My Terrain sucks.. Help..?

[Chief-Oblivion]

the regions.. it would be easier to just make them square.. so i can make actual regions in them and make my life alot easier.. =O

Just because the Map is square doesn't mean the playable map are needs to be square..

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Lol i know but its better that way so i can make regions perfect for the weather effects.. =D

 

[Turminator8]

hmm well its your map not mine so you can do what eva you want.. just try to be helpful

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

I just dont get what you're saying

 

[Turminator8]

oh lol sorry didn't know that was the problem.. So let me get this straight. You finally got a cool looking town, but it would be better if it was in a different map, but you don't want the different environments to look square and you dont want to start all over and make a new city that might not look as good as your first one. right?

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

pretty much.. yeah.. =D

 

[Turminator8]

ok, first, I would worry about getting the entire city from one map to the other. (the square map thing isn't a big deal, just make the terrain round or what ever shape you want and ignore the other space by using the boundary tile in the terrain Palette)

#2: First go to the Terrain palette and drag your mouse over ALL your city. Then do Ctrl C
After you've done that go create a new map with the size and tiles you want. Then do Ctrl V and place the terrain where ever you want your city to be.

#3 Now go back to your original map with your city and go to the Doodads Palette.
Then, Select ALL the doodads that make up your city and Ctrl C. Go to your new map and do Ctrl V. Place the Doodads directly over the terrain. (it may take a few times to get it right and you can always select all the doodads and delete, then do Ctrl V and try it again.)

Lol instead of going through all that hastle i think ill just rebuild my city.. because the city would still come out odd shaped..

 

[Turminator8]

hehe ok.. its not really hard.. harder to explain it than do it =) well gl with your map and tell me when its ready.

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Lol.. next year.. maybe.. im going to be doing alot of work once im done with the fucking terrain

Well if you still need more different tiles there is a trigger that can help you:

Action:
Environment --> Change Terrain Type

This might be really hard but still that a way to do it
