Terrain Custom Height Map Ideas
« on: June 11, 2012, 10:28:15 pm »
For those of you using Gimp or photoshop, we can only make terrains like mountains, hills, and rivers. (Etc.) But wouldn't it be awesome if we could somehow build into the mountains, hills, and rivers? Like, making a cave in a mountain without adding the cave mesh. Just a thought. xD And what's with the whole height mask thing? We can only have 3 terrains unless  we add another mask. Even though there are spaces for terrains. o3o Weird. I can't wait until the Fh server is back on. It's a relief that the site's back on because I've been going nuts and I've been depressed all day long. 3;

I'm pretty sure that you can add more terrains to the terrain mask without creating a whole new one. You would have the blue, green, and red. Try adding colors like yellow and purple. When you go to map maker they should change terrains as well.


You are amazing <3

The way the height map system is set up, you can't really work it in with current system. Way it reads it, is not functional in the way you want, though it is a good idea, and would be useful and wanted.

As for more than three terrains.
