Well, razo, in some part of the Italian north-eastern areas is just what you may find out, then.

Oh well, sometimes it may happen - nothing personal, of course, it’s only their business :lol:
With best regards,

…don’t think you want high mountains as much as you’d like low valleys…but for the most part I’d wager you’re looking for a specific geographic location which we haven’t covered with a theater…yet.
…or that terrain masking is highly overrated?
-
as much as you’d like low valleys…
Who doesn’t want to fly through the Mach Loop, the Swiss Alps or (if it were legal) the Grand Canyon?
-
I was going to suggest the Nevada theater for just that reason, but it’s not really ready for prime-time, right?
…I’d go sightseeing in the Alps any time!
-
I loved to BVR or dogfight in the mountains (AF AI was good, BMS 4.32 AI crashed often…dont know if it was fixed in 4.33)
unfortunally for personal use only…due to the reluctance of the team to fix terrain diagonals
but there is Nordic available, made by Tom…I am sure there are some deep walleys too (I have them in that northern location too)
-
I could try to do something with high mountains, but I’d need the Link to some of the tools, and maybe also some tutorials or so…
-
razo,
until a few months ago there was a long and detailed list of ‘must to have’ tools, also to make theathers or terrains… just a pity I’m able to find it out any longer, neither to recall its author - RedDog? Or Arty, more probably?
Just don’t know.Best wishes and good luck!
-
Thanks, i’ll go and search a bit
Just a quick site note: my first time doing something like this, but i’ll try
-
Not me for sure but maybe it is in my hot list.
Also about mountains there was Vietnam in the past and Zelegents theater which was paused but must be working on it now… -
Does anyone know which Tools i need and maybe also post a link to it?
Currently i have dem2terrain
TerrainScripts
F4Browse
TheatermakerWhat else would i need?
-
dem2terrain and terraineditor (by monster) is enough for u
-
Got terrain editor, but maybe a wrong one?
First missing the .msi file at startup
reinstalled
Now i get only runtime errors…
Something i missed?
-
.net framework, vbruntime modules? have you installed all those?
-
I don’t think so
Thanks i’ll go and search once more
-
turn off your antivirus as well
-
So Norton deactivated
Framework installed, same as VB Runtimes
Installing Terrain Editor
But when i want to run it (after complete installation) it ask me for confirm of autosaving, I click yes and then i get runtimes error…
Anything else i should know?
-
post exact error code and wait for Monster’s answer (in terraineditor thread). He will probably guide you via debug process as he did with me few times (gentle guy)
… but most of my problems caused Avast antivirus (it likes to put exe into Quarantine)
-
Sorry to interject my 2c to this discussion and problem.
I understand the importance of having Monster’s Terrain Editor - the best terrain editing tool there is - installed and working. I am sure there will be occasion to return to this subject and try to solve the problem.
At this point however, since the objective is to create new (from scratch) mountain terrain, I would focus my attention on Dem2Terrain and make that 1st step in creating new terrain by getting all ducks in the row (selection of the terrain size and actual swath of the terrain from main DEM and then perhaps pertaining *.00 files).
Unless someone is letting you edit already made terrain (which I do not think is the case) use of the Monster’s Terrain Editor would not make the terrain from scratch. If you have already started terrain, then the matter is entire different altogether and sure the editing/using Terrain Editor is the way to go. I hope I made myself clear, that TE is kind of tool for the 2nd and perhaps even 3rd stage.
-
yes, the more detailed list for me would be:
- dem2terrain
- CATE + MSPaint or Photoshop etc.
- terraineditor + terrainview (obsolete, u must produce PCXs for it, but it is fast and simple handtiling util)
I wanted to make it as simple as possible…so dem2terrain to make theater “frame”, highmap + prepare features (roads, rivers, cities,borders) and terraineditor to see something…
