World Editor Terrain Need help

[Trakya]

I'm in trouble about how to remove doodads like blocking cubes stones etc. I tried with decrease clifs but the doodads object are still there, please help!

This happens after doodads are saved, once saved i can't do undo

Close the editor and re-open it.

Close the editor and re-open it.

It doesn't working. Once i open it again doodads are standing there, is there a way to remove doodads somehow?

 

[Solu9]

^^

Have you tried using the doodad palette in the tool palette?
Like selecting the doodad palette, click the doodad you want to remove, hit delete?

 

[Trakya]

Tried that too, nothing happens. There has to be some other way.

 

[Solu9]

And you are sure the doodad is not in fact a unit?

I'm sure, doodas that i'm trying to remove mostly are stones and pathing blockers. Units can be easily removed just by increase cliff level, but stones(rocks) and pathing blockers sit there and they are unremovable.

 

[Solu9]

That sounds very unplausible. It's true that some doodads survives a raise/lower terrain action. But you should still be able to select (or drag select, incase the doodad model lacks... something) and delete it afterwards.

I'm out of ideas.

Hey Dude thank you very much I didn't knew that i can move doodads and delete them. I though when i click on the doodads palete and hit delete they should be deleted, but i was wrong, maybe because I don't know well english. Thanks anyway. SOLVED

 

[Solu9]

The doodad palette lets you place doodads AND select/move/delete existing doodads.

I have never heard of anyone having this problem
But good it's solved!

 

[Solu9]

You can rotate doodads except destructibles. Hold down Ctrl+right mouse button and drag around.

Before you ask. You can change the height of doodads placed in you map by selecting them and use Page Up and Page Down.

thanks for tips!

I'm having trouble with Advanced Terrain Tutorial. How i can make terrain smooth and realistic? I tried to follow stepps but they don't work for me. Is there any useful help that i can get?

 

[elm0]

If you're making a new map, set the initial water level to shallow water and then increase the cliff size of the whole map by 1, that way you can use the lower tool to create water instead of shallow/deep water. makes it look better, and try to use the smooth tool for "smooth terrain".

How can i adjust weight of the doodads? Example Arch?

The weight?

 

[Trakya]

Solved. By weight i mean increase the size, but with control plus numpad "+" & "-" worked.

How can i make mountains to look like that photo? I used Raise and lower tools, but cliff still look bad. Best is with ramps, but there is a problem, no matter how higher the cliff with ramp is, units still can walk. Please explain me how can i make cliffs like the right photo

 

[Solu9]

The right picture cliff is made by using the raise/lower function.
How to make the completely steep edges I do not know. It's something I have been wondering myself.

The tutorial elm0 linked is pretty indepth step by step. Assuming you know english or use google translate (and actually checked it) then how could you ask this particular question?

I think with NewGen you can disable the height limit, haven't really tried it myself though.

ction.

Very simple, you just need Miscdata.txt
There are many threads about it, like
this one and
this one.
