I wish if there was a tool like the WeaponsEdit or GunsEditor to edit the _data.INI file for the models (Air/Ground).

A roads/rivers tutorial for TE

ThirdWire's Terrain Editor does not have working river and road list functions, so there's no need of a tutorial for something that simply does not exist. All road and river tiles in all custom terrains are placed manually by us creators with gerwin's TFDtool. You can get an idea of how time consuming and tedious this is.

How odd. That's never been a problem for me

white = roads

green = rivers

I don't think that's what he was referring to, Kevin. Some users wrongly believe that the Terrain Editor can automatically add rivers and roads using .ini lists; this function was never implemented in TW's Terrain Editor, despite it being shown in the GUI. For cities it's a different matter, city lists do work to an extent.

The only way to properly add rivers and roads is to place each single tile manually via TFDtool. There's no easy way.

Phoooey on the TFD tool!!! :lol:

I actually only use for minor height adjustments. I know, I know, not everyone has the TE experience I have.

Brother, don't I know it!!! 

Of course, you all can see how I cheat by painting the tile transition edges, and the roads and river paths. Did the sea/land coastline tiles too!! It cuts down time trying to match, and makes all the edges perfect (you'll find that screw up on the stock 3 terrains, too)

I'm a cheater!!! I'm a cheater!!! hahaha hahaha

:drinks:

I drink to my own cleverness!!!
