hehehe, you didnt read my notes, apparently ;) it's in the topic 'demo editor (not rob's editor)'. but i'll repeat it for ya since those notes are so disheveled.
there are two ways you could do it; you could raise and/or lower that particular hill until it sort of rounded out on its own, or, you can use the the 'return' key WHILE you are in the height changing mode. the latter of those two, however, will round off ALL sharp points on the map, not just one.
i've often sort of jokingly said that this is the goofiest editor i've ever seen, but in fact, it's actually a pretty good one. there just wasnt any documentation to go with it, and it does have a few bugs. tosa and i have poked around and found quite a few of these features and managed to convey them from time to time in our own notes and docs. tosa is a bit more organized than i am so he wrote up a whole file on it. me, i'm more the mad scientist so i just stuffed all my notes here on the org and let it go at that, but there are some gems in there, if yer willing to listen to my long-winded explanations....like this one ;)
and, every now and then we'll find some other little gimmick or trick to use. tosa recently found out how to add bridges and i found out some of the rules and shortcuts for placing them on the maps. i also found a new feature that i cant even document very well cause i have no idea really what it does...but it's there.
hopefully, when the new editor comes out, there will be full docs on it...well, maybe not hopefully. it's actually been somewhat fun at times finding these little surprises to make things easier and better and it may even work out that some things will still be easier to do in the demo editor...so we'll see.

oh, p.s., get tosa's texture maps. they are on the org and at www.takiyama.cjb.com . they can help you with seeing what textures match up to other textures. they are maps that tosa did that have all the textures in them. i forget the file name right off hand but it shld be fairly obvious. it's down in the tools section of the maps section.
