Flat terrain how to

#1 Import a constant color (height) height map, and then use the editor to bring it into the mission and save.

There are many threads on making custom terrain using heightmaps--try searching either on heightmap, or heightscript.

#2 Isn't there a "flatten" brush in the editor that will take the affected areas to a hieght value of zero?

I'm not at my home PC to see, but I could've sworn I'd used it before.

#3 Theres a flatten brush, and a set height, if I recall you can set the height to whatever you want :)

#4 If you wanted a completely flat map press F11 then F7 to get to the Terrain Terraform Editor. Click the operation button and choose terrain file. This should set the terrain file to terrains/terr1.ter. Press apply and you will get a completely flat map.

#5 The height for the "set height" command can be set in the edit menu -> terrain editor settings, if I recall correctly.

#6 Applying a Terrain Terraform Editor operation of type "Terrain file" with an empty terrain file parameter should do the trick.

#7 Just a hint : Flat terrains sometime generate strange rendering errors. If that happens, try making a little hill on it.

#8 What if I want to go beyond a flat terrain and want to get rid of it all togeather? I think I was able to do that with Tribes2...

#9 @Karl,

It's possible, you have to delete the terrain directive from the mission file. You'll find more info about this on space shooters threads.

#10 I think you can delete it directly from the editor to (just select it from the list and hit delete). Or does that crash?

#11 I have a description on 'flat terrain' on my website
