HM Editing - noob issues - Ibsen's Ghost - 02-06-2011

Hi all,

With my new PC, I can finally make use of the height map editor. However, I've immediately noticed a problem I can't solve with the CS Wiki. When I get the HM loaded up, I can't see the full worldspace. The furthest reach of land is set at about 42 along the x co-ordinate and the HM area I'm presented with only goes as far as 30. Is this the four-quad rule mentioned here: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Creating_Large_Worldspaces#Using_the_Heightmap_Editor_Part_1 ?

Also, are there any more useful tutorials or resources other than this one: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Heightmap_Editing ? It's not a nice approach...just a dull list.

You can't change the display area but you can change which 4 quads are displayed.

Make sure that the "Overview" tab is checked under the "View" menu of the Heightmap editor. Once it is, click "Refresh Overview". It can be a bit buggy, so just keep doing this until a tiny map of the quads is displayed in a new window (you may need to exit and enter the HM editor to do this). Then simply select the 4 quad set you want by clicking on that area in the mini-map.

Why did sadmemories20 copy and paste a section of Deez's post? just curious.

Odd indeed. And don't click on the link in his sig. It's clearly a dodgy site. Watch movies online that haven't yet been released on DVD and possibly not even out in the cinemas? Not even torrent sites do that safely.

Hey, IG, what kind of PC did you end up getting?

That's a Monty Python song as well.
