Terrain Mask Help Please?
« on: July 31, 2011, 10:14:30 pm »
I'm trying to make my first map, a small cave like hang out. I've made the height map already, but I cant seem to find a tutorial for a Terrain Mask (in member mad tutorials and the directory thing). What is it, and how do I make one for my map? Any help is appreciated, Thank you in advance :3

EDIT: I have Naturalistic, if that changes anything.

Make a 513x513 square, like a heightmap. Except this time, it needs to be in RGB mode. Then paint it in with Red, Green, and Blue. Red is texture 1, Green is texture 2, and Blue is texture 3. Save it and load it in map maker. Then, where you select terrain textures, there is an arrow to go to the next texture to select.
Hope this helps. ;)

Yes, there is a way to have more than 3 textures, you need to edit a few files, as soon as I get FH to work again I will test it out and tell you how x3

You don't need to edit files for more than three textures.
