Placing Additional Terrains

[Patine]

So, I added four new terrain slots to my Pacific Rim scenario, taking advantage of the new capability for ToTPP. I added the graphics on the Terrain1 file, then added their entries, and those of their special resources, in the Rules files. I then reloaded my working save file, and it didn't crash, so it recognizes the legitimacy of the new terrains mechanically. However, when I went to try and test placing them (with a "Treaty Zone" strip of terrain on the Inter-Korean Border), it didn't show up in the menu for "Change Terrain at Cursor" with the standard cheat menu. Could someone please remind me (as I've probably read it in a post here at some point) how to place additional terrain types on the map?

I think you need to use the ToTPP hot keys. I believe ctrl + 3 - 8 or something like that.

Also double check you have properly added them to the @terrrain part of rules. You must also add the two "special" resources for new custom terrain.

Hi Patine,

Go to the Scenario Creation Excel Sheet thread here to pick up the TOTPP v015 PDF guide.

Item #41 in the guide covers adding new terrain and item #52 explains how to use Edit Terrrain hotkeys.

Thank-you very much! I'll have a look through this.

I added the graphics on the Terrain1 file

Good day!

Please, tell me how to add a new type of terrain correctly?

I made the necessary changes according to the instructions in the RULES file. A new type of terrain appeared:

However, the graphics fail as I did not add the image to the file terrian.bmp, as stated in the instructions:

I do not understand how you can "move the field of roads" down. Please tell me how this can be done. Or, please share a ready-made working file from which I could understand how this technology works.


Upd. Although I have already found the required graphic file in one of the scenarios.
