Thalassicus Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Sniper (or anyone else), do you know how the map editor decides to render the middle of a deformed streach of a plateau, if the middle cliff edges are "short" cliffs & the ends are tall? I've found it either does it correctly with the ramps down the ends, or weird with a big hill down the middle. I don't think this forum supports images, but my cliff is shaped roughly like two platforms, one at each end, with a short-cliff "bridge" of rock connecting them like this:+++ +++++++ ++++++++++++=======/++++++++++++++++/=======++++++++++++ +++++++ +++and I want the editor to ramp down at the ENDS of the short section, where the /'s are, and not just at the sides & leave a hill in the middle. I've experimented w/it, and it seems like sometime's it'll do it one way & sometimes the other...very tempremental :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_fox Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 The editor could be more user friendly, but otherwise it's better than I though it would be when Westwood announced it.I appreciate the effort Westwood put forth in making it available.I've had my own problems with the editor, though...well, actually only one problem so far. I place the ramp tiles exactly where they should go, but the ramps still don't turn out the way they should - my units can drive on the cliffs in some places (which isn't really realistic).

Thalassicus Posted October 31, 2001 Author Share Posted October 31, 2001 Ah I found it: deformed rock renders it's slopes in a field parallel to the line y=-x in the editor, ie all the slopes will slope up or down to the top-right or bottom-left corners of the map editor. So you'll want to have your short-cliff & tall-cliff nodes aligned like this in the editor:____+-+----------- ________ +-+----- ^ ^short cliffs tall cliffs...and it won't produce that funny hill in the middle between the short cliffs' section.
