I also tried to add more than 4 strata to Point of Reach Ultimate. However when using TTerrainXP there was some graphical glitch: when you zoom out ingame, it looks like water/some blue overlay is over some part of the land. adjusting the water level didnt fix that (it wasnt over the land), so I disabled it again. In your pictures this is visible too.

I like your changes and I hope you used the latest version of the map, so I can include them easily

Yes, its latest version. I sended you PM with map and bug that i have.

I also found bug with water, but I thoungh that is bug in my editor. Are there any maps with TTerrainXP shader and water? If this is only on this map, then we can fix it, but if on all water maps when we should look in shader.

In last days I tested editor in painting textures and heightmap. I have found a bug in TTerrainXP shader, fixed and Speed2 helped me to push it to FAF update. I also added some usefull tools for painting as Linear brush and Scattering.

[CookieNoob]

the variable is called "map_version" not only version

minimap colors and that new brush are really awesome!

I found a small bug, when you add army markers, it doesnt check if a marker with that name is already present. In my case the map had "ARMY_1",.... "ARMY_6", "ARMY_9", "NEUTRAL_CIVILIAN". Adding an additional marker caused "ARMY_9" to be added (not really relevant on most maps though).

Wow totally love this thing! I searched for something like this FOREVER (wow that was a really bad one.)

Setting markers, selecting them, the graphic, the raster - really impressed by all those cool features but unfortunatly the one which is the most important for me - importing heightmaps - doesn't work atm: (Did it work before?)

Spoiler: show

I click on the button and nothing happens.

Also iam experiencing a slight performance issue:

Spoiler: show

When iam really near to the floor the painting works perfectly smooth but when scrolled out it gets really low fps and hard to work with.

Hello!

Im beginning to say that i like the initiative from you to make a map editor for FA since the others require the first Supcom to work. Thou I can't seem to load all available content in the game in to the editor. And when i press "New map" shouldn't a new blank map pop up, or a window where i specify size or something? I edited a map from the original game just to test everything and then pressed "save as.." and the editor wrote over the original :S steam validation fixed that, and then a repair of the FAF client in case steam wrote over some files.

I have SupCom Forged Alliance via Steam and FAF installed on the computer.

And the gamedata path wasn't accurate the way you described it, I had to go down one more level to get it to work, like this:

E:/Spel/SteamLibrary/SteamApps/common/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance/

What is going on here? Really eager to try this

[CookieNoob]

the editor is still in alpha state, this means that the editor is not yet feature complete. Adding/changing units (i.e. civilians) is not supported yet. The original maps should be "read only" thus you cant override them with the editor easily...

There are some bugs though, so reporting them is very welcome, but these things are just not implemented features.

Thank you for replying so quickly, and no, the original map WAS overwritten in an instant without any prompt and when i tried the map in a skirmish game it just went back to the start menu of the game.

So you can't start a complete blank map? You have to load an already existing map and wipe away everything to start "blank"?
Got any link to a tutorial on this editor?

P.S I'm going to try and wipe everything and make a clean install of everything, that might do it.

[CookieNoob]

unfortunately it is impossible to create an entire map in this editor atm. You need the original editor as a starting point (or just download a completely empty map like the map "Flat" from the vault) and use that.

no need to wipe anything just make sure you work with a copy of the original map and not the original map itself.
