the the ground you have made.

 

[mrzwach]

are you using a space tileset?

try lowering the terrain if so.

You mean you want to make the space things? Those are backgrounds textures, you can also add doodads of negative heights to enhance it.

 

[moosenoir]

yes exactly

So you did it?
