Map making stuff...

[Kiat]

Okay, about the only thing I can do on a map is put already-made objects on it. I want to know how to make the map have hills and valleys and stuff like that. I also want to know how to make my own objects. Also, what is grayscale? I don't have GIMP or Photoshop or anything like that. Can you make height maps on Paint? I've read the other posts from people and other people who help saying, "No, you can." Or, "I don't think you can make grayscale on paint." So, I really need help.

You can't make heightmap in paint at all as far as I know.

You must have Gimp atleast, download it from their site and install it.

Grayscale is an image that's in black and white and contains no colours. "Grayscale mode" is used for making heightmap, if they aren't, it will crash the game.

You make hills by making so called "heightmaps". How to make one can be found on various places such as the documentation part of the forum or user made tutorials section.

Okay... Thanks. When I get GIMP... What do you do to get the height to the map? You save it in the Terrains in media, right?

If you just read the "Documentation" Part of this site it will explain all this for you in a nice way.

can someone tell me how to use a map i finished in game and share it with my group members only and not all the public?

You can always create your own thread laydon.

But you need to put the "exported" map into a zipped folder. And then upload them to a site like mediafire.com or sendspace.com.

Once that's done you give the download link to the ones that should play on the map.
