Ive finaly managed to edit terrain with TGE and I made a mod! XD

Desert WaterWay!

NOTE: Part of the credit belongs to Dash because I used one of his maps for a template.And in my server I got quite a problem,the terrain all appears as a ton of red "F"s atached to eachother so I would realy like some help! XD

Need help!

Did you use anything from the evil "demo" folder? Do you have all the file pathways right?
And also, dash said since it's a totally different terrain, he doesn't need the credit.

Actualy,I use stuff from the "evil" "demo" folder!!!(why is it evil?) :S

First, copy your entire TT "game" folder into your TGE folder (no subfolders). Then you need to make a.bat file that says this:

                                        

                                        cd..

                                        demo -mod game -log 1

                                        

in your evil "demo" folder.
The stuff from your "demo" folder isn't in your ThinkTanks folder, so when you host your mod with stuff from "demo", TT tries to find terrains in "ThinkTanks/demo" and can't find them. When it can't find terrains, it resorts to the default, which is red F's.

Hey you just gave me an idea!!! I make a "demo" folder in my ThinkTanks folder and I copy all the terrain in the demo folder to ThinkTank/demo!!!(but if that dosent work,tell me how to make a bat file plz)

I was going to post that, but if you do that, you will not have the ThinkTanks terrains. You could put all the ThinkTanks terrains in "demo," and then copy the demo folder to TT. That way you would have both the TGE terrains and the TT terrains.

Dont worry,I naps TGE with XPACK and besides,I copied all the terrain from the TT folder to the TGE folder.

How do I make a.bat file?

Ok...
Open any.txt or.cs file. Put this text

                                        

                                        cd..

                                        demo -log 1

                                        

Into the file, and delete all the other text. Click File-->Save As, and then there will be a place to save the file, a space to type the name, and a space to choose the filetype.
First, navigate to the "TGE/demo" directory where there is a place to save your file. Then, at the bottom where it says "Filetype: Text Document", click there to open the dropdown menu and click on All Files. Then change the name to "RUN.bat".

IT DOSENT WORK!!! XO

Ooh ooh! Your batch file is flawed. It should say:

                                        

                                        cd.. 

                                        demo -mod game

                                        

And like monice said, put in your demo folder.
And @ monica: You can't do that with your demo folder. The file paths will be screwed up. You have to take the "game" folder from TT and put it in your TGE folder. Then use the terrains from the game folder.

EDIT: The one she posted most recently won't work, the one she posted first should.

Do Not copy your demo folder to TT
You might cause art errors for anyone joining your server
Plz follow the existing format
Which is
Install XPack3 and Never ever use a demo skin !!!
We need to all be on the same page here folks
Or it will be bad for the community
ty in advance

Sweet

Still dosent work

                                            

                                            cd..

                                            demo -mod game -log 1

                                            

Follow these instructions, and you should be fine.

I followed them exactly as you said but it still looks like this:

NEED BETTER ADVICE!!! :S

Which terrain turns out to be F's? The sand one?
If it is, make sure the file paths are exactly the same in both your TGE folder and your TT folder.

All terrains

Then make ABSOLUTELY SURE that the file pathways are the same in both TGE and TT. :o

They are,and a made a new mod with TGE and it works,but prob is...the FTerrain01 part of it aint workin and all the rocks and stuff are gonzo bonzo!
