Experimental Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hello people, I'm making a new map to explore, and it will be heavily urban based, though, I'm having a hard time with the sidewalks, so far, I've been putting them one by one, and it's become quite tedious after a couple of hours, specially when you see how much left to do =_= then when I entered the Landscape editor, I see that there are different settings for the landscape, so, using an asphalt tile will make everything easier to me, and I was wondering for those who got more experience in mapping could help me a little, by telling me if it's possible to change the default landscape from sand to asphalt, and if it is, then how. Lemme show you the screen with the different settings for the landscape, so far I tested everything I could and couldn't change it, so I'm pretty sure it's not done in the same window, or at least, that's what I think. http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/2255/landscapebsas.jpg And this is to see how awful does a sidewalk seems with sand as default Landscape =_= http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2833/map11y.jpg Well, any assistance provided is greatly appreciated beforehand =D thanks for your time.

Hiya, One suggestion on the sidewalks , you can duplicate say a dozen and line them up like there suppose to go and then just duplicate again till you have all you and by holding Ctrl and clicking on each one then holding Ctrl you can move more then one at a time, for the asphalt thing, you pick a area that you want to asphalt and just Right click and hold the button down and move the mouse over the area you want asphalted be aware though it will texture one big square, at a time. Good Luck CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experimental Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thank you, as for the sidewalks, that's pretty much what I have been doing, but leaving sand in the empty places doesn't seems alright to me. As for the landscape, you say that I do that while using the landscape editor? I don't mind the big square, I was to put asphalt pretty much everywhere xD Thanks again for the insight, I really needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElijahHouck Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 A really easy way to replace the "LAND_DEFAULT" texture is to press the "I" key while in landscape editor. It'll show you all of the ground textures that are in the current cell/quadrant/whatever. Right click "LAND_DEFAULT" and click Replace. Select whatever texture you want to replace it (in your case, the asphalt one).Oh, and a useful tip is that you can only have 7 textures per quadrant (or is it cell?).
