<r>That's a good tip.<br/> I am getting fewer errors as I gain experience.

<t>Thanks Davinci, that's very helpful.<br/> if there is a file with definitions for the IDS names then I would be interested in looking at it.<br/> <br/> I suspect the 25 method is a bit hit or miss. I can make it work for small simple areas, but not on a large complex thing like my coastline. I'm ...

<r>New question now I am looking at roads. :whistle: <br/> <br/> In map.csv, do the IDS_ names have any relevance, or is it just the csv values themselves that are important.<br/> <br/> I saw some maps with:<br/> <TABLE><s>[table]</s> <TR><s>[tr]</s> <TD><s>[td]</s>IDS_MAP_COBBLESTONE<e>[/td]</e></T...

Does it have 1 in that column?

Yes. They deploy anyway.
Nevermind, thanks, I must be missing something. I'll investigate further.

<r>There were no roads, I am starting to look at how they work now.<br/> What do you mean that the 25 path needs to connect to roads?<br/> Is there an optimum width for 25 in pixels?<br/> <br/> In the shot below I show my test map setup.<br/> There is a road (115) over the water (0) which is bounded...

<r>I definitely need to work out how the road terrain (on map.bmp) works.<br/> I made a small 1 mile map to test some stuff, with water crossing the middle and a land spur joining at one end.<br/> There are no roads yet.<br/> <br/> In the shot below, water is 0, there is a 25 border, and an open ter...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Yep, mapname.bmp will be I influential.<br/> <br/> 3D objects .... I suggest you start with the 3D objects in the Lace Wars pack as they’re probably more up to date than those in my older maps.
