Water problem?

[The General]

I don't know if this was solved already on another thread or not(Don't know what to call this error) so forgive me if I didn't find anything My water does not want to cooperate and ends up like this http://imgur.com/hAbdeXW how do I fix this?

Probably to do with water height limits.

Try enabling/disabling (depending on what your current setting is) with CTRL+Shift+W and see where that gets you.

I'm using JassNewGenPack so I don't know what setting it's at(No limits enabled)

PS I"m a newb to jass pack other than it's preference settings.

Not accustomed to JNGP myself, but AFAIK it just injects its own code into the editor framework to add more functionality, so the editor's native shorthand shouldn't be affected. I'm guessing you should still be able to force enable water height limits with CTRL+Shift+W. If you've actually tried and it doesn't work still, I can move this thread to WEHZ where you may be able to get better help.

I'll try it with no limits disabled, then we'll see thank you for the suggestion though

Edit: go ahead with the thread move, I couldn't fix it on my own.

Copy and past terrain where it does look correct.

its more of a work around than a fix, because it will distort terain around the effected area, but with enough CnP you can fix this problem. I've had it in many of my playable maps.

Flatten it then re-try what you wanna do.

Open the terrain palette. Press "Space Bar" to not create any additional terrain.

Now you can drag terrain (Left-Click and drag) so you can select a specified area of terrain. Now if you finished, press CTRL+C to copy.

Press Ctrl + V to paste at the area you want.

dont copy and paste terrain to much though..
it might remove some bugs but it creates them aswell..

Flood the entire world with water flag. Super easy with a bit of programming knowledge and something like a Java W3E interface.

I've never heard of java in world editor Flooding with water flag sounds interesting is it as easy as doing something like this? http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/integrating-tools-into-jngp-234157/#B

No idea, I currently manually extract the W3E file using MPQEdit. Then I run it through a hackly made Java program which reads in the file, sets the water flag for all nodes and writes out the file. Finally I manually import the file back into the map using MPQEdit.

The MPQ manipulation part could be also done inside the hacky Java program if people made a decent service provider for it.
