This is a bit of an odd question, and I'm not sure there's a workable answer, but here goes:
I'm hoping to make a cinematic in my map that includes stuff happening in a blank void... ie, I'd like to have characters/doodads etc show up normally, but for the terrain to be invisible.
I've found one way to do this - create a custom tileset with an entirely black (or transparent) texture file - and keep the camera within this area only. However, that requires me to put a big ugly area of weird-looking tiles in my map.
Another possibility is to put the camera 'beneath' the ground, facing upwards, but that can sometimes make things look mighty odd.
I was wondering if there are any triggers or settings that can be used to hide all terrain while still showing units etc... or a map that does something like that that I could take a look at.
