Creating a hand made scenario

[Killianbass3]

How do yall create maps like the serpent and soldier summit sherman hill etc... I cant figure out how to start or plan a map for a scenario any help would be so kindly appreciated thank you

If you want to use the random scenario generator and create a square-ish landscape like Weatherworld or Feed Flintrock, then use the scenario editor at the main menu. If you want a more realistic-looking landscape, try the Mapgen map generator. Instructions here -> http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=61010

Thank you but I meant like free hand not mapgen because i cant get the heights right

Then there's no good way to do it without just using the landscape tool on its smallest setting.

Well do you know what grey scale color setting i should use for the mapgen Because when i use the ones i calculate always skip two levels up like from 16ft to 48ft instead of 16ft to 32ft to 48ft

for example it will do this:

Code: Select all

144 ft                                                                                              _____
128 ft                                                                                    _____/
112 ft                                                                          _____/
  96 ft                                                                _____/       
  80 ft                                                      _____/         
  64 ft                                          -->      |
  48 ft                                           _____/                           
  32 ft                                  -->   |
  16 ft                                _____/
    0 ft                     _____/
 -16 ft           _____/
 -32 ft _____/

This is what happens when i test the color values i calculate as seen no other heights just at the levels
