LoL Ook Nederlands

I don't think that my team members will complain if I post this quick screeny while building it in EaSc.


(The island you see below is the Imperial Isle)

Some peaks still need to be added but it's finally paying off

yep ..;)

anyway thanks for that screeny as it tells me it not the beta-status but probably a bad installation, as the sculptor doesnt show textures on the buttons/icons on my system(was kinda hard to get going)

probably thanks to all the scrap I installed on my path to this tool, they royally messed up my install (good thing I use images/clones ...)


ps; dont forget to try and change the "height" settings in the descr_terrain file, it may just give you a much better feeling about what you made (the vanilla settings give you a relativly flat map ...)

Will do

Do you know a way to see the entire map, because like you can see on the screen, you can only see about 100-200 pixels away (which sucks)

I hate the fact that those ugly "things" are not just grass textures or something like that.

afaik you have to stay zoomed in pretty, but imo you can zoom out just enough to get an impression of an area, to edit a bit I find myself zooming in quite a bit anyway to be able to achieve certain detail ...

(I constantly kept exporting my map and used XnView on the side for a say radar-view ..)

did a bit of trial and error to see if there is a way to zoom out further ..

well you can, under fog increase the value "far" (but be carefull as the sculptor becomes much slower as zoomdistance increases ...)

hope its of use ;)

Excellent, works like a charm

But do you have any idea how to maintain good coastlines ? Because everytime I increase the max height (in the decr_terrain), my coastlines get screwed up and making all values around the coastlines 1,1,1 doesn't affect it anymore.
