Title: MCM2 Track Editor
Post by: VMX_Gravity on May 25, 2015, 02:23:04 PM
Its been years for this chap at making tracks but I'm having some confusion. After downloading the editor as well as the update it's still making my maps really bumpy once it's loaded into the editor. I'm using PS CC 2014, saving the files right (I think). My res when making a new one is at 72 and I always painting them double the size (514x514) I must be missing something but I'm stumped. Help an old creator out? :-[

Did you made a RGB or Greyscale image?

I sure do, but I had it saved as an 8bit. I assume it should be 16 or 32? :-[

Are you selecting the 'smoothing' option when you import the map into Armadillo?

I'm think you can only use 8 bits unless you use Leveler.

Turns out I didn't install the patch for Armadillo. Wow, can't believe how far out of the loop I am with this, lol.  ;)

Hahaha, yes sir. I have a new national in the works. Compared to what my old ones were like I'm really enjoying the style of having a wider track path. Going to need to install Dillo2 and figure out the old process of custom objects and skies!

Question, does anybody have an older version of Terragen? I downloaded a newer one and can't figure it out for the life of me. It's so different then the version I used to use and I don't like it. :'(
