Nice thank you

Editing weather? OO tried it but the thing turned green fog.

[Grozni]

What do you mean by weather? There are scene props you add for having rain, snow, thunder etc...
If you mean that slider for fog color you can change that color from same menu iirc.

There are props for the weather? I am used to map making but I've always left the weather alone incase of screwing it up

[Grozni]

Yea look for mm_weather_ props such as mm_weather_rain, mm_weather_clouds, etc...
You cav enter the value into var1 which will represent the amount of rain, clouds etc...

[Rival]

I'll try that. Cheers Grozni :3

A bit of a problem with the height code, after renaming the file of the map, and pasting the code over the old one, the code comes out with a map completely different. (Map I used was relatively flat, with one cliff, map came out with a lot of tall hills with rounded tops, and a lot of blackened terrain.

Edit: Not a problem anymore, however, the ladders in siege cannot be walked on, as you fall through.

Could someone explain the process of how to get my map/scene onto my Napoleonic Wars server? I used custom_map_17.
I tried the way this (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,228008.0.html) said but it didn't work it just used the same map. Please help. Thanks!

There is no way to change the map to a custom one that I know of, make sure you replace your server files with the new map ones by uploading it to the ScnObj folder in your server files. The server must start out on the map or have it set in rotation for it to change to the map.

Aha! Of course I wasn't changing anything in the folder. Grazie!

How do i successfully make a trench map?

Hello, basically my problem is that I cant make trenches look good. In the Iron Europe maps they look great and almost easily made.
But when I try it it looks crap and the prop is always a bit in the air.
Im always lowering the ground below the trench but yeah, it doesnt work.

Is there something like a special trick how to make trenches easily?

[Grozni]

Play with terrain brush sliders until you have a brush that's small yet deep enough. Just make sure there are no steep parts of terrain around trench or players will get stuck climbing it.
One trick that comes to my mind you could use is SCALE UP the trench a little bit so it covers whole pit.

[PortaWestfalica]

Nah that doesnt work either.

[Grozni]

Ah now I remember, the edges of trenches are not bending downwards very much so they are floating above terrain, yes. I "solved" this by piling other objects around edges, maybe someone has a better idea.

[PortaWestfalica]

Ahh now I know what they always use so that it looks good.
They use a fakeground.
