editing the terrain files--- grey triangles argh!!!

[boychuk]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a scenario where cities are part of the terrain. Basically, I've decided to get rid of arctic terrain and sub in my "city" terrain.

I can use any terrain from a mod (and edit it) and it works okay. However, when I try tto edit the original terrain 1 file I get grey triangles all throughout my map editor.

What do I do?

You have to pay attention to the "grey" color being used, since the grey color used for transparancy is the same color as the grey in the "real" palette. So make sure all transparent grays have the same number in the palette (IIRC it's one of the last two colours of the palette).

Alternatively, you can just blank out all transparent areas with the pink which is used in all the diamonds, it also becomes transparent in the game.

thanks, I'll try that.

I found an easier way, however. I just used the FW scenario editor and did it through there. that seemed to keep everything kosher.
