When i weld edges on a high def map, (i havnt tried on a normal track yet) it seems as if the weld continues onto the dismap, heres what im getting

Hey Bud,

The weld feature doesn't work for highdef/stunt maps. I've tried it before at from the looks of it its welding it like it were a nat or sx. Btw it does work well with nats or sx just not highdef/stunt maps.

Hope that clears that up for you.

Regards

i didnt know that, ty

it should work on stunts, i'll check it  out.

thanks for mentioning it.

I have just had exactly the same thing happen.  3 of the edges welded perfectly, the fourth did not.  Both edges are at identical levels but will not join.  BTW this is a National and is not hi-res.

Any ideas?

The weld feature sets the height of the edges the same for both the top and bottom edges and the left and right edges of the perimeter and main tiles. Because the terrain is tiled - for an SX and Nat the heights of the edges of the main tile and the perimeter tiles must all match top=bottom and left=right, and that's what D2 does copying the values from the left edge to the right edge and from the top edge to the bottom edge. It's the same as copying a 1 pixel strip in Photoshop from the top and left edge of the perimeter tile, to the top/left and bottom/right of the main tile and bottom/right of the perimeter tiles.

It's a bit different for stunts because the main area is made up of 4 tiles which are matched to their neighbours where necessary and not just the perimeter tiles.

Maybe you could send me a copy of the TRN file to test with?
