MasonDonn, that is indeed a screwed up error!  Try checking the box that says "Update LOD" and try unchecking "Render Grid"



Where might those be?  Tongue

At the bottom of the heightmap toolbar.  Right above the "sample" and "toggle wireframe" buttons

in order to make a map work for EIR, do i only have to create a starting point and a map entry point for each player or has there to be the HQ object as well?

Pretty sure you have to place HQ objects at the Map retreat points, that way units actually retreat there and go off field. Make sure they are in the playable area, too close to the edge and you can't save

You need both a starting position and a map entry point.

Is there a easy simple way to divide your map into territory sectors that are symmetric and same size ? Or is doing it with the Voronoi  tool and editing afterwards the only option ?

Yea, there's no other way other than doing it manually.
You can adjust the size of your sector brush though so in all it shouldn't be that much work.

ok

I have another question.

Most of my map is grassy, I noticed that when driving over it with HT's/vehicles that they were really slow, mud behind the tracks coming up.

How can I make it better so that they go somewhat normal speed. (roads are fine)

High Grass texture is the only one that slows down vehicles. If you don't want this then you should use another texture. (You can use another texture + actual grass types) Alternatively you can make some muddy paths in your grassy field with normal movement speed.

Nope, there's a particular 'high grass' texture that I was referring to.
Perhaps heightmapping is slowing down vehicles? Or perhaps you have water under the grass? How slow are we talking about? It's normal that vehicles move slower when not on roads and even slower when in water/high grass.

Im gonna test it some more and compare it to other maps with similar textures.

There should be no water below it, I hope. Dunno how to see this actually.

The speed is not really slow as when they drive thru water, but I feel it is slower than what Im used to on other maps, combined with the mud in the wheels I feel its a bit slower than it should be.

Ill post again later.

edit: Its the same on McG's War, so nothing wrong I guess, I might consider adding a few more small roads for better vehicle movement.

Last thing I have to do is make the sectors and then its done and Ill post Beta version so, hopefully, people will try it out.

maybe it was here somewhere before (sorry..didnt want to read though 15 pages of stuff) but do I need to save my map with the final name I want it to be right of the back or can I just use some random name and then name and then name it right at later date?

you can rename the sgb and all the other files but this won't do much.

sga can be renamed this is useful sometimes for betamap testing.

the name of the map in game can be changed while the map is still unpacked. open mapname.info with notepad and change the name.

Since it's not possible to modify the size of a map, how do I copy all the stuff from one map to another map?
