WHO MOVED MY MOUNTAIN?!

OOM-9 · Post by **OOM-9** » Mon May 02, 2005 12:45 pm

Ok guys... working on a map, as it were that has lots of water with only a little bit above the water.

On one side of the map I raise the terrain to a small hill to support a base like construction... (out of the water level)

It all looks good in Zeroedit, I sink the buildings into the hill, make terrain alterations to make sure there are no gaps or glitches, etc.

Place props, place buildings, place CPs.

Then I munge.

Then I test...

Now mind you in zeroedit all you are about to see are supposed to be sunk into a small hill...

In this one you can see the small hill in the distance...

here is me jetjumping up to one of my floating buildings and looking at the traitorous hill.

looking around in confusion...

cursing the traitorous hill for it's mobility.

Why is my mountain moving?

or rather... is my buildings moving? and has it to do with the water by anychance?

I am confused... I build ARC: Theed Estate with no problems like this, and that map has a whole palace balanced on a cliff... with can't this little hill sit still?

Iiinteresting. One of my failed maps I had raised a large piece of the battlefield and put walls around it to make an arena. When testing my map turned itself insdie out and everyone would take two steps before falling to a fiery death. Seems sometimes bfbuilder likes to change things when we aren't paying attention.

That happens to me on my map. Everynow and then it'll delete a command post even though I dont' work with objects. Its a tricky one.

I find this applies on this topic

I would also know what cause this strange terrain height behavior. It happened to me too when working on some maps.
Might it be that Fred misunderstood this because i can´t believe also that it has something to do with the sky file?

Sometimes i started the map from scratch other times i simple moved the terrain up or down so it was fine in game but no longer in the Editor.

There are always solutions... You just need to seek and find them...
