How to Create Land Bridges?

[candelarius]

I've been trying for days to create some landbridges in Lusted's TE mod, and have also had no success, even though I copied the changes from other mods that have landbridges exactly. I've deleted map.rwm, corrected map_heights, map_regions, and map_groundtypes, but, nothing seems to make any difference.

Could one of the EB people please tell us how they made their landbridges, step by step, please?

I guess Uranos should know. maybe you could ask him.

Look closely at this picture (I've zoomed in pretty much):


Excerpt from MAP_REGIONS in \base folder.

Look again. You see how the landbridges are done?

If you want the full tutorial: it's in the scriptorium.

Do not just read post 1, read this one too.

Now look closely and see why a land bridge should work but does not.


Anybody have any idea why?

Have you followed the links I provided? Just editing regions ain't not enough.

Sorry for the late reply but somehow i missed this thread.

All i can add to the tutorial thread is that all you really need to make the landbridges work is to edit map_heights.tga and they are working only on half of the map - if you have 2 lands separated with 1 pic of water and there is no landbridges then you'll have to move it 1 pic up or down (or left/right if the sea area is vertical).

Don't forget to check if on map_ground_types.tga there isn't an unpassable area - like the mopuntains near Tingis. And don't forget to delete the map.rwm.
