Default Re: Problem with ShpEd for terrain tiles

If you make any change to the outer dimensions of a terrain shape file you will have problems.

Terrain can be re-worked and created. I've done it many times but ONLY for the Z4 zoom levels. THE GAME creates new versions of the other zoom levels automatically from the reworked z4 set but O*N*L*Y a pure DOS version of the game with the new zoom levels will build those new levels and it will only build those new levels IF it finds them missing when it tries to load them and it will ONLY do all of that IFyou are running a pre XP version of Windows.

Working with terrain in this game is akin to witchcraft and the game will NOT tolerate errors.

That said, have you tried the revised version of SHPedit I posted on these forums ? I haven't tried doing what you are doing for about 12 years but that new version will show larger images and *might* do what you want it to do.
