Thanks for the help Though I tried doing exactly what you said for painting, but it didn't seem to work... maybe I'm still not doing it right. Anyway, it's late. I will try it tomorrow.

Okay, well I don't know how much time I'll have to work on my "fun maps". The reason for this is that I found a better use for Sandbox (because, I admit, I'm no game dev). I want to start using it to create maps that give me a visual version of my writing (I'm attempting to write fantasy)....

It never closes on me, though sometimes when I'm in a huge map, it will lag a little bit. Not really sure what you mean by "secret". It just works fine. If you want to know: ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 8/18/2009, 22:05:37 Machine name: ****...

I have Win 7 too and it works wonderfully.

Ohh!! So that's what those are for! Thanks, I'll be getting on right about now to check it out

Edit: Hmmm... guess I don't get it after all.

I do know how to make hills, they just don't look smooth like real ones do. I was wondering how to get the "flowing" affect.

And there's a paint tool?! Do you know where I can find it?

Thanks for the help

Okay, so I'm having a bit of trouble making hills that seem smooth. All the ones I've made look pretty boxy-ish. Especially once I light the map. I want hills that turn out like this: http://www.moddb.com/games/platinum-arts-sandbox/images/robomonkey-and-village-map4#imagebox So do I use the smooth ...

One idea I had: an app that will create random terrain. So if you don't feel like creating all those hills yourself, you can just use this. This couldn't be used for most maps, but other maps that are in the wilderness (like a forest or something) would work.

And good work!

Pretty sweet stuff!

Is there something called "water wars" that is going to be implemented? If so, this could be a fun themed map for that. Maybe I'll put more obstacles in.
