Terrain problem

[Marsal]

When I've started my map I've made a very big mistake and forgot to turn on the water when the terrain height is under a value. If it is possible, how can I turn this on? Now when I lower the terrain height it just makes my a dried hole but I want one with water in it.

From what I know, don't blame me if that's wrong since I only work with preadjusted maps, this is not possible, however this does not mean the end of your terrain. You can use the water tile that is included in the UTM instead to gain water instead.
The UTM can be found here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/terrain-board-267/ultimate-terraining-map-3-0-a-45316/
Just extract the tile from this.
But note: this is only my knowledge about it, someone else might been more experienced in that field!

Yeah I know about this doodoad but the simple auto water on the terrain could be better.

Turn on the water flag for every terrain node. In the flag bits for each terrain node, there is a set of flags (water, ramp, etc) which you can toggle.

Ofcourse, WE being a piece of crap and failing does not give you access to these flags at a low level. You will need a script or program that is capable of editing .w3e files (the terrain node list file) which your map uses.

can you tell me a program for this and how can I make it working?

 

[Dr Super Good]

I can give you the source code for a java .w3e reader and writer. Although the manipulation code you would have to write.

Any hex file editor would also work, but it would need you to modify each node on your map manually.

oh:S that's a pity
anyway, thanks for trying to help me

If you gave me the map, I could try toggling all the water flags for all nodes, but it better be atleast partly completed (if its empty, consider starting new).
