hit "W" ; the ground go`es blue ;selected a square : the border
goes red ; right click inside the square ; I get the menu ;
click on "toggle water" AND .............noth`n ; select water height and set at -2.5 ; and ;......noth`n
tried it in raise and lower terrain mode ;.......noth`n
there got to be someth`n miss`n ;is the a file lurk`n about somewhere to be copied first ? ; can choose and change texture no swet ; but can I strike water ;......no chance

Aug-13-01, 08:31 PM (EST) 1. "RE: still no water???????" Take a look at the maximum & minimum settings for terrain in the tile. I'm using John's DEM conversion, and on my lowest tile the minimum tile height is about 1550 meters. I set my water level to about 20 meters above that, then adjust downward from there until I get the water in the channels I've carved. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-13-01, 08:55 PM (EST) 2. "RE: still no water???????" thanks for the quick response ;
this route is at default zero ;;route starts at 2 mtrs above sea level(when the tides in) so I`ve sunken the area down to
about 5 mtrs set height water height at -2.5
selecting a lowered tile; where do I get it`s true lowered elevation
the answer gonna be obvious I know it ; usually works out to be that way
in suspense here ! Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-13-01, 11:21 PM (EST) 3. "RE: still no water???????" I think I had this trouble too.Have a look at your water settings in the game options screen, make sure you have the water option checked.
If this is unchecked you will not see any water in the editor.The route editor seems to use the graphics settings from the game.hope this helps. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
