If anyone is still having trouble finding trenches go into F2 mode and then click landscape, cut_entity, trench_. They're all there. Place the trenches you would like. Hold the "C" key if you wish to rotate them. Once done in F2 mode, switch to F3 and then save under it. Reload the F3 save and the trenches you place with be locked and can no longer be moved but the ground will appear for the trenches. You're welcome
Thanks man! I love making battles in editor and playing with them! Almost like when I was a kid using real toy soldiers and tanks. Because of your tutorials I can finally do it with ease!
THANK YOU very much! I stopped for a while playing with the GEM editor, but when some holidays or Christmas time comes I have plenty of free time for creating my own batles. I noticed it's enough to stop for a couple of months and you forget a lot of things - like this one. Thanks a lot. MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
For people wondering why you have to save it in F2 mode and F3, you save in F2 so its in the map when you load it back up but if you notice the ground is going through part of the trench, thats when you save it in F3 so the ground is not going through it and it looks more real.
ok now i get that when you reload map it make your trenches go underground(the reason why i could not select them), but i understood that the "glitch" deletes polygons around them(after i ctrl+z em), so i just took poly deleter lvl3 and everything worked fine. ty anyways
Hey Stealth great video! I tested this out for myself and I guess I had selected the wrong trench since my troops, they proned instead of standing up and hid under some tiny platforms under my trench. Please tell me the correct trench I need to select!
Just asking, where did you get the map? Did you download and added it or it's just hidden? I wanted to make a beach landing where I will be the one making the map but I can't find a downloadable flat map... pls help and thnx. (BTW, I watched your tutorials, and man, it really helped me ALOT, great job bro.)
I'm not a pro when it comes to the files. However try a verify integrity game cache. It may help. Right click on Men of War, go to properties and look for local files and it should be under there.
Make sure you open the map in f2 mode only, and you place down the trenches in f2. Once you save it and reload it it should be fine. You probably placed them in f3 mode. In this mode for some reason, trenches once placed are immovable and can not be selected.
I have a problem in mowas2 i can't select the trenches, even in F2 mode.. Any ideas? My custom map is almost done but i need some defenses, any help will be greatly appreciated :P
(While in F2 mode).I place trenches down (there is irritating ground as expected), I save as and then the screen loads again. The ground in the trenches is still there...I go to reload (still in F2 mode) and the ground is still there!!! I am literally doing what you are doing stealth and it isn't working!! Any suggestions? *****
For me I can't find the trenches... Edit: ok now that I found it, I can't move the trench when I placed it down, and I can't rotate it. Yes I am in F2 mode.
F2 mode is not very noticeable. It should only have the editor information bar on the right. When you press f2 you are currently set in terrain editing mode. With this mode you are allowed to move, place, rotate, copy, paste, alter the environment. This video for example has to do with trenches which are part on the environment. How can you tell if you are in this mode: You can tell by selecting objects that are on the map, and you are allowed to manipulate terrain. I'm not sure what else to say but otherwise I have no idea why nothing happens. It would be better if you explained what the nothing is. Like when you press f2 you do not switch to that mode. If that is the case then try different key combinations with your keyboard. Like fn and the mode, or ctrl or shift.
hey 123stealthbomber ur videos are awsome extremely helpful just wonding im trying to make advanced trenches using hightmap and the the dot_trench_walls but can never get them to look anywhere near as good as other people is there a special way to do it? if so could u make a video of it haha cheers
ok as you know something more about editor can you please give me a solution on how can I dissapear the wireframe mod on vechicles ..because once I wanted to make waypoints and actions and in a step it showed me in every vechicles wireframe -green_color mode and from then I can't find a way to make it vanish I cheched and the options but nowhere said anything about that ..! so if you could help me here you will be a big guy ;
At the bottom right near the start button. There should be a text box. That text box is a entity finder. If you type in keywords it should automatically bring you to that spot. However if you do not want to it that way. You can manually find trenches in the landscape tab.

Even in f2 I can't move the trenches when I place them.
For people wondering why you have to save it in F2 mode and F3, you save in F2 so its in the map when you load it back up but if you notice the ground is going through part of the trench, thats when you save it in F3 so the ground is not going through it and it looks more real.
Ok but thank you for the answer, nice tutorials...

ok now i get that when you reload map it make your trenches go underground(the reason why i could not select them), but i understood that the "glitch" deletes polygons around them(after i ctrl+z em), so i just took poly deleter lvl3 and everything worked fine. ty anyways
I can't rotate units in BOE
Wow thank you so much I didn't know that it's so annoying when it does that
Hey Stealth great video! I tested this out for myself and I guess I had selected the wrong trench since my troops, they proned instead of standing up and hid under some tiny platforms under my trench. Please tell me the correct trench I need to select!
how do I turn right or left the stuff?
Hello, i have one question, how i can turn that trench?
how do you get the craters from mid battle to just show up as craters
Is there any way you can maybe like make the trenches underground or something?
a question mate, what key do you press to raise and lower objects/surfaces etx, because I can't seem to find it out.
Select them and hold down the "a" key. Make sure to change the constraint to none or the object will snap back to the ground.
finaly i was jears (2 months) seaching for a video like this so thanks
still useful! thanks :)
How do you raise and lower the items selected?
Just asking, where did you get the map? Did you download and added it or it's just hidden? I wanted to make a beach landing where I will be the one making the map but I can't find a downloadable flat map... pls help and thnx. (BTW, I watched your tutorials, and man, it really helped me ALOT, great job bro.)
Lel NVM, found it out. It's just clicking NEW hahaha. Silly me.
How do you use the concrete trenches that is in the section called fortifications
Just like the regular trenches you see in this video. The same rules apply.
thank you sir it always got on my last tit the shell holes now I fixed it yay!
Great tutorial! But what category are the trenches under?
just search them in your search box on the bottom right
Landscape > cut_entities > trenches_
i got a problem i know how to place them but i can turn them help me plz
thanks so much i needed to know that.
i cant select my trenches and when i place them it removes the ground instantly and i cant move it :(
Can you make a video on editing inventory/ vehicle inventory?
You are a legend
Massive help!! Thanks!!
I cant select the trenches all the time, is there some limit?
i have a problem that my men of war is saying that there is a file there isnt a SDL but i can't find the file...
I'm not a pro when it comes to the files. However try a verify integrity game cache. It may help. Right click on Men of War, go to properties and look for local files and it should be under there.
How do i turn the units like if a put a cannon and it can only turn 180 deg how do i turn it on editor
And how do i delete
hold C and move then move it with ur mouse
Knut Albert Sandvik delete is the delete button beside the End button
I know you already have a video on boats but make a tutorial on lcvps, how to open its door how to make it turn around without you too control it.
Hey I can't select the trenches after I place them in any mode at all any suggestions??
Make sure you open the map in f2 mode only, and you place down the trenches in f2. Once you save it and reload it it should be fine. You probably placed them in f3 mode. In this mode for some reason, trenches once placed are immovable and can not be selected.
I have reloaded and the trenches have not changed..
I have a problem in mowas2 i can't select the trenches, even in F2 mode.. Any ideas? My custom map is almost done but i need some defenses, any help will be greatly appreciated :P
(While in F2 mode).I place trenches down (there is irritating ground as expected), I save as and then the screen loads again. The ground in the trenches is still there...I go to reload (still in F2 mode) and the ground is still there!!! I am literally doing what you are doing stealth and it isn't working!! Any suggestions? *****
pandabear4321gogo Thats because you need to reload the map into f3 mode once you create and save in f2 mode.
